Pest control in Utrecht
From wharf cellars to new-build lofts, every Utrecht property has its own weak spots. Here is a short overview of how we deal with each pest.
Mouse control
Mice creep in from the crawl space or the garden, often through a gap around a pipe. We find the entry point, deal with the mice and close the opening for good.
Rat control
Near the canals, the Vecht and the city moat, rats live close to people's homes. We work out how they get in, often via a faulty drain, and tackle the problem at its source.
Wasp nest removal
Wasps like to nest in the cavity walls of 1930s houses and under the tiles of new builds. We treat or remove the nest safely, ideally in the evening when the colony is home.
Bed bug treatment
Bed bugs turn up regularly in student houses and after a trip abroad. We inspect the bed, seams and cracks thoroughly and treat the room with heat.
Flea treatment
Is your cat suddenly scratching a lot, and do you have red bites around your ankles? We treat your home for fleas while the vet takes care of your pet.
Cockroach control
Cockroaches in a restaurant kitchen or a shared student kitchen need swift action. We control German cockroaches with gel baits and advise on hygiene and proofing.
Ant control
Ants marching from the garden across the worktop, or pharaoh ants in a heated building: we identify the species and choose the approach that fits.
Woodworm treatment
Historic buildings around the Dom and old furniture are regularly affected by woodworm or house longhorn beetle. We check whether it is active and advise on treating the timber.
Other pests
Silverfish in the bathroom, moths in the wardrobe, spiders, stone martens under the roof or pigeons on the gutter: you can simply call us for those too.

Pest control prices in Utrecht
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
An inspection by Ongediertebestrijding Utrecht costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. That applies in the city centre just as much as in Overvecht or De Meern. Our expert looks at where the pests are, how they get in and what treatment is needed. You then receive clear, practical advice.
We only discuss the price of treatment after the inspection, and it is fixed before we begin. The cost depends on the type of pest, the size of the problem and the number of visits. A wasp nest under the eaves is usually dealt with in one go, while woodworm in a roof structure takes more work.

Pest controllers who know the Dom city
Ongediertebestrijding Utrecht helps tenants, homeowners, VvEs, student houses, restaurants and businesses. We are available 24/7 and come out seven days a week. Our accredited experts are certified and work according to integrated pest management: we inspect first, then remove the cause, and only use targeted products after that.
Utrecht is a city of contrasts. Along the Oudegracht, wharf cellars sit at water level, where it is damp and rats and silverfish feel at home. The historic centre is full of listed buildings with centuries-old beams that are vulnerable to woodworm. Neighbourhoods such as Lombok, Wittevrouwen and Ondiep have terraced houses with crawl spaces, while Leidsche Rijn is mostly new-build, with wasps nesting under the roof tiles. And with so many students, bed bugs and cockroaches sometimes move from room to room.
That is why we tailor every treatment to the building and how it is used. We work quickly, discreetly and at a sharp price, and we never leave without giving you practical advice to stay one step ahead of the problem.

Frequently asked questions
When should I have a wasp nest in Utrecht removed?
As soon as you notice wasps flying in and out of the same spot, especially near a window, door or play area. A nest keeps growing all summer, so acting early is easier. We prefer to treat in the evening, when the wasps are inside. Do not seal the entrance hole yourself.
How much does a visit from a pest controller cost?
The first visit is an inspection for €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. Afterwards you know what is going on. We agree the price of treatment in advance; it depends on the pest, the extent of the problem and the number of visits. Nothing is carried out without your approval.
How quickly can you come, even on a Sunday?
We are available 24/7 and work every day of the week, Saturdays and Sundays included. Give us a call and we will assess together how urgent it is, then schedule an inspection in Utrecht or the surrounding area as soon as possible.
Can my children and pets stay at home safely?
In most cases, yes. We use products in a targeted way and as sparingly as possible, for example in bait boxes that children and animals cannot open. If a room needs to stay closed for a while, we tell you beforehand. Please also let us know if you keep fish, birds or pet rodents.
What can I do while waiting for the inspection?
Note where and when you see the pests and take a photo if you can. Put away food and pet food and keep bins closed. With fleas, vacuum thoroughly, but leave mouse droppings until our expert has seen them. With wasps, stay well away from the nest.
We have a wharf cellar on the Oudegracht. Do you work there too?
