Pest control in Nijmegen
Every pest calls for a different approach. These are the problems we deal with most in Nijmegen, from mice in older terraced houses to wasps in the new-build homes across the Waal.
Mouse control
Mice slip in through gaps of just a few millimetres, especially in the older homes of Bottendaal and Altrade. We find the entry points, seal them and treat in a targeted way, so the skirting boards go quiet.
Rat control
Rats along the Waalkade, in a back garden in Hees or under a shed? We trace the source – often a broken sewer pipe – and advise on a rat flap and other measures.
Wasp nest removal
Wasps vanishing into a gap in the brickwork, under the tiles or into the shed? We deal with the nest safely, ideally in the evening when the colony is home – including in new-build Nijmegen-Noord.
Bed bug treatment
Bed bugs turn up regularly in student houses and wherever residents change often. We confirm the infestation, treat with heat and give you clear instructions for clothing, bedding and luggage.
Flea treatment
Fleas nearly always hitch a ride on a dog or cat. While your vet treats the animal, we treat the home – floors, rugs and pet beds – so the life cycle is properly broken.
Cockroach control
German cockroaches love warm kitchens: in restaurants around the Grote Markt, but also in flats and student kitchens. We apply gel baits where they hide and check the result afterwards.
Ant control
Garden ants or pharaoh ants in a heated apartment block: the difference decides the treatment. We identify the species first and then target the nests and the routes they use.
Woodworm treatment
Small holes and fine dust in beams or furniture? We regularly find woodworm and house longhorn beetle in the pre-war buildings of Nijmegen-Oost and the Benedenstad. We inspect the structure and treat affected timber.
Other pests
Silverfish in the bathroom, moths in the wardrobe or food cupboard, spiders, pigeons on the balcony or a stone marten under the tiles: call us for those as well. We look first, then fix.

Pest control prices in Nijmegen
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
Every job starts with an inspection. It costs €90 and the call-out fee and VAT are already included, whether you live in the centre, in Hatert or on the far side of the Waal. During that visit we establish which pest is involved, how big the problem is and where it is coming from.
Only then do we discuss treatment. You hear the price beforehand, so there are no surprises later. What you pay is shaped by the pest itself, how far it has spread and how often we need to come back: a single wasp nest is a different job from a stubborn mouse problem in an old house. You decide whether we go ahead.

Local pest control with a no-nonsense approach
Ongediertebestrijding Nijmegen is your local contact for problems with mice, rats, wasps and other pests in the city. We are available 24/7, visit 7 days a week and work with certified professionals. No sales pitch – just an honest assessment of what is going on and what it takes to fix it.
Nijmegen is a city of contrasts, and its pests reflect that. The Benedenstad and the streets of Bottendaal are full of old houses with timber floors and crawl spaces that mice move through easily. Along the Waal and the Spiegelwaal, rats are never far away. In the new-build homes of Lent and Oosterhout wasps like to settle under the roof tiles, while bed bugs travel quickly through the many student houses.
We work along the lines of integrated pest management. In practice that means looking carefully first, then closing off the way in, and only intervening directly as the final step. Professional products are used only where they genuinely add something. That keeps the result lasting and the treatment as safe as possible for your family and pets.

Frequently asked questions
What will pest control in Nijmegen cost me?
Our first visit is an inspection for €90 with call-out fee and VAT already built in. On site we work out what is going on and which treatment fits. You hear the figure for that treatment before we begin; it reflects the pest, how widespread it is and how many visits are needed. Nothing happens without your go-ahead.
Do you also come out on Saturdays and Sundays?
Certainly. The phone is answered day and night and we are on the road 7 days a week. A wasp nest above the front door on a Sunday afternoon, or mice in the kitchen on a Friday night? We will book a visit in Nijmegen or the surrounding area as soon as we can.
Are your methods safe with children and pets in the house?
We pick the least intrusive method for each situation. Bait sits in locked stations or in places small hands and curious noses cannot reach. If a room has to stay closed for a while, you are told in advance and for how long. Do you have a cat, dog or rabbit? Just mention it when you book.
Is there anything I should do while I wait for you?
Please don't clean up the evidence: droppings, gnaw marks and holes tell us where the animals are coming from. Put food in sealed containers and don't leave scraps out. Never block a wasp nest yourself, and avoid reaching for an aerosol just beforehand, because insects tend to retreat deeper into the house.
Why do we have mice in our new-build home in Nijmegen-Noord?
New houses in Lent or Oosterhout are not automatically mouse-proof. Mice get in through openings of around 6 mm, for example around pipe entries, open weep joints or badly fitted window frames. Around building sites and vacant plots they look for warmth in autumn. We locate those entry points, seal them and deal with the mice that are already inside.
