Pest control in Arnhem
From a ground nest in a hillside garden in Arnhem-Noord to mice in a walk-up flat in Presikhaaf, these are the pests people in Arnhem most often call us out for.
Mouse control
Mice find their way easily into the crawl spaces of older villas and into walk-up blocks of flats. We work out where they are coming from, close those routes and deal with the mice already inside.
Rat control
Rats near the Rijnkade or in Malburgen often come from the sewer or the riverbank. We map their route, treat in a targeted way and advise you on fitting a sewer flap.
Wasp nest removal
In Arnhem wasps nest in villa gutters, behind timber cladding and even in the ground beneath the lawn. We treat the nest in the evening, once the workers have returned.
Bed bug treatment
Bed bugs couldn't care less how tidy your home is: they travel in luggage or a second-hand wardrobe. We track them down in seams and crevices and treat them with heat.
Flea treatment
A cat or dog in the house and itchy ankles? Fleas are the obvious suspect. Have the animal treated by your vet while we take care of floors, cushions and cracks in the home.
Cockroach control
German cockroaches turn up in restaurant kitchens around the Korenmarkt and in blocks of flats with shared service ducts. With gel baits and a follow-up check we bring the population down step by step.
Ant control
Ants under the patio are a nuisance; pharaoh ants in a heated building are a more serious matter. We identify the species first, then choose bait or a targeted nest treatment.
Woodworm treatment
Timber floors, staircases and roof structures in the Spijkerkwartier and the Burgemeesterswijk are sometimes affected by woodworm or house longhorn beetle. We check whether it is still active and treat the wood.
Other pests
A stone marten in the loft, pigeons under the solar panels, silverfish in the bathroom or moths in the woollen blankets: we can help with those as well, with an approach tailored to you.

Pest control prices in Arnhem
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
Before we treat anything, we want to know exactly what we are dealing with. That is why every job in Arnhem begins with an inspection for €90 that already covers the call-out fee and VAT. Nothing is added if you live in Schaarsbergen or on the edge of town.
At the end of the inspection you receive a concrete proposal with a fixed price for the treatment. That price depends on the pest, the extent of the problem and how many visits are needed. A wasp nest under the gutter is a very different job from mice in a three-storey villa with an old crawl space. We only continue once you agree.

Pest control at home in a green city
Ongediertebestrijding Arnhem serves residents, landlords and businesses throughout Arnhem, on both banks of the Rhine. Our certified specialists are available 24/7 and come out 7 days a week. We tell you honestly what is needed – and also when something does not need treating at all, such as a bumblebee nest that will disappear on its own.
Few Dutch cities are as green as Arnhem. In the north, villa districts such as the Burgemeesterswijk merge into Sonsbeek park and the woods towards the Veluwezoom; old trees, large gardens and timber outbuildings attract wasps and mice. The Spijkerkwartier and Klarendal have many nineteenth-century and pre-war buildings with wooden joists. South of the Rhine lie newer districts such as Schuytgraaf, where mice move from the open fields into the new-build homes.
That is why we always look at the surroundings of your home, not just at the animal itself. A gap under the front door, a loose roof tile or a broken drain often explains more than the pest. We work according to integrated pest management and only use professional products when proofing and prevention alone are not enough.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pest control in Arnhem cost?
You start with an inspection for €90 including call-out fee and VAT. Afterwards you know exactly which pest is involved and what the treatment will cost. That price is fixed before we begin and depends on the pest, the size of the problem and the number of visits required.
Do you come out in the evening or at the weekend?
Yes, you can call us 24/7 and we work every day of the week. We actually prefer to treat a wasp nest in the evening, because that is when all the wasps are inside. For mice and rats we book a time when you are at home, Saturdays and Sundays included.
Can my children and pets stay at home during the treatment?
Usually, yes. We use locked bait stations, gels in crevices and treatments in places out of reach. With some treatments, for fleas or bed bugs for instance, we ask you to keep out of a room for a few hours. We discuss this beforehand so you can plan around it.
What can I do while waiting for the inspection?
Make a note of where and when you see the pests, and leave droppings or gnaw marks where they are. Keep the door to the affected room closed and put food away. With a wasp nest, stay out of the flight path and don't push anything into the opening. The more we can see, the more precisely we can work.
We live in an old villa in Arnhem-Noord. Does that make it harder?
Old villas often have crawl spaces, timber floors, cavity walls and a roof with plenty of joints. That gives mice, wasps and woodworm more opportunities. We take our time and also check the loft and cellar for signs. Where there are characterful period details, we choose proofing that blends in.
There is a wasp nest in the ground in my garden. What now?