Yes. Wharf cellars sit at water level, are often damp and connect to the wharf and old drains. That attracts rats, mice and silverfish. We inspect the walls, doors and pipe entries, treat in a targeted way and advise on sealing and ventilating, including for restaurants in a wharf cellar.
I live in a student house. What do we do about bed bugs or cockroaches?
Tell your housemates and landlord straight away, because these pests spread quickly through shared spaces. We inspect every room and the shared kitchen and treat in a targeted way: bed bugs with heat, cockroaches with gel baits. Afterwards we discuss sensible agreements on cleaning and storing food.

Pest control in Utrecht for homes, VvEs and businesses
Utrecht is growing fast and is also one of the oldest cities in the country. Its mix of a medieval centre, nineteenth-century working-class neighbourhoods, post-war flats and large new-build districts makes it varied, including when it comes to pests. Ongediertebestrijding Utrecht knows those differences and adapts its approach accordingly.
Whether you have wasps under the eaves, mice in the crawl space or woodworm in the roof, our pest control in Utrecht follows a fixed method: inspection first, then prevention and proofing, and a targeted product only where needed. You can find more background on pests from the Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen.
Mouse control in Utrecht
A mouse in the house is usually noticed by what it leaves behind: droppings in the kitchen drawer, nibbled packaging or rustling in the cavity wall when the house is quiet. In the terraced houses of Lombok, Zuilen and Hoograven, mice usually come up from the crawl space, along pipes and through gaps behind the kitchen units. In the new builds of Leidsche Rijn, the culprits are often the openings around outside taps, air vents and cable ducts.
Professional mouse control means more than putting down bait boxes: above all, we find the entry points and seal them. Mice can squeeze through a hole of about 6 mm. Tip: keep the crawl space dry and check that its hatch closes properly.
Rat control in Utrecht
Rats follow water and waste. In Utrecht we see them along the canals, the city moat, the Vecht and the Kromme Rijn, and around restaurants where rubbish is stored. Indoors, large droppings, gnaw marks on woodwork and a musty smell point to rats. They often get in through broken sewer pipes or a loose drain under the floor.
With rat control we look for the route inside. A rat valve in the drain and a camera inspection of the sewer by a specialist are often part of the solution. Report rats in public spaces, such as in a park or along the quay, to the gemeente Utrecht. Avoid throwing bread to the ducks, as rats benefit from it too.
Wasp nest removal in Utrecht
A wasp nest starts in spring as a small ball and has grown considerably by the end of summer. In 1930s homes in Oost and Tuindorp, nests are often in the cavity wall, with an entrance in a mortar joint. In Leidsche Rijn and Vleuten-De Meern, wasps tend to choose the space under the roof tiles or a roller-shutter box. Sheds, bird boxes and garden furniture are used too. On the wharf-side terraces, wasps are regular visitors in August and September.
Ideally we deal with a wasp nest at dusk, once the whole colony has returned. We treat through the entrance hole, even when the nest is in the cavity. Do not spray a can of insecticide into the opening or block it: trapped wasps sometimes chew their way indoors.
Hornet nest removal in Utrecht
Large, dark wasps with yellow legs near your beehive or pond? It could be the Asian hornet, an exotic species now established in the Netherlands. Its large nest usually hangs high in a tree, so it often goes unnoticed for a long time, including in city parks and large gardens. A smaller spring nest is sometimes found under the eaves or in a shed.
Always report an Asian hornet or nest on waarneming.nl. Never try to remove such a nest yourself, as hornets defend it fiercely. We advise you on the next step. The native European hornet is less aggressive, and we leave its nest alone wherever we can.
Bee nest removal in Utrecht
Not every buzzing visitor calls for pest control in Utrecht. In spring, a swarm of honey bees sometimes suddenly appears on a branch or against a wall. It looks impressive, but a swarm is usually calm and often moves on by itself.
Destroying honey bees is not part of our work. We help you work out whether you are dealing with honey bees, mason bees, bumblebees or wasps after all. For a swarm or nest of honey bees, call in a beekeeper who can relocate them. Bumblebees in a bird box or under the shed are best left in peace; after the summer the nest is empty. Keep children and pets at a distance while the bees are there.
Woodworm treatment in Utrecht
In the city centre and neighbourhoods such as Wittevrouwen and Oudwijk, many old buildings have timber joists, floors and roof structures. Small round holes and piles of fine bore dust point to the common furniture beetle; larger, oval holes in softwood suggest the house longhorn beetle. Antique cupboards and chairs from a flea market can also be affected.
