Pest control in The Hague
Sand underfoot, sea air and plenty of older buildings: The Hague has its own pest profile. These are the problems we deal with most often across the city.
Mouse control
Townhouses in The Hague have hollow walls, old floors and countless pipe openings – motorways for mice. We map their routes, put bait where only mice can reach it and seal gaps down to about 6 mm.
Rat control
Rats by the bins, under the decking or in the crawl space? There is usually a leak in the sewer. We deal with the rats and advise on a rat flap and a camera survey of the pipe.
Wasp nest removal
Cavity walls, roof tiles, garden sheds and, near the dunes, even the ground: wasps in The Hague are not fussy. We prefer to come towards evening, when the colony is home, and treat through the entry hole.
Bed bug treatment
Diplomats, expats, tourists: The Hague welcomes the world, and bed bugs happily hitch a ride in luggage and second-hand furniture. We tackle them with heat and tell you in advance exactly what to prepare.
Flea treatment
Fleas almost always come in on a dog or cat. The animal goes to the vet, the house is our job. Vacuum thoroughly beforehand and keep it up in the weeks that follow.
Cockroach control
From a restaurant on the Plein to a flat in Laak: wherever it is warm and humid, the German cockroach can appear. We put gel bait right into its hiding places and point out gaps that need sealing.
Ant control
The ground in The Hague is sand, and sand is ideal for ant nests under paving and patios. Ordinary ants we treat at the nest; pharaoh ants in heated buildings need a specialist approach.
Woodworm treatment
Joists and floors in nineteenth-century buildings can hide woodworm or longhorn beetle. We check whether there is still life in the timber and advise on a suitable treatment.
Other pests
Silverfish in the bathroom, moths in the linen cupboard, spiders, a stone marten under the roof tiles or pigeons on the balcony: we handle those too. First we look, then we choose the right method.
From your call to a pest-free home
Give us a call
Tell us on the phone what you see, hear or smell, any day of the week. A few questions help us prepare and pick a moment that suits you.
Inspection at your property
For €90 incl. call-out fee and VAT, our pest controller maps the infestation, its cause and the weak spots in your home.
Treat and seal
If you agree to the price, we tackle the pests directly and close holes and gaps, so they do not simply return.
Aftercare and tips
We show you which gap, vent or bin area caused the problem and what to do about it. If a second visit is needed, you hear so in advance.
Pest control prices in The Hague
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
No loose ends: an inspection in The Hague costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. A certified pest controller visits, establishes which animal is involved, works out how it gets in and goes through the options with you, on Saturdays and Sundays too. No unexpected costs are added afterwards.
You hear what the treatment costs after the inspection and before we start. Three things determine the amount: which pest it is, how far the infestation has spread and how often we need to return. One wasp nest under the eaves is simply a smaller job than a stubborn mouse problem in a block of flats. Whether to go ahead is entirely your call.

Your local pest controller in The Hague and Scheveningen
Ongediertebestrijding Den Haag answers the phone 24/7 and drives across the city every day of the week, from Kijkduin to Leidschenveen. Our people are certified and work with integrated pest management. In practice: we first find out why the animal is there, then close off its way in, and only then step in with targeted control. We use professional products only when they are really needed.
The Hague is a city of contrasts, and its pests reflect that. In the grand townhouses of the Statenkwartier and Duinoord, mice hide behind wooden panelling and under old floors. The tightly packed nineteenth-century streets of the Schilderswijk and Transvaal give rodents plenty of routes between homes. Around the Scheveningen seafront, restaurants and litter attract rats, while the sandy soil near the dunes suits ants and ground-nesting wasps.
We work discreetly and explain in plain language what we are doing. After treatment you hear how to avoid the next infestation, from sealing a gap to moving the wheelie bin. That pays off not only today but next season as well.

Frequently asked questions
What will I pay for pest control in The Hague?
You pay €90 for the inspection, including the call-out fee and VAT. During that visit we identify the pest and the scale of the problem. We then name the treatment price, and we only get to work once you say yes.
How quickly can you remove a wasp nest in The Hague?
We can usually come at short notice, weekends included. We like to treat the nest in the evening, when nearly all the wasps are home and the product works best. If the nest is in a cavity wall or under roof tiles, we reach it through the entry hole. Until then, keep the windows on that side closed and avoid walking right past the opening.
Do you come out on Saturdays and Sundays?
Certainly. The phone is answered day and night and we work all seven days, Monday to Sunday. A wasp nest beside the front door or a rat in the kitchen cannot wait until Monday, so we find the first moment that suits you.
How safe is it for the children and the cat?