Ground nests are more common in Arnhem's green gardens than many people think; wasps often move into an old mouse hole. Don't mow over the entrance and keep children and dogs away. We treat the nest in the evening, directly at the entrance, after which activity soon dies down.
Can you do anything about a stone marten?
Yes. Stone martens are regularly found in and around green Arnhem, and they crawl under roof tiles, into cavity walls or into car engine bays. We focus on keeping them out: sealing openings and making the route to the roof unattractive, so the animal looks for a resting place elsewhere.

Pest control in Arnhem for homes, gardens and businesses
Between the Veluwezoom and the Rhine floodplains lies a city full of greenery, old trees and a wide mix of housing. That makes Arnhem a pleasant place to live, but it also gives mice, wasps and rats plenty of opportunity. Ongediertebestrijding Arnhem offers pest control in Arnhem for households, owners' associations (VvE) and businesses that want the problem solved quickly and thoroughly.
Good pest control Arnhem residents can rely on comes down to the right order: look first, then proof, and only then treat. That reduces the chance of the same problem returning next season. For background reading on pest species, the Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen is a useful source.
Mouse control in Arnhem
You usually notice mice in the evening first: rustling inside the wall, ticking above the ceiling or the dog that keeps sniffing at the kitchen cupboard. Then the droppings appear. In Arnhem we see two typical situations. In the older villas of Arnhem-Noord, mice travel through crawl spaces, cellars and service ducts all over the house. In Schuytgraaf and Rijkerswoerd they move in from the surrounding fields in autumn. A gap of around 6 mm is enough for a mouse. Our mouse control combines proofing with targeted trapping or secure bait stations. As certified professionals we use rodenticides only where needed and in moderation. Our advice: keep the area around the meter cupboard and pipe entries properly sealed.
Rat control in Arnhem
A rat in the house is hard to miss: larger droppings, greasy runs along the wall and gnawing on wooden doors or cables. Along the Rijnkade and in districts near the floodplains, such as Malburgen, rats naturally live close to the water. Elsewhere in the city they usually get in via the sewer, and a sunken or broken house connection is the weak spot. Our rat control starts at that source. We can advise on having a drainage specialist inspect the pipes by camera and on fitting a rat flap, which stops them coming back up the pipe. Rats in a park or on the street can be reported to the gemeente Arnhem. Don't leave windfall fruit or open compost lying in the garden.
Wasp nest removal in Arnhem
In Arnhem, wasps are a fixture of every summer. Large gardens, old trees, timber sheds and woodland around the corner mean plenty of nests each year. We find them behind the timber cladding of villas in the Burgemeesterswijk, inside the cavity walls of Elderveld's terraced streets, under roof tiles in Presikhaaf and sometimes simply in the ground beneath the lawn. You can spot a wasp nest by wasps that keep flying the same route. Treatment ideally happens in the evening, when all the workers are home: we apply the product directly into the entrance, and activity then drops off quickly. Never seal the opening yourself, as the wasps will look for a way indoors. To prevent a new wasp nest, check the loft, shed and eaves in April and May for a small, papery queen's nest in the making.
Bed bug treatment in Arnhem
Bed bugs say nothing about how clean your home is. They travel in luggage after a holiday or business trip, in a second-hand chair bought online, or with a house guest. By day they hide in mattress seams, behind skirting boards and in the bed frame; at night they come out to bite. Bites that run in a short trail across an arm or shoulder and dark specks on the bedding are typical clues. We also come across them in student rooms in Arnhem. Once we are sure it is bed bugs, we carry out a heat treatment, supplemented where necessary with a product in cracks and seams. After a trip, it is wise to unpack your suitcase outside the bedroom and wash clothes on a hot cycle straight away.
Flea treatment in Arnhem
Fleas are tiny insects, flattened from side to side, that can jump astonishing distances. They usually come in on a cat or dog that picked them up in the garden or on a walk in the Veluwezoom. Scratching pets and red bites around your ankles are the first signs. Most of a flea infestation, however, does not live on the animal but as eggs, larvae and pupae in rugs, cushions and crevices. So your pet goes to the vet while we deal with the house at the same time. Afterwards, daily vacuuming, including under furniture and along the skirting boards, picks up the last fleas as they hatch.
Cockroach control in Arnhem
In restaurant kitchens around the Korenmarkt, in staff canteens and in blocks of flats with shared service ducts, the German cockroach can multiply quickly. It is a light-brown insect of just over a centimetre with two dark stripes behind the head. It lives hidden in warm crevices, under the fridge and behind the dishwasher, coming out at night. A musty smell and small brown egg cases point to a larger population. We treat cockroaches with gel bait placed exactly where they run, and return for a follow-up check. For catering businesses we time our visits around opening hours. You can prevent a lot yourself by sealing gaps around pipes and not leaving dishes or rubbish out.