We first check whether the infestation is still active. Old exit holes without fresh bore dust sometimes need no treatment at all. If it is active, we advise on treating the timber and dealing with moisture. Keep lofts and crawl spaces dry, as woodworm thrives in damp wood.
Flea treatment in Utrecht
Fleas are tiny, but you notice them quickly: itchy bites on your legs and a cat or dog that keeps scratching. Most fleas found in homes are cat fleas. Their eggs and larvae are not on the animal but in the rug, the pet bed and cracks in the floor.
That is why your pet should first be treated by the vet. We treat the home itself, paying extra attention to the places where your pet likes to lie. Vacuum every day for a while afterwards, including the sofa and the car if the dog travels in it. After moving into a home where pets lived before, fleas may already be present.
Bed bug treatment in Utrecht
With so many students, travellers and a lively trade in second-hand furniture, bed bugs have plenty of opportunities in Utrecht. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, behind picture frames and in sockets. Typical signs are bites in a row and small blood spots on the sheet.
We thoroughly inspect the bedroom and adjoining rooms and treat with heat. In a student house we also check the other rooms. After a trip, wash your clothes at 60 degrees and check a second-hand bed or sofa before you bring it home.
Silverfish control in Utrecht
You mostly see silverfish at night, when you switch on the light in the bathroom or cellar. They feed on starch, paper and skin flakes and love damp surroundings. In Utrecht we often find them in wharf cellars, basements and bathrooms without proper extraction.
Treatment helps, but the real work lies in removing the moisture. Together we look at leaks, sealant joints and ventilation. If your bathroom has no extractor fan, open a window after showering and dry towels outside the bathroom.
Ant control in Utrecht
On sunny days, ants walk straight from the garden or from under the paving into your kitchen. These are usually black garden ants, which leave a scent trail to anything sweet. In new-build neighbourhoods with plenty of paving, the nests are often under the tiles and along the outside wall.
Pharaoh ants are a different story. They live in warm buildings, such as large apartment complexes, and spread through service shafts. They need a specialist approach with bait. With garden ants, it helps to seal gaps along the outside wall and clear away sweet spills and crumbs straight away.
Moth control in Utrecht
Clothes moths cause silent damage: you only discover the holes in a woollen jumper when the season starts. The larvae eat wool, silk, cashmere and fur, especially in wardrobes that are rarely opened. You recognise pantry moths by small moths in the kitchen and webbing in packets of flour, muesli or nuts.
We treat cupboards and cracks and set pheromone traps to see whether the problem is decreasing. You also get advice: store clothes clean in sealed covers, keep supplies in glass jars, and air and vacuum wardrobes regularly.
Cockroach control in Utrecht
Cockroaches are a problem of warm kitchens. In Utrecht they mainly occur in restaurant kitchens, shared student kitchens and larger buildings with lots of pipework. The German cockroach is small and light brown and hides during the day behind appliances, in cupboards and even inside the microwave.
We control cockroaches with gel baits in the right places, followed by a check-up. For restaurants, we adapt the work to the kitchen and its opening hours. Do not leave dishes or food scraps out overnight, and seal gaps around pipes so they have fewer hiding places.
Pigeon control in Utrecht
Pigeons on the windowsill, under the eaves or on the balcony of a flat in Kanaleneiland or Overvecht bring dirt, noise and sometimes other pests, such as bird mites. On shop buildings in the city centre they soil façades and awnings.
We offer tailored pigeon deterrents: spikes on ledges and cornices, netting for balconies and courtyards, and tensioned wire along gutters. On listed buildings we choose an inconspicuous solution that leaves the façade intact. Clear away food scraps and hang feeders for other birds so that pigeons cannot reach them.
Costs of pest control in Utrecht
What you pay for pest control in Utrecht depends on the situation. That is why we always start with an inspection for €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. It tells you which pest you have, how big the problem is and what is causing it.
Based on the inspection, you receive a price for the treatment, which we agree with you in advance. The deciding factors are the type of pest, the extent of the problem and the number of visits. A single wasp nest takes less time than treating woodworm in a roof structure or bed bugs in an entire student house. Ongediertebestrijding Utrecht is sharply priced and honest about what is needed.
