Brown rat
Lives in sewers, crawl spaces and outdoor areas. Digs, gnaws and moves along fixed routes.
Rodents
Brown rats and house mice seek warmth, food and nesting sites in commercial buildings. One sighting does not establish the population size; check for additional signs and entry routes.

Species within rodents
Identification and approach per species.
Black rat
An excellent climber that nests high up: roof structures, suspended ceilings and pipe shafts.
House mouse
Small populations grow quickly. Nests in wall cavities, equipment and storage cabinets.
Our approach
- Inspection of crawl space, sewers, pipe penetrations and facade
- Bait-free approach (IPM) where possible — in line with Dutch legislation
- Sealing entry routes and proofing the building shell
- Periodic checks with a digital logbook per location
Risk
Damage to cabling, stock and reputation. Rodents carry pathogens such as salmonella and leptospirosis.