Ant control in Arnhem
Black garden ants like to build their nests under patio paving or in the joints along the front of the house. In spring they come indoors looking for sweet things and march across the floor in long lines. In a heated building, such as an apartment complex or a care facility, you may be dealing with pharaoh ants instead. They are much smaller, yellowish in colour and form several nests at once, which calls for a specialist approach with dedicated bait. With ordinary garden ants we target the nest and the trail. Our advice: wipe up sweet spills immediately, seal joints between patio and wall, and keep sugar and honey in closed containers.
Woodworm treatment in Arnhem
Many Arnhem homes from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries still have their original wooden floors, staircases and roof structures – think of the townhouses in the Spijkerkwartier or the villas of the Burgemeesterswijk. Woodworm can do its work there unnoticed. You see small round exit holes with fine bore dust beneath them, usually in spring and summer. The house longhorn beetle leaves larger, oval holes and mainly attacks softwood in the roof. We investigate whether the infestation is still active and how deep it goes, and treat the timber with a suitable product. Structurally weakened beams should be assessed by a builder. Keep the loft and crawl space dry and well ventilated, because damp wood is especially vulnerable.
Silverfish control in Arnhem
Small, silvery-grey insects that dart away in the bathroom or behind a kitchen cupboard in the evening are usually silverfish. They feed on skin flakes, mould and starch, for example from wallpaper paste or paper. Above all, silverfish are a signal that somewhere in the house it is too damp. In the walk-up flats of Presikhaaf and the older homes of Klarendal we often see this in bathrooms with little ventilation. We treat cracks and joints and work with you to find the cause, such as a leaking sealant strip or an extractor fan that is not pulling properly. A drier bathroom does more than anything else to keep new silverfish away.
Moth control in Arnhem
Moths fall into two groups. Clothes moths lay their eggs in wool, silk, fur and felt, and the larvae eat holes in clothing, carpets and rugs. Pantry moths, such as the Indian meal moth, live in nuts, grains, flour and bird seed and leave fine webbing in the packaging. In spacious old houses with large wardrobes and lofts, a moth infestation can go unnoticed for a long time. We find the breeding site, advise which items need to go and treat the cupboards and the gaps around them. Pheromone traps help us monitor whether any moths are still active. Store seasonal clothing clean and airtight, and buy dry goods in smaller quantities.
Hornet nest removal in Arnhem
Arnhem is surrounded by extensive woodland, and the city itself has many tall trees, from Sonsbeek park to the avenues of Arnhem-Noord. That makes it important to recognise the Asian hornet. This invasive species is mostly black, has yellow legs and builds a large nest in summer, often high in a treetop. In spring, queens start with a small nest under a porch roof or in a shed. If you see one, please report it on waarneming.nl. We then inspect the nest and take it down safely. The native European hornet is larger and reddish-brown with yellow; we prefer to leave it alone as long as it causes no problems.
Bee nest removal in Arnhem
Honey bees are essential for pollinating the gardens, parks and orchards around Arnhem. That is why we do not destroy a swarm in a hedge or a colony that has settled in a cavity wall. A beekeeper can collect the swarm and give it a new home. Bumblebees, which often nest in the ground, in bird boxes or under sheds, are left alone wherever possible; their nest is abandoned after a single season. We can, however, help you work out exactly which insect you have, because wasps, bees and bumblebees are often confused. That way you know whether action is needed and who is best placed to help.
Pigeon control in Arnhem
Feral pigeons like to breed on ledges, under solar panels and in recesses in buildings. In the centre of Arnhem, around the station and on the older properties along the shopping streets, that leads to dirty façades and droppings on terraces and pavements. At homes, solar panels are increasingly a problem: pigeons nest underneath and cause noise and mess. We install pigeon proofing that suits the building – spikes on ledges, netting for recesses and balconies, tensioned wire, or mesh around solar panels – and remove nests and fouling. Feeding nearby makes any deterrent less effective, so agree on that with the neighbours as well.
The cost of pest control in Arnhem
A fair price starts with knowing what is going on. At Ongediertebestrijding Arnhem you pay €90 for the inspection, call-out fee and VAT included, wherever in Arnhem you live.
Based on that inspection, you receive a price proposal for the treatment. We agree the amount in advance, so you are not faced with surprises. How much it is depends on the type of pest, the scale of the infestation and the number of visits. A wasp nest is usually dealt with in one go, whereas mice or cockroaches sometimes need a follow-up visit. Our pest control in Arnhem is competitively priced, and we explain what you are paying for.
