Pest control in Amersfoort
Amersfoort combines a medieval centre with wooded villa districts and brand-new neighbourhoods. Each setting has its own pests. Here is what we do about them.
Mouse control
In the old terraced buildings of the town centre, mice move from house to house. In Kattenbroek or Nieuwland they more often get in through the crawl space. We close off the entry points and treat precisely.
Rat control
Brown rats along the Eem, around the bins behind a restaurant or in a Vathorst back garden? We trace their route, often via the sewer, and advise on a sewer flap and proofing.
Wasp nest removal
In Amersfoort wasps tend to choose the cavity wall of a family home or the space under the roof tiles. The nest is treated in the evening, with the workers inside, and we explain how to avoid another.
Bed bug treatment
Bed bugs travel home from hotels and holiday lets or arrive with second-hand furniture. We establish how far they have spread and carry out a heat treatment, with a clear step-by-step plan for you.
Flea treatment
Is your cat or dog scratching more than usual? Step one is a visit to the vet. Meanwhile we treat the house, so the eggs and larvae in rugs and crevices are eliminated too.
Cockroach control
Restaurants and bars around the Hof and the Lieve Vrouwekerkhof benefit from fast action against German cockroaches. We use gel bait, outside opening hours if that suits better, and follow up afterwards.
Ant control
Whether it is garden ants from outside or pharaoh ants in a heated complex, we identify the species first. Then we choose bait or a nest treatment that fits the situation.
Woodworm treatment
The Muurhuizen, the canal-side buildings and the villas of the Bergkwartier contain a lot of old timber. We recognise woodworm and house longhorn beetle, check whether they are active and treat affected wood.
Other pests
You can also call on us for pigeons on old town roofs, stone martens, silverfish, clothes and pantry moths and spiders. We tell you honestly what makes sense and what does not.

Pest control prices in Amersfoort
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
With us, you know the first cost before we ring the doorbell. The inspection costs €90 and that price includes the call-out fee and VAT, whether you live in the old town, in Hoogland or in Vathorst. We take the time to find the source of the problem and explain what we see.
Based on the inspection we put together a treatment proposal, at a price we agree with you beforehand. That price varies from case to case: the kind of pest, how widespread it is and how many visits it takes together determine what is needed. Bed bugs in several rooms take more work than one wasp nest. You decide whether we go ahead.

Ongediertebestrijding Amersfoort – skilled work in Keistad
Ongediertebestrijding Amersfoort helps residents, owners' associations, restaurants and businesses across Amersfoort, including Hoogland and Hooglanderveen. Our phone is answered 24/7 and our team is out every day of the week. Our certified experts explain what they find and give advice you will still benefit from long after the treatment.
Amersfoort has a remarkably varied mix of buildings. In the medieval town centre stand the Muurhuizen, built where the first town wall once ran, with centuries-old beams that woodworm can get into. The Bergkwartier sits on the wooded Amersfoortse Berg, where villas stand beneath tall trees and wasps and mice find plenty of shelter. In younger districts such as Kattenbroek, Nieuwland and Vathorst, the issue is more often wasps in cavity walls and mice coming in from the surrounding green spaces.
We use integrated pest management. We start with an inspection, then close off the access routes, and only then intervene in a targeted way. That keeps the use of products to a minimum and makes the result last longer. We work discreetly, including in business premises and restaurants.

Frequently asked questions
How much will I pay for pest control in Amersfoort?
The first step is always an inspection. It costs €90 and covers both the call-out fee and VAT. You then receive a treatment proposal with a fixed price. How much that is depends on the pest, the size of the infestation and the number of return visits. You decide for yourself whether we continue.
Can you come on a Saturday or Sunday?
Yes, that's no problem. The phone is answered around the clock and we work every day, weekends included. With wasps or rats in particular, you don't want to wait until Monday. We agree on a time that works for you, in town or out in Hoogland and Hooglanderveen.
How safe is the treatment for my family and pets?
Safety is part of every decision we make. We use bait in lockable stations and gels in gaps nobody can reach, and we only treat the spots that need it. If a room needs to be vacated or aired, we tell you beforehand. Do tell us which pets you have.
What can I do while I wait for the inspection?
Don't clear up droppings or gnaw marks straight away, as they help our investigation. Seal food properly and take rubbish out daily. With bed bugs, don't move bedding or clothes to other rooms. With wasps, keep windows near the nest shut and stay out of the flight path.
I live in an old building in the town centre. Can mice get in via the neighbours?
Definitely. In the terraced buildings around the Langestraat and in the Muurhuizen, joists, crawl spaces and pipes often run continuously from one house to the next. Mice love those routes. We find the entry points in your home and sometimes advise involving the neighbours, so the whole row is dealt with.
Can I remove a wasp nest in a cavity wall myself?
