Pest control in Breda
From a listed building on the Haven to a terraced house on the edge of town, every property needs its own approach. These are the pests we help with in Breda.
Mouse control
Mice are Breda's autumn classic. They slip in through the crawl space, air vents and pipe openings. We tackle them precisely and seal gaps from around 6 mm.
Rat control
Rats around a pond, the chicken run or under the decking often point to a sewer problem. We deal with the rats and advise on a rat flap and camera inspection.
Wasp nest removal
We safely remove wasp nests under the roof tiles, in cavity walls or in the summerhouse, ideally towards evening. A nest in an awkward spot, high under the gutter, is no problem either.
Bed bug treatment
Bed bugs arrive with luggage, second-hand furniture or overnight guests. We track them down in seams, bed frames and skirting, treat them with heat and give you clear instructions beforehand.
Flea treatment
Fleas from a dog or cat settle into rugs and floor gaps. We treat the home, your vet treats the pet, and together we break the cycle of eggs, larvae and adults.
Cockroach control
German cockroaches turn up in restaurant kitchens around the Grote Markt and Havermarkt, and in flats too. We treat them with gel baits and give advice on hygiene and joints.
Ant control
We tackle ants under the patio or in the kitchen at the nest itself. For pharaoh ants in heated buildings we use a specialist treatment with dedicated bait.
Woodworm treatment
Breda has many old buildings with oak beams and roof trusses. We establish whether woodworm or longhorn beetle is active and advise on treating floors, roofs and furniture.
Other pests
Silverfish in the bathroom, moths in the wardrobe, spiders, a stone marten in the loft or pigeons on the roof? We come out for those too, with a suitable solution.

Pest control prices in Breda
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
An inspection by Ongediertebestrijding Breda costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. For that, a certified specialist visits your home or business, maps out the problem and tracks down the cause. You get honest advice, even if it turns out no treatment is needed.
If you want us to tackle the pests, we name the price first. It depends on the species, the size of the infestation and how many visits are required. Woodworm treatment in a listed building is a different job from a wasp nest in a garden shed. We only start once you agree.

Your pest controller in Breda and the surrounding area
Ongediertebestrijding Breda helps homeowners, VvEs, restaurants and businesses throughout the municipality of Breda. Our certified specialists follow the method of integrated pest management: they inspect, remove the cause and only then treat in a targeted way. That keeps product use to a minimum and reduces the chance of the problem coming back.
Breda combines a historic centre with green neighbourhoods and plenty of water. Around the singels and the Haven stand buildings with centuries-old timber beams, where woodworm and longhorn beetle feel at home. Ginneken borders the Mastbos woods, so mice, wasps and the occasional stone marten easily find their way into gardens. In post-war districts such as Hoge Vucht and the Haagse Beemden, mice in the crawl space and wasps in cavity walls are more typical.
We are available 24/7 and work Monday to Sunday. You get a prompt appointment, a fixed inspection price and clarity about treatment in advance. Afterwards we give practical advice so you know how to prevent new problems.

Frequently asked questions
What does an inspection by Ongediertebestrijding Breda cost?
The inspection costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. We identify the pest, how it gets in and which approach fits. We then discuss the treatment price and agree it with you in advance.
I can hear mice in the cavity wall or under the floor. What now?
Mice in Breda homes often live in the crawl space, the cavity wall or above a suspended ceiling. Call us for an inspection: we find the entry points and treat the mice with bait in sealed stations. Do not leave food out yourself and note where you see droppings or gnaw marks.
Is the woodworm in my beams still active, or is it old?
You cannot tell from the holes alone. Fresh bore dust, holes with light-coloured edges and ticking sounds in spring point to activity. In the old city centre and in Princenhage we regularly find woodworm in roof structures and floors. During the inspection we establish whether the infestation is active and whether treatment makes sense.
Can you come on a Saturday or Sunday?
Certainly. We are reachable 24/7 and work every day of the week. A wasp nest above the back door or a rat in the kitchen will not wait until Monday, and neither will we. We book the visit for the first moment that suits you.
Is pest control safe with children and pets in the house?
Yes, when it is done properly. We only use products where truly necessary and place bait in sealed stations. Beforehand we tell you which rooms are best avoided for a while and whether the rabbit or cat should move to another room.
What should I do before the pest controller arrives?