For us prevention comes before control, so often little product is needed. What we do use sits in sealed bait boxes or in places toddlers and pets cannot reach. You hear in advance whether to keep a room shut for a while or have the cat stay somewhere else temporarily.
Should I prepare anything for the inspection?
Not much, but a few things help. Put pet food away, tie rubbish bags shut and write down where and when you see the pests. Leave a wasp nest alone: spraying only makes the wasps angrier. With bed bugs, avoid carrying anything from the bedroom to the rest of the house.
We live near the dunes in Scheveningen. Are we more likely to get pests?
Close to the dunes and beach you will see more ants in the sandy soil, ground-nesting wasps and, in summer, more activity around bins and terraces. Mice also move from green areas into homes in autumn. Good proofing and sealed bins help a lot, and we are happy to check your home's weak spots.
Who do I report rats in the street or by the water to?
If the rats are on the pavement, in a park or along a canal, that is public space and you report it to the gemeente Den Haag. If they are on your own property – garden, shed, crawl space – we come out. A damaged sewer pipe often turns out to be the cause; we then advise on a rat flap and a camera inspection by a drainage specialist.
Why do I get ants in the house every spring?
Many homes in The Hague stand on sandy soil, where ants easily build nests under paving and against the façade. In spring they forage for food and come in through gaps. We treat the nest and their trails directly. It also helps to keep sweet food sealed and fill open joints along the outside wall.

Pest control in The Hague: from the dunes to the city centre
Live in The Hague long enough and you will meet a pest problem sooner or later. The city sits between sea, dunes and polder, with dense nineteenth-century districts, stately townhouses and large post-war estates, and every type of home has its own weak spots. Ongediertebestrijding Den Haag provides pest control in The Hague seven days a week for mice, rats, wasps and every other pest.
Our method never changes: we look first, then remove the cause, and only then move on to targeted treatment. That tackles the problem at the root rather than just the animals you can see. If you want to read up on pest species, the Dutch Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen publishes reliable information.
Mouse control in The Hague
Gnawed packaging, small black droppings in the kitchen cupboards and scratching behind the skirting boards at night: that is how mice announce themselves. In older buildings in Duinoord or the Regentessekwartier, they travel through voids behind panelling and along pipes from one home to the next. They can squeeze through a slit of about 6 mm. Our mouse control starts by mapping how they move and where they get in. We then set out professional products in sealed bait boxes and close the gaps with material they cannot gnaw through. Tip: keep food and bird seed in lidded containers, especially in autumn, when mice move indoors from gardens and parks.
Rat control in The Hague
Rats are seen less often than mice, but the signs are unmistakable: larger droppings, runs along walls, burrows under paving and gnaw holes in shed doors. In The Hague we often find them around bins in shared courtyards, at allotments and under the floors of older houses. If they come in via the sewer, there is usually a damaged or open pipe. That is why our rat control goes further than bait alone: we look for the leak and advise on a rat flap, and where needed you can have a drainage specialist check the pipe with a camera. Rats in the street or a park are a matter for the gemeente Den Haag. Prevention tip: never leave rubbish bags outside and do not feed birds on the ground.
Wasp nest removal in The Hague
If you keep seeing wasps fly in and out at the same spot in summer, there is almost certainly a wasp nest. In The Hague we often find them in the cavity walls of terraced houses, under roof tiles, behind fascia boards and in garden sheds. In sandy gardens near the dunes they sometimes nest underground. For a wasp nest we prefer to wait until dusk, when almost the whole colony is home, and through the entry hole we can reach even a nest deep inside a wall. Smearing the hole shut or emptying a can of insect spray into it is a bad idea: the wasps get agitated and sometimes chew their way indoors.
Bed bug treatment in The Hague
Tiny blood spots on the sheets, itchy bites in a row and black specks along the edge of the mattress: often that means bed bugs. They move house in suitcases, backpacks and second-hand furniture. In an international city with many hotels, short-stay apartments and frequent moves, we come across them regularly in The Hague. By day they hide in bed frames, behind skirting boards and in plug sockets, so a thorough inspection is essential. We heat the affected room until the bugs and their eggs cannot survive, and you receive a list in advance of what to prepare. Tip: after a hotel stay, unpack in the bathroom or hallway rather than on the bed, and wash the clothes hot.
Ant control in The Hague
Much of The Hague is built on sand, and the ants know it. They nest under paving, patios and against foundations, and in spring they find their way into the kitchen through gaps. A trail of ants across the worktop is annoying but usually harmless. Pharaoh ants are another matter: small, yellowish ants that spread through heated buildings such as flats and care homes via service ducts. They need a specialist approach, because ordinary spray makes things worse. So we first check which ant you have and only then choose the product. Tip: fill open joints along the façade and keep sweet food sealed.
