Pest control in Hoofddorp
Hoofddorp is a largely modern, green town with lots of water, offices and hotels. Below is a short summary of what we do about each pest, for households and businesses alike.
Mouse control
After the harvest on the surrounding farmland, wood mice and house mice look for shelter. We find the gaps in walls, crawl space and roof, seal them and deal with the mice that are already inside.
Rat control
Ditches, drainage channels and the Ringvaart also attract brown rats. If one gets indoors, we trace its route, usually via the sewer, and control it with professional products.
Wasp nest removal
A wasp nest behind the eaves board, in an open joint or in the cavity wall of a terraced house? We treat it at dusk, once the colony has returned, so your garden is soon yours again.
Bed bug treatment
Frequent flyers and hotel staff can unknowingly bring bed bugs home. We confirm the infestation, treat with heat and advise you on preventing further spread.
Flea treatment
Fleas in the house? The vet treats your pet and we treat the home, paying extra attention to gaps, rugs, the sofa and the pet's bed, where eggs and larvae hide.
Cockroach control
German cockroaches turn up in commercial kitchens, staff canteens and flats with shared pipework. With gel bait and monitoring we tackle the colony, on a schedule that suits your business.
Ant control
Garden ants marching into the kitchen through the joints, or pharaoh ants in a heated office building: we identify the species and then choose a suitable, targeted approach.
Woodworm treatment
Woodworm is less common in Hoofddorp's newer districts, but it certainly occurs in old farmhouses, barns and antique furniture. We check whether the attack is active and target only the affected wood.
Other pests
You can also call us about silverfish and their grey cousins, moths, spiders, stone martens and pigeons around the station or on your roof. Wherever possible, we focus on proofing.
From your call to a pest-free home
Your phone call
Call us day or night, seven days a week. A short description of the problem is enough; we will schedule a visit.
Inspection at your address
A certified pest controller checks for signs and entry points and finds the source. You pay €90 for this, including call-out fee and VAT.
Treatment and proofing
Once you have agreed to the price, we get to work with targeted control and by closing off the openings pests use.
Tips against recurrence
Finally you receive tailored advice for your home or premises. Where needed, a follow-up visit checks the result.
Pest control prices in Hoofddorp
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
Ongediertebestrijding Hoofddorp charges €90 for an inspection, with call-out fee and VAT included. This amount applies in Hoofddorp and in the surrounding villages of Haarlemmermeer, such as Nieuw-Vennep and Badhoevedorp. During the inspection a qualified expert establishes which pest you are dealing with and where it is coming from.
Based on those findings, we agree the treatment price with you before we start. How high it is depends on the species, how far the infestation has spread and how many visits are needed. Mice in a terraced house call for a different approach from bed bugs in a hotel room. It is up to you whether we proceed.

Pest control in Hoofddorp and Haarlemmermeer
Ongediertebestrijding Hoofddorp serves households, owners' associations (VvE), restaurants, hotels and businesses in Hoofddorp, the main town of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Our certified experts follow integrated pest management (IPM): inspect first, then proofing and prevention, and targeted control only where necessary.
Hoofddorp sits in the middle of a polder that was drained in the mid-nineteenth century. Around the town lie farmland, ditches and the Ringvaart, and in autumn mice move from the fields into the residential areas. Most of Hoofddorp is relatively young: districts such as Overbos, Toolenburg and Floriande consist of terraced houses and flats with crawl spaces, cavity walls and plenty of greenery and water. Around Schiphol and Beukenhorst there are offices and hotels with travellers coming and going every day, and that shows in bed bug call-outs.
We know this area and take it into account. A family home on the water in Floriande needs a different approach from a hotel room or a commercial kitchen on a business park. We work discreetly, agree a price in advance and give you advice to prevent the problem from recurring.
Service area: all of Hoofddorp and the surrounding area
Hoofddorp has over 75,000 (Hoofddorp town) residents; our pest controllers cover every district and the surrounding towns.