We advise against it. The nest sits behind the brickwork and can't be reached without disturbing the wasps. If you tape or seal the entrance hole, they will look for a way out indoors, for example through a plug socket or ceiling light. We treat the nest through the opening in the brickwork joint, at the end of the day.
How can I be sure I have bed bugs?
Look for tiny dark specks in the corners of the mattress or bed frame, empty shed skins and a sweetish, musty smell in the bedroom. The insects themselves are visible too: flat, reddish-brown and roughly the size of an apple pip. Still unsure? We will confirm it with certainty during the inspection.

Pest control in Amersfoort: from the old town to Vathorst
Keistad, as Amersfoort is also known, has a solid historic core and districts that keep growing further into the countryside. You see that contrast reflected in its pests. In the town centre it is often mice and woodworm in old buildings; in the newer districts, wasps in the cavity wall. Ongediertebestrijding Amersfoort knows both situations and provides pest control in Amersfoort with a clear, step-by-step approach.
Anyone looking for pest control Amersfoort-wide gets an inspection from us first: where are the animals, how are they getting in and what is attracting them? Only after that comes the treatment, 7 days a week.
Mouse control in Amersfoort
Tiny black droppings in the cutlery drawer. Gnaw marks on a bag of rice. Pattering above the ceiling at night. House mice are quick and curious, and they squeeze through holes of about 6 mm. In the old, terraced buildings of the town centre and the Muurhuizen, they travel via joists and crawl spaces from house to house. In Schothorst, Kattenbroek and Nieuwland they more often get in through the crawl space, open weep joints or poorly sealed pipe entries. Our mouse control tackles those routes first with gnaw-proof material. We then place traps or locked bait stations; professional rodenticides remain the preserve of certified pest controllers. More background is available from the Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen. What helps: don't leave animal feed or bird seed open in the shed.
Rat control in Amersfoort
Along the Eem, the canals and the water features of Vathorst, brown rats live close to people. Once they reach your garden or home, you will see tunnels dug under the patio, droppings the size of an olive stone and holes chewed in rubbish bags. The sewer is often the way in: a broken house connection or a loose pipe under the floor. Our rat control therefore focuses on the source. We recommend having a drainage company carry out a camera survey of the pipes and fitting a rat flap (rattenklep). If you see rats in public green space or by the neighbourhood waste containers, report it to the gemeente Amersfoort. Only put rubbish out on collection day and use a closed compost bin.
Wasp nest removal in Amersfoort
From June onwards, it's wasp season. Wasps fly in and out of an open joint in the brickwork, disappear under a roof tile or buzz around the ridge of a shed. In the family homes of Kattenbroek, Zielhorst and Rustenburg the wasp nest is often in the cavity wall; in Vathorst it is under the tiles of new-build roofs, and in the Bergkwartier in old trees, bird boxes or timber outbuildings. By late summer the colony is large and the wasps turn pushy. We treat once the light starts to fade and the workers are inside, applying the product into the nest opening, after which things calm down quickly. Never block the hole or spray an aerosol into it, or the wasps may come indoors or attack. What helps: check your eaves and shed in spring for a starter wasp nest about the size of a golf ball.
Bed bug treatment in Amersfoort
A weekend away, a lovely hotel, and a week later itchy bumps. Bed bugs travel unnoticed in suitcases, clothing and second-hand furniture, and owners of B&Bs and holiday lets in and around Amersfoort can run into them too. By day they hide in the seams of the mattress and bed frame, behind skirting boards and behind picture frames. Dark specks and shed skins near the bed are typical signs. We first map out which rooms are affected. We then carry out a heat treatment, combined if needed with a product in seams and cracks, and you receive a step-by-step plan for laundry and wardrobes. What helps: put your suitcase in the bathroom after a trip, wash clothes on a hot cycle and check used furniture before you bring it inside.
Flea treatment in Amersfoort
Fleas are small but stubborn. Most cases start with a cat that goes outdoors or a dog that has been walking in the woods of the Amersfoortse Berg or around Birkhoven. In the coat you may see black grains of flea dirt; indoors, fleas mainly bite around the ankles and lower legs. Eggs, larvae and pupae sit deep in carpets, sofa seams and the pet bed. We treat the home thoroughly while the vet treats the animal. That combination is essential, otherwise the cycle simply starts again. What helps: vacuum daily after the treatment, including the car if the dog travels in it, and wash blankets at a high temperature.
Cockroach control in Amersfoort
The terraces on the Hof and the Lieve Vrouwekerkhof are a pleasure, but in the kitchen behind them the German cockroach can become a serious problem. They also occur in apartments with shared service ducts and in staff canteens. By day cockroaches hide in warm gaps around ovens, fridges and dishwashers, leaving a musty smell and small droppings behind. Because they breed fast, early action matters. We work with gel bait and, where necessary, bait boxes, and schedule a follow-up check. In restaurants and cafés we prefer to come when the kitchen is closed. What helps: clean up every day, keep the space behind appliances clean and seal joints with sealant.