I rent a room in a student house and have bed bugs. What now?
Tell your landlord and housemates straight away, because bed bugs move quickly between rooms. Don't take bags or clothes to friends or family until the infestation has been treated. We can inspect the whole house and carry out a heat treatment. Who pays the bill is something you agree among yourselves.
How do I recognise woodworm in an old house?
Look for round holes of one to two millimetres in beams, floors or furniture, with fine powder underneath. House longhorn beetles leave larger, oval holes, usually in the roof timbers. In older properties in Nijmegen-Oost or the Benedenstad an inspection is worthwhile, so you know whether the infestation is still active.

Pest control in Nijmegen: help with every pest
Nijmegen is often called the oldest city in the Netherlands, and old cities come with old gaps and cracks. Sooner or later most residents meet mice in the crawl space, wasps under the gutter or moths in the wardrobe. Ongediertebestrijding Nijmegen provides pest control in Nijmegen for homeowners, tenants, landlords and businesses who want the problem solved quickly and properly.
Our method is simple: a thorough inspection first, then proofing and prevention, and only then a targeted treatment. That way we deal with the animals and with the reason they got in. For pest control Nijmegen residents can reach us 24/7.
Mouse control in Nijmegen
Pattering above the ceiling at night, droppings like black rice grains in the cutlery drawer, a cereal box with a chewed corner: house mice have moved in. They squeeze through gaps of about 6 mm, so the space around a heating pipe is enough. In the pre-war homes of Altrade, Bottendaal and Nijmegen-Oost they travel through crawl spaces and cavity walls from one house to the next. Our mouse control therefore always starts with finding those routes. We seal openings with gnaw-proof material and, where needed, place tamper-resistant bait stations or snap traps. Professional rodenticides are reserved for certified pest controllers, and we keep their use to a minimum. Tip: store pet food and bird seed in sealed containers too.
Rat control in Nijmegen
A dark smear along the skirting, paving slabs sinking in the back garden and shuffling under the floorboards at night: that is how a rat announces itself. Near the water, along the Waalkade and the Spiegelwaal, nobody is surprised. In residential streets, however, many rats come up from the sewer through a broken or loose pipe under the house. Effective rat control therefore starts with the drains. A camera inspection by a sewer specialist is often worthwhile, followed by a rat flap (rattenklep) that stops them coming back. Rats around an underground bin or in the verges along your street should be passed on to the gemeente Nijmegen. Avoid scattering bread or bird food on the ground.
Wasp nest removal in Nijmegen
A steady stream of wasps disappearing into the same joint or under the same roof tile gives away a wasp nest. In Nijmegen we often find them in the cavity walls of terraced houses in Dukenburg and Lindenholt, under roof tiles in Lent and in wooden sheds on allotments. Never block the entrance hole: the wasps will look for another way out, sometimes into your home. We prefer to treat in the evening, when the whole colony is inside, applying the product directly into the nest opening. Activity usually drops off quickly afterwards. Tip: in late summer keep sweet drinks and fruit covered on the patio, because an open glass draws wasps from any wasp nest nearby.
Bed bug treatment in Nijmegen
Wake up in a student room with itchy bumps on your arms and neck, and most people blame mosquitoes. If the bites keep coming back and you find rust-brown marks along the edge of the mattress, bed bugs are the likelier culprit. They hitch a ride in suitcases, backpacks and second-hand furniture. In a student city with plenty of rented rooms and frequent moves, they spread easily from one room to the next. We first confirm that it really is bed bugs and how far they have spread. We then treat with heat, supported where necessary by a product applied to hiding places, and give you clear instructions for laundry and belongings. Tip: never put luggage on the bed after a trip, and check a second-hand sofa or bed frame carefully before it comes home with you.
Flea treatment in Nijmegen
Is your cat suddenly scratching a lot, or are there tiny jumping specks on the sofa? Then you probably have fleas. The adults live on the animal, but eggs and larvae hide in cracks, rugs and the pet's basket, which is why only a two-sided approach works. Have your pet treated by the vet and let us treat the home at the same time: floors, skirting boards and upholstered furniture. We also tell you how long to keep vacuuming afterwards. Fleas can even appear in an empty rental property, as the pupae can wait months for a new occupant. Tip: vacuum daily and empty the vacuum cleaner outside straight away.