Also in the region: Nieuw-Vennep, Badhoevedorp, Zwanenburg, Cruquius, Vijfhuizen, Rijsenhout, Haarlem, Aalsmeer

Frequently asked questions
What will I pay if you come out to me in Hoofddorp?
Your first outlay is the inspection: €90 including call-out fee and VAT. On that visit we identify the pest and gauge the scale of the problem. You then receive a quote for the treatment before anything happens. That quote is determined by the species, how widespread it is and how often we need to come back.
Do you also come on Saturdays, Sundays or in the evening?
Yes. Our phone is answered around the clock and we go out seven days a week. Many people in Hoofddorp have busy working days or travel a lot, so a weekend or early-evening appointment is no problem. We actually prefer to treat wasp nests in the evening.
My children and cat are at home. Is that a problem?
No, we take that into account. We start with proofing, traps and other methods that use no products at all. If bait is needed, we use lockable bait boxes that small hands and paws cannot get into. For flea or bed bug treatments we tell you beforehand whether, and for how long, you should avoid a room.
Why do we suddenly have mice in the house in autumn?
Hoofddorp is surrounded by farmland. After the harvest and with the first cold nights, wood mice and house mice lose their food and cover outdoors and seek warmth in crawl spaces, cavity walls and sheds. They squeeze in through openings of around 6 mm. We seal those entry points and deal with the mice already inside.
Do you work for hotels, offices and businesses around Schiphol?
Certainly. We help hotels, short-stay providers, offices, staff restaurants and shops in Hoofddorp and the rest of Haarlemmermeer. We work discreetly, time our visits around your operations and give advice afterwards to prevent new problems, for example with bed bugs in hotel rooms or mice in an office building.
We have just returned from a trip and have itchy bites. Are they bed bugs?
It is possible, especially if the bites are in a row and you see blood spots or black dots on the mattress. Do not unpack your suitcase in the bedroom, wash your clothes at a high temperature and get in touch with us. When an infestation is caught early, treating it is simpler.
How do I know whether wasps are nesting inside my cavity wall?
Watch the outside wall for a few minutes on a sunny day. If wasps keep coming and going at one particular open joint or crack, the nest is behind it. Sometimes you can also hear a rustling inside the wall. Do not seal the opening, as the wasps may then look for a way into the house. Call us to have it treated.
What can I do while waiting for the pest controller?
Put food, pet food and rubbish away in sealed tubs or bins, and leave signs such as droppings or gnaw damage in place so we can assess them. Stay away from wasp and hornet nests. If you suspect bed bugs, keep belongings where they are rather than moving them to other rooms. A few photos of what you have seen help us gauge the situation quickly.

Pest control in Hoofddorp: help across the polder
Within a few decades Hoofddorp has grown from a polder village into the largest town in Haarlemmermeer, with new residential districts, business parks and hotels a stone's throw from Schiphol. That mix of polder, water and bustle brings its own pests: mice from the fields, wasps in the young terraced houses and bed bugs arriving with travellers. Ongediertebestrijding Hoofddorp offers pest control in Hoofddorp to private clients and businesses, seven days a week.
Every job starts with an inspection by a certified exterminator. We find the cause, seal entry points where we can and use targeted control where we must. That keeps pest control in Hoofddorp free of unnecessary products, with a clear agreement made in advance.
Mouse control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Droppings the size of a grain of rice in the kitchen cupboard, gnaw marks on packaging or rustling in the crawl space and behind the fitted kitchen. Cause. Hoofddorp borders extensive farmland. After the harvest and with the first cold nights, wood mice and house mice look for warm quarters, and the new-build homes in Floriande, Toolenburg and Overbos are no exception. Air vents, pipe openings and open vertical joints in the brickwork are favourite entrances; a gap of around 6 mm is enough.