Ant control in Amersfoort
Ants indoors are a familiar sight in spring and summer. Usually it is the black garden ant, which comes in from outside and follows a scent trail to sugar, jam or cat food. The nest is then under the patio tiles or against the foundations. Pharaoh ants are in a category of their own: they live in heated buildings and spread through entire blocks of flats via the pipework. That calls for a specialist bait-based approach, because spraying makes things worse. We identify the species and choose a treatment that reaches the nest rather than just the ants you can see. What helps: keep sweet things sealed and wipe away the scent trail with soapy water.
Woodworm treatment in Amersfoort
Many buildings in Amersfoort's historic centre are centuries old, with oak beams, timber floors and softwood roof structures. The villas of the Bergkwartier and the pre-war homes of the Leusderkwartier also often retain their original timber. Woodworm gives itself away through small round holes and little piles of fine bore dust; the house longhorn beetle through larger oval holes and gnawing sounds in the roof. We determine which insect is responsible, whether larvae are still at work and how serious the damage is, and then treat the timber in a targeted way. If there is any doubt about load-bearing capacity, we recommend getting a building surveyor involved. What helps: make sure the loft and crawl space stay dry, and have old furniture checked before it comes indoors.
Silverfish control in Amersfoort
Nocturnal and fond of moisture, warmth and starch: that sums up silverfish. They live in bathrooms, utility rooms and cellars and dart away when you switch on the light. In older homes in the Soesterkwartier and the town centre they are often linked to a damp crawl space or poor ventilation. In Vathorst and other new-build areas we more often find the grey silverfish, which survives in dry rooms too and damages cardboard and books. We establish which species it is, treat cracks and joints and advise on lowering humidity. What helps: ventilate after showering, dry the bathroom floor and don't leave stacks of cardboard in the loft.
Moth control in Amersfoort
A favourite wool jumper full of holes, or small brown moths in the kitchen cupboard: moths are tricky because the larvae work out of sight. Clothes moths live in dark wardrobes, carpets and under furniture; pantry moths in packets of flour, muesli, nuts and dry pet food. We find the breeding site, advise what to throw away and treat the cupboards and crevices. With pheromone traps you can then monitor yourself whether any moths are still flying. What helps: wash or freeze woollens before storing them, and keep dry goods in sealable jars.
Hornet nest removal in Amersfoort
Spreading steadily through the Netherlands, the Asian hornet can be recognised by its blackish-brown body, a single orange-yellow ring on the abdomen and yellow-tipped legs. Whereas the European hornet mainly nests in hollow trees, the Asian species prefers to hang its large, round nest high up in a tree. The wooded Bergkwartier and Amersfoort's tree-lined avenues have plenty of tall trees to keep such a nest out of sight for a long time. Report a sighting on waarneming.nl. Don't get too close, as hornets defend their nest fiercely. We assess the situation and remove the nest safely, with the right protective gear and equipment.
Bee nest removal in Amersfoort
If you see a dense cloud of bees in May or June that settles like a bunch of grapes on a branch, it is a swarm of honey bees. That is not a pest. A beekeeper can come and scoop up the swarm and house it in a hive. Even when bees have settled in a cavity wall or chimney, we first look for a solution through a beekeeper. Bumblebees like to nest in old mouse holes, bird boxes and insulation; they are peaceful and disappear after one season, so we prefer not to touch them. Can't tell which insect you have? We will help you identify it. What helps: keep your distance from a swarm and stay calm, as swarming bees rarely sting.
Pigeon control in Amersfoort
The towers, roofs and gutters of the old town are popular with feral pigeons. Around the station and on shop buildings along the Langestraat, that leads to soiled façades, blocked gutters and droppings on pavements and terraces. At homes in the outer districts, pigeons often nest under solar panels. We fit pigeon deterrents to suit the property: stainless steel spikes, barely visible netting, wire systems or mesh beneath solar panels. On listed buildings we look for a solution that does not spoil the look. Once fitted, we remove nests and mess. What helps: don't feed pigeons, and close off openings along the roof edge.
Pest control cost in Amersfoort
At Ongediertebestrijding Amersfoort you know where you stand in advance. Every job begins with the inspection, which costs €90 with call-out fee and VAT included. That amount applies throughout the municipality, Hoogland and Hooglanderveen included.
What the treatment then costs is always agreed with you beforehand. The price depends on the pest, how severe the infestation is and how many visits are required. A single wasp nest often needs just one visit; with bed bugs or cockroaches we usually plan a follow-up treatment. Our pest control in Amersfoort is sharply priced, with no small print.