Cockroach control in The Hague
Small, light brown, fast and fond of warmth: that is the German cockroach. It hides behind fridges and dishwashers and inside the motor housing of appliances. In The Hague we find it in restaurant kitchens, in large blocks of flats where service shafts connect the homes and sometimes in office kitchens. Cockroaches are nocturnal, so if you see them during the day the population is often already large. We put gel bait right into their hiding places and go through with you which joints and gaps need sealing. Restaurants that need pest control in The Hague can count on a visit planned around their opening hours. Tip: never leave dirty dishes or open food out overnight.
Flea treatment in The Hague
Bites around the ankles and a dog or cat that keeps scratching: chances are there are fleas in the house. The adult fleas on the animal are only a small part of the problem. Eggs and larvae live in rugs, gaps between floorboards and the pet's basket. The old wooden floors in many upstairs flats in The Hague offer plenty of hiding places. The animal goes to the vet, the house is our job. Vacuuming thoroughly beforehand, including under furniture, and throwing the bag away straight after makes the treatment more effective. Keep vacuuming regularly in the weeks that follow.
Woodworm treatment in The Hague
Round holes of one to two millimetres and little piles of fine bore dust under a beam or cupboard: that is woodworm. The beetle larvae live in the wood for years before emerging. The larger house longhorn beetle leaves oval holes and can seriously weaken structural timber. In The Hague we find woodworm in the roof structures and floor joists of old townhouses, in antique furniture and in wooden sheds. We first establish whether the infestation is still active, because a beam full of old holes may have been empty for decades. We then advise on treatment. Tip: keep the loft and crawl space dry and well ventilated.
Silverfish control in The Hague
At night, small shiny insects dart across the bathroom floor and vanish as soon as the light goes on: silverfish. They are not harmful to your health, but they are a signal that there is too much moisture in the house. We often see them in older homes in The Hague with poorly ventilated bathrooms and damp basements. Treatment only makes sense if you also tackle the source of the damp. We treat the hiding places and point out leaking sealant, an unventilated crawl space or a bathroom without an extractor fan. Tip: open a window or switch on the fan after showering, and do not leave wet towels on the floor.
Moth control in The Hague
In homes in The Hague, two moths play the leading role. Clothes moths eat holes in wool, silk and cashmere, especially in dark wardrobes that are rarely opened. Pantry moths live in flour, rice, nuts and pet food and leave webbing inside the packaging. We identify which moth you have and find the source. With pheromone traps we measure the size of the problem; they lure and catch the males. For a serious infestation we treat cupboards and cracks. Tip: store woollens clean in sealed garment bags and keep dry goods in jars with lids.
Hornet nest removal in The Hague
The Asian hornet, an invasive species that hunts honey bees, is turning up more and more often in the Netherlands. You recognise it by its size, bigger than a wasp, its almost black body with a single orange ring and its yellow-tipped legs. The large, round nest usually hangs high in a tree and often only becomes visible when the leaves fall in autumn. In the greenery of the Haagse Bos, Clingendael and the many avenues of tall trees, it pays to look up. Never remove a hornet nest yourself. Report a sighting on waarneming.nl and call us to remove it. We have the protection and equipment to reach even nests high in the crown safely.
Bee nest removal in The Hague
Buzzing does not automatically mean exterminating. Honey bees are valuable and are not destroyed: a swarm on a branch or a colony in a chimney is best collected by a beekeeper. Bumblebees in the garden or under the shed are best left in peace; after one summer such a nest empties by itself. Not sure whether you are dealing with bees, bumblebees or wasps? We will come and look, tell you which insect it is and recommend the best solution. Tip: take a photo of the insects at the entrance, which makes identification easier.
Pigeon control in The Hague
Pigeons on the gutter, the balcony or a shop front cause mess, noise and blocked gutters. Their droppings also damage stone and metal. We see this often in The Hague's city centre, around shopping streets and on the balconies of tall blocks of flats. With pigeon control we make it impossible for the birds to land or nest. Depending on the spot, we fit spikes on ledges, a net across the balcony or recess, or taut wire along roof edges. That keeps the pigeons away without harming them. Tip: do not feed pigeons and never leave food scraps on the balcony.
What does pest control in The Hague cost?
Every job of pest control in The Hague starts with an inspection by Ongediertebestrijding Den Haag. It costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. During that visit we establish which pest you are dealing with, how it gets in and which approach works best.
Only then do we name a price for the treatment, and it is fixed before we start. Whether it is a small or a large job depends mainly on the species, the extent of the infestation and the number of visits. A wasp nest is often dealt with in one go, whereas mice or cockroaches sometimes need a follow-up. You hear it in advance, so the decision is yours.