Our approach. Mouse control starts with sealing the entry points using mesh, wire wool or sealant. We then place traps or locked bait stations along the runs. Prevention. Do not leave birdseed or cat food outside, clear up fallen fruit and check the vents of your crawl space every autumn.
Rat control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Rats are larger and shyer than mice, so you are more likely to see their traces: burrows in a verge or under the patio, large droppings, worn runs along a fence or gnawing on a wheelie bin. Cause. The many ditches and drainage channels in and around Hoofddorp offer water and cover, while chicken coops, compost heaps and bird food provide meals. Indoors, they usually enter via a broken sewer pipe.
Our approach. Rat control with professional rodenticides is carried out using locked stations; these products are reserved for certified professionals. We can recommend fitting a rat valve and, where a leak is suspected, on a CCTV survey of the drains by a specialist. If the rats are in a public space, report it to the gemeente Haarlemmermeer. Prevention. Keep the wheelie bin closed and feed birds in moderation.
Wasp nest removal in Hoofddorp
Signs. If on a summer's day you see a steady stream of wasps at a gap beneath the tiles, behind the eaves board or at an open vertical joint, there is a wasp nest there. Sheds, bird boxes and roller-shutter housings are popular spots too. Cause. Hoofddorp has many gardens and green verges, with the Haarlemmermeerse Bos close by, and the terraced houses offer plenty of cavities to build in.
Our approach. We prefer to treat in the evening, when the wasps are in the nest. A suitable product goes straight into the entrance, after which activity soon dies down. For a large or high wasp nest we bring the right equipment. Prevention. Only seal the opening once no more wasps are flying, and check your roof edge in spring for nests in their early stages.
Bed bug treatment in Hoofddorp
Signs. Itchy bumps in a row, often on the arms, neck or legs, rust-coloured specks on the fitted sheet and dark marks along the mattress edge. Cause. Hoofddorp is right next to Schiphol. Many residents travel for work or holidays, and hotels, offices and short-stay apartments welcome guests from all over the world every day. Bed bugs travel unnoticed in suitcases, clothing and second-hand furniture.
Our approach. We check the bed frame, mattress, bedside table and the rooms around them and usually opt for heat treatment, with a product applied to cracks and seams where needed. For hotels and landlords we work discreetly, to a schedule that disturbs guests as little as possible. Prevention. In a hotel, put your suitcase on the luggage rack rather than the bed, and wash travel clothes at a high temperature when you get home.
Flea treatment in Hoofddorp
Signs. Small, jumping black specks in the carpet, bites around the ankles and calves and a pet that scratches a lot. Cause. Fleas are usually brought in by a dog or cat. Adult fleas live on the animal, but eggs, larvae and pupae are found in the pet's bed, the sofa and the gaps in the floor, where the infestation quietly keeps growing.
Our approach. Your vet treats your pet while we treat the house, paying particular attention to where the animal sleeps. Prevention. Vacuum daily for the weeks after the treatment, empty the vacuum cleaner outdoors and keep your pet's flea treatment up to date all year round.
Cockroach control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Small brown insects that scuttle off when you switch on the light at night, black specks in cupboards and a musty smell. Cause. The German cockroach loves warmth and moisture. It arrives in boxes, crates and deliveries and settles in commercial kitchens, staff restaurants on business parks such as Beukenhorst and flats with shared service shafts.
Our approach. We place gel bait in the hiding places and use monitors to check that the population is declining. For hospitality and businesses we schedule the work around your opening hours and hygiene inspections. Prevention. Check incoming deliveries, never leave food scraps out and seal gaps around pipes and skirting.
Ant control in Hoofddorp
Signs. A trail of ants across the worktop or along the skirting, or little sand heaps between the patio slabs. Cause. Garden ants like nesting under paving and in cavity walls and come indoors in spring for sweet scraps. Pharaoh ants are a different matter: these small, yellowish-brown ants inhabit heated buildings like offices, care homes and apartment complexes.