Cockroach control in Nijmegen
A brown insect that scuttles off the moment you switch on the kitchen light at night is almost certainly a German cockroach. Spotting them in daylight as well usually means a sizeable population. They seek warmth and moisture behind fridges and dishwashers and inside kitchen appliances. Restaurants and cafés around the Grote Markt and the Waalkade are vulnerable, as are shared kitchens in student complexes. We use gel baits placed in cracks and hinges, which the insects carry back to their hiding places. After a few weeks we check the result. Tip: don't leave dirty dishes or open rubbish bags out overnight, and seal gaps behind the worktop.
Ant control in Nijmegen
A trail of ants across the worktop in spring usually comes from the black garden ant, which nests in the garden or under the patio. Pharaoh ants are a different story. These minute, amber-coloured ants live year-round in heated buildings like blocks of flats and care homes. They call for a specialist approach, since ordinary spraying causes the colony to split. We start by identifying the species, then treat with bait or directly at the nest, and advise on sealing joints and cracks. Tip: wipe up sugar and crumbs straight away and keep the kitchen sink clean.
Woodworm treatment in Nijmegen
Tap an old floor joist and watch pale powder trickle from tiny round holes? The common furniture beetle has been at work. Its larvae spend years tunnelling through the timber unseen. The house longhorn beetle, found mostly in softwood roof timbers, leaves larger, oval holes. Nijmegen has a lot of old housing: the Benedenstad, the townhouses on the Hunnerberg and the workers' homes of the Wolfskuil often still have their original joists. We assess whether the infestation is still active, treat the timber with a suitable product and advise on controlling moisture in crawl space and loft. Tip: have antique furniture or reclaimed planks checked before bringing them indoors.
Silverfish control in Nijmegen
Silverfish are fast, shiny insects that dart around bathrooms, toilets and kitchens, mostly at night. They are harmless, but they do signal high humidity. In older ground-floor flats with a damp crawl space, and in bathrooms without decent extraction, they are common in Nijmegen. Treating them without tackling the damp makes little sense. We find the source of the moisture, treat joints and cracks and advise on ventilation. In new-build homes we sometimes come across grey silverfish, a relative that also survives in drier rooms. Tip: open a window after showering or let the extractor fan run longer.
Moth control in Nijmegen
Bare patches in a woollen cardigan, or a small moth fluttering away as you open the wardrobe: clothes moths have found you. In the kitchen it is pantry moths, recognisable by silky threads in flour, rice or muesli. It is the larvae that do the damage. We first map where the moths are breeding, remove infested supplies and treat cupboards and crevices. Pheromone traps show whether males are still flying around. In student houses with shared food cupboards, a joint clear-out is half the job. Tip: keep dry food in glass jars and wash woollens before putting them away for the season.
Hornet nest removal in Nijmegen
The Asian hornet has been turning up more and more often in the Netherlands in recent years. Look for an almost black abdomen with a single orange ring and legs with yellow tips. Its large nest often hangs high in a tree and is only noticed once the leaves fall. On the wooded eastern side of the city, towards Berg en Dal, it is worth keeping an eye on the treetops in autumn. Please report a sighting on waarneming.nl. We assess the nest and arrange safe removal with the right equipment. Tip: keep your distance and never try to disturb a hornet nest yourself.
Bee nest removal in Nijmegen
A buzzing crack in the brickwork or a cluster of insects hanging from a branch in the garden may well be bees rather than wasps. We do not exterminate honey bees: a swarm, or a colony in the chimney, is best collected and rehomed by a beekeeper (imker). Bumblebees like to nest in an old mouse hole, a bird box or under decking, and we leave them alone wherever possible. They are peaceful and the colony dies off naturally during the summer. Not sure what you are looking at? Give us a call. We identify whether it is bees, bumblebees or wasps and advise on the next step. Tip: keep children and pets away from a swarm.
Pigeon control in Nijmegen
Pigeons on a balcony or roof edge mean droppings, blocked gutters and noise early in the morning. Around the station and the squares in the centre, but also on the gallery flats of Hatert and Dukenburg, they look for quiet places to breed. We install pigeon proofing with spikes, netting or tensioned wire, tailored to the building, and clear away nests and mess where necessary. On a listed building we look for a solution that is barely visible. Tip: don't feed pigeons, and cover balcony planters with mesh.
What does pest control cost in Nijmegen?
We believe in clarity up front. Every job therefore starts with an inspection for €90 – call-out fee and VAT included. That way you know your minimum outlay before anyone rings the bell.
After the inspection you hear which treatment is needed and what pest control in Nijmegen will cost in your situation. That price is fixed with you in advance. What decides it: which animal is involved, how stubborn the infestation is and whether a second or third visit is needed. A single wasp nest is quickly dealt with, while mice in an old house full of gaps take more time. At Ongediertebestrijding Nijmegen pricing is competitive and there are no hidden extras.