Leave the pests alone as much as possible so we can assess the situation properly. Do not spray a wasp nest and do not move belongings if you have bed bugs. Clear away food and rubbish and take photos of any signs. That helps us get to the heart of the matter quickly.
Why do I get wasps under my roof tiles every year?
Wasps build a new nest every year, but they like the same kind of spots. On many Breda homes that means open perpend joints, gaps under the roof tiles or damaged bird stops. After removing the nest we advise on sealing those openings, so a new queen has less chance.

Pest control in Breda: a historic city with its own pests
Breda is a city with two faces. Inside the singels stand listed buildings around the Grote Kerk, the Begijnhof and the castle; beyond them lie leafy villa districts, post-war neighbourhoods and new housing. Each of these areas has different weak spots for pests. As Ongediertebestrijding Breda we know those differences and tailor our pest control in Breda to them.
Whether it is mice, wasps, woodworm or bed bugs, we always follow the same order: investigate first, then tackle the cause, and only as a final step carry out targeted treatment. If you would like to read more about pest species, take a look at the website of the Dutch Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen.
Mouse control in Breda
As soon as the October nights turn colder, it begins: gnawing in the cavity wall, droppings in the cupboard under the sink and nibbled biscuit packets in the larder. Mice need an opening of only about 6 mm. In Breda's terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s, such as those in the Haagse Beemden, they often get in via the crawl space and open perpend joints. In older homes in Ginneken or Princenhage they run along pipes and under wooden floors. Our mouse control starts by finding every entry point. We place professional bait in sealed stations and close the openings with steel wool, mesh or mortar. Tip: keep bird food and dog kibble in a sealed bin, not in an open bag in the garage.
Rat control in Breda
A brown rat is much larger than a mouse and leaves clear signs: droppings over a centimetre long, runs through the grass, burrows under garden paving and gnaw damage on wooden shed doors. In Breda we often see them in gardens bordering water, such as along the Mark and the singels, near chicken coops and around the bins of restaurants. Indoors they usually arrive via a broken sewer pipe or a loose connection. Our rat control targets both the animals and that weak spot. We advise on fitting a rat flap and on a camera inspection by a drainage specialist. Report rats in public spaces, such as a park or green verge, to the gemeente Breda. Tip: do not throw food scraps on the compost heap.
Wasp nest removal in Breda
From June onwards, many people in Breda notice the first wasps flying in and out of a gap under the gutter. A single queen starts on her own in spring; by August the nest has grown into a busy colony. In Breda, a wasp nest is often found in a cavity wall, under roof tiles, behind timber cladding or in a summerhouse. We also find them in bird boxes and roller shutter casings. We prefer to deal with wasps at the end of the day, once they have returned. We apply a product through the entry hole so the whole wasp nest is treated, after which activity soon dies down. Tip: keep windows near the nest closed and never swat at wasps, as it makes them more aggressive.
Woodworm treatment in Breda
Breda has many historic buildings, from listed properties inside the singels to old farmhouses in Bavel and Princenhage. That means a lot of old timber, and so a risk of woodworm. The common furniture beetle lays its eggs in cracks in the wood; the larvae tunnel through it for years and leave round holes of one to two millimetres when they emerge. The house longhorn beetle makes larger, oval holes and mainly attacks softwood in roof structures. Fine, fresh bore dust under a beam or piece of furniture is the clearest sign of activity. Pest control in Breda often means looking at timber, so we assess whether the infestation is active, how far it extends and whether the structure is at risk. We then advise on a suitable treatment. Tip: keep the loft and crawl space dry, as damp wood is especially vulnerable.
Bed bug treatment in Breda
Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home. They hitch a ride in suitcases, bags and second-hand furniture and can settle in any house, hotel or student room. In Breda, with its city-centre hotels, students at the universities of applied sciences and many visitors, we come across them regularly. You recognise them by itchy bumps in a row, blood spots on the bedding and black specks in mattress seams. We inspect the bed, surrounding furniture and skirting boards and treat the bed bugs with heat. You receive a checklist in advance to prepare the room. Tip: when you get home from a hotel, check the seams and pockets of your suitcase.