Our approach. First we determine which ant it is. Garden ants are controlled with bait on their route and by sealing entry points; pharaoh ants need a specialist approach without spraying, because otherwise the colony splits. Prevention. Clean up sweet spills immediately, keep food sealed and point any open joints in the brickwork.
Woodworm treatment in Hoofddorp
Signs. Small round holes in timber, with fine bore dust lying on the floor beneath. Larger oval holes may point to the house longhorn beetle. Cause. We see little woodworm in Hoofddorp's newer districts, but it does occur in the older centre, in farmhouses and barns dating from the polder's pioneering years and in antique furniture. Damp, untreated wood is particularly vulnerable.
Our approach. During the inspection we check whether the attack is still active. Only then do we treat, focusing on the affected parts. A second-hand piece of furniture with holes is best treated separately before it comes into the house. Prevention. Keep the loft and crawl space dry and check old furniture before bringing it indoors.
Silverfish control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Fast, silvery insects in the bathroom, kitchen or meter cupboard, mainly at night. Cause. Silverfish need moisture. In the polder the water table is high and a crawl space can be damp, and a poorly ventilated bathroom does the rest. In newer homes we also see grey silverfish, which need less moisture and spread via building materials and cardboard boxes.
Our approach. We track down the source of damp, advise on ventilation and seal joints. Where needed we treat the hiding places; for grey silverfish we work with bait. Prevention. Ventilate every day, do not leave wet towels lying around and avoid storing cardboard boxes in damp areas.
Moth control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Small moths in the wardrobe, holes in woollen clothing or webbing in flour, grains and nuts. Cause. Clothes moths feed on wool, silk and fur in dark, undisturbed wardrobes. Pantry moths come in with an infested packet from the shop and spread through the food cupboard. In staff canteens and company restaurants they can also settle into larger stocks.
Our approach. We find the source, tell you which items to discard and which can be washed or frozen, and set out pheromone traps. Persistent clothes moths get a targeted treatment of wardrobes and the clothing inside. Prevention. Store woollens clean and in sealed bags, and use up food stocks in the order you bought them.
Hornet nest removal in Hoofddorp
Signs. The Asian hornet, a non-native species, has a dark thorax, a yellow-orange stripe across the abdomen and legs that turn yellow towards the ends. It preys on honey bees and other insects. Where. In spring the queen builds a small nest, for example in a summer house, under a carport or beneath the eaves. In summer the colony often moves to a large, ball-shaped nest up in the canopy, such as in the Haarlemmermeerse Bos or in the rows of trees along the canals.
Our approach. Spotted an Asian hornet or a suspicious nest? Please report it via waarneming.nl. Never try to remove the nest yourself: we neutralise and take it down with equipment suited to working at considerable height.
Bee nest removal in Hoofddorp
Signs. Honey bees are brown and hairy, and in spring they sometimes form a swarm on a branch, fence or wall. Bumblebees are bigger and stockier, and black and yellow or brown in colour. Important. Bees and bumblebees are essential pollinators, including for the flowering fields and gardens of the polder. They are not exterminated.
Our approach. A swarm of honey bees is best collected and relocated by a beekeeper, and we can advise you on this. A bumblebee nest is best left in place, as the colony dies off naturally after the summer. Not sure whether you are dealing with bees or wasps? Call us for advice. Tip. Keep your distance and close windows near the swarm.
Pigeon control in Hoofddorp
Signs. Droppings on balconies, window sills and parked cars, feathers in the gutter and nests under solar panels. Cause. Around the station, on office buildings and on apartment blocks, feral pigeons find ledges and sheltered corners to breed. Once they have nested somewhere, they keep coming back.
Our approach. Pigeon proofing makes breeding spots inaccessible. We fit spikes, netting, tensioned wire or mesh around solar panels, matched to the building and as unobtrusive as possible. First we remove nests and fouling. Prevention. Do not feed pigeons and keep balconies and roof terraces free of food scraps.