Flea treatment in Breda
Fleas are often only noticed when the people in the house start getting bitten, usually around the ankles and lower legs. The cause is nearly always a dog or cat that picked them up outdoors, for example on a walk in the Mastbos or the Liesbos. The adult fleas live on the animal, but eggs, larvae and pupae are in the home. That is why we work together: the vet treats the pet and we treat the house. Vacuum all floors, rugs and furniture thoroughly beforehand and empty the vacuum cleaner outside straight away. After treatment, daily vacuuming remains important for a few weeks, because pupae hatch later.
Moth control in Breda
Moths are small, but the damage can be considerable. Clothes moth larvae eat holes in woollen jumpers, coats, carpets and even upholstery. Pantry moths spin webs in packets of flour, rice, nuts and cereal and flutter around the kitchen light in the evening. We identify the species, find the source of the infestation and use pheromone traps to measure its extent and catch the males. For a persistent problem we treat cupboards and cracks. Tip: wash or freeze clothes before you put them away for the summer, and regularly check forgotten supplies at the back of the cupboard.
Silverfish control in Breda
Do small, shiny insects dash away when you switch on the bathroom light at night? Then they are probably silverfish. They live on skin flakes, paper, wallpaper paste and mould, and only thrive in damp surroundings. In Breda we see them in older homes with poorly ventilated crawl spaces and in new builds where construction moisture has not yet dried out. Treating silverfish without tackling the damp makes little sense. We treat the hiding places and advise on ventilation and fixing leaks. Tip: leave the bathroom door open after showering and keep a window ajar.
Ant control in Breda
Ants are useful in the garden, but not when they march in a long line across the worktop or push sand up between the patio tiles. In Breda it is usually the black garden ant, which nests under paving and along foundations. We find the nest and treat it in a targeted way, together with the trails. That way we deal with the colony rather than just the ants you see. In heated buildings such as care homes or apartment complexes, pharaoh ants can occur. They require a specialist approach with dedicated bait. Tip: sweep up crumbs and sugar straight away and seal gaps in the skirting.
Cockroach control in Breda
The German cockroach is a true indoor dweller. It loves warmth, moisture and food scraps and hides in joints behind the cooker, the dishwasher or in the fridge motor. In Breda we come across them in restaurant kitchens around the Grote Markt and Havermarkt, in staff canteens and sometimes in apartment blocks. If you see one walking about in daytime, the infestation is often bigger than you think. We treat with gel baits and agree a time with restaurant owners that does not disrupt their business. Tip: check deliveries of boxes and crates, because cockroaches also travel in packaging.
Pigeon control in Breda
On the roofs and ledges of the city centre, on apartment balconies and under solar panels on terraced houses, pigeons cause a fair amount of nuisance. Their droppings soil façades and terraces and can block gutters. Pigeon control is all about making landing and nesting impossible. We fit spike strips on edges, nets across balconies and recesses, tensioned wire on long ledges and mesh under solar panels. On listed buildings we choose solutions that affect the appearance as little as possible. Tip: do not feed pigeons, not even on the balcony, as that only attracts them.
Hornet nest removal in Breda
Breda lies close to the Belgian border, and in Belgium the Asian hornet has been present for some years. So it is wise to stay alert. You recognise this hornet by its dark body with an orange band and its yellow legs. The nest is large and round and usually hangs high in a tree, for instance in the Mastbos or in a park such as the Valkenberg. In spring the queen sometimes builds a small primary nest first, under a canopy or in a shed. Report a sighting on waarneming.nl and keep your distance. We remove the nest with the right protective clothing and equipment.
Bee nest removal in Breda
A swarm of honey bees suddenly hanging in a tree or against your wall looks impressive. There is no need to panic, though: a swarm is usually peaceful and often stays only briefly. Honey bees are not exterminated. Ideally we call in a beekeeper who collects the swarm or colony and gives it a new home. Bumblebees in a nest box, in the ground or under a shed floor are left alone as far as possible; after one season the colony dies off naturally. We help you identify the insect and advise on the best solution. Tip: keep your distance and never spray anything at a swarm.
What does pest control in Breda cost?
Every job starts with an inspection. At Ongediertebestrijding Breda it costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. During the visit we look at what is going on and what the best approach is.
For the treatment itself you receive a price after the inspection, which we agree with you before we start. How high it is depends on the pest, the size of the infestation and the number of visits. Treating woodworm in an entire roof structure takes more work than a single wasp nest. You always know beforehand what pest control in Breda will cost you.
