Pest control in Almere
A young city does not keep pests away. Terraced homes with crawl spaces, gardens by the water and packed storage sheds offer plenty of hiding places. This is what we handle for you.
Mouse control
In Almere, crawl spaces sometimes run beneath an entire row of terraced houses, and mice make good use of that. We control them and make air vents and pipe ducts mouse-proof.
Rat control
Ditches, canals and compost heaps draw rats into Almere's gardens. We find out whether they come in through the sewer or the garden and tackle both routes.
Wasp nest removal
Wasps crawl into cavity walls through open weep vents or nest behind the fascia boards. We treat the nest precisely, without you ever having to climb a ladder.
Bed bug treatment
A second-hand bed bought online or a family holiday: that is often how bed bugs get in. We track them down right into the seams and treat with heat.
Flea treatment
Families with a dog or cat will face fleas sooner or later. The vet helps your pet, while we treat the rugs, sofas and the rest of the house.
Cockroach control
German cockroaches appear in the kitchens of restaurants and flats in the town centre. We place gel bait in their hiding places and check that the population disappears.
Ant control
Ants nest in the sand bed under your patio slabs and walk straight into the kitchen. We tackle the nest and the trail and give tips to keep them outside.
Woodworm treatment
Old furniture, reclaimed timber or firewood kept indoors can bring woodworm with it. We establish whether the infestation is active and advise on how to treat the wood.
Other pests
Pigeons under the solar panels, silverfish in a new-build bathroom, moths, spiders or a stone marten under the roof: feel free to ask what we can do for you.
From your call to a pest-free home
Call us, even after work
Even if you only get home in the evening, you can ring us. Tell us what you are seeing and we will plan a time that suits you.
Inspection at your home
We check the house, garden and crawl space and pinpoint the source. The cost: €90 including call-out fee and VAT.
Treatment once agreed
You know the cost in advance. Once you agree, we deal with the pests and close up gaps and openings.
Preventing a repeat
You get advice suited to your home and garden, so you keep the chance of new problems as small as possible.
Pest control prices in Almere
Clear pricing: the inspection costs from €90 and you hear the price of the treatment in advance.
With Ongediertebestrijding Almere you initially pay only for the inspection: €90 including the call-out fee and VAT. For that amount an expert visits you, whether you live in Almere Buiten, in Almere Hout or by the Noorderplassen. They look for the cause and discuss the possible approach with you.
The treatment itself gets a fixed price that we agree with you beforehand. That price depends on which pest it is, how far the infestation has spread and how many visits are required. Bed bugs in several bedrooms, for instance, take more time than a wasp nest in the gutter. We do not start without your agreement.

At home in every part of Almere
Ongediertebestrijding Almere works for tenants, homeowners, VvEs, restaurants and businesses in every district. We can be reached day and night, seven days a week. Our accredited and certified experts follow integrated pest management: look carefully first, then remove the cause and proof the building, and only use professional products for targeted control when it is needed.
Almere is built on reclaimed polder land, and that shows in its pests. The water table is high, so crawl spaces are often damp, and mice like to spend the winter there. Water and greenery are everywhere: the Weerwater, the Noorderplassen, canals, ditches and parks such as the Kromslootpark. Terraced houses with a garden and shed are typical of the city, as are the new builds in Almere Poort and Almere Hout. More and more of those roofs carry solar panels, which pigeons love to nest under.
We know how these homes are built and where pests get in. We work quickly, keep our prices sharp and always agree the cost in advance. Afterwards you receive advice so you can reduce the risk of a repeat yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Wasps keep flying in and out of a small hole in my wall. Is that a nest?
Almost certainly. In Almere homes that hole is often an open weep vent low in the wall, meant to ventilate the cavity. The nest is then inside the cavity wall. Do not block the hole yourself, as the wasps will look for a way indoors. We treat the nest at the end of the day, when the workers are back inside.
How do I recognise bed bugs, and what should I do if I find them?
Bed bugs are flat, brown insects a few millimetres long. Often you notice the bites first: itchy bumps in a row, usually on the arms, neck or legs. Check the mattress seams and behind the headboard. Do not move belongings to other rooms, as that spreads them. Call us and we will treat with heat.
What do I pay for an inspection in Almere?
The inspection costs €90 including the call-out fee and VAT, in every district. Afterwards you receive a price for the treatment, which we agree with you in advance. It depends on the type of pest, how widespread it is and how many visits are needed.
I work outside Almere during the day. Is an evening or weekend visit possible?
Yes, that is possible. We are available 24/7 and work from Monday to Sunday. Many Almere residents work elsewhere, so we also plan appointments at the end of the day or on Saturdays and Sundays. Call us and we will quickly find a suitable moment together.
Is it safe while my children and dog are at home?
Yes, provided you follow our instructions. Bait for mice and rats sits in sealed bait boxes, and gel for cockroaches or ants is applied out of reach. For some treatments we ask you not to use a room for a few hours. You will always be told beforehand.
What can I already do myself?
Clear away food scraps, birdseed and pet food, and do not keep the wheelie bin right next to the back door. With mice, leave the dust and belongings in the crawl space as they are, because those traces help us. With wasps, stay away from the nest and keep nearby windows closed.
Pigeons are nesting under the solar panels on our roof. Can you help?
Yes. The space between the panels and the roof tiles is sheltered and warm, ideal for pigeons. Over time nesting material and droppings build up, causing noise, smells and blocked gutters. We remove the nesting material and fit mesh or a strip around the panels so pigeons can no longer get underneath.

Pest control in Almere: from Haven to Poort
Since the 1970s Almere has grown into a city of over 220,000 residents, with plenty of greenery and even more water. That makes it a pleasant place to live, but also somewhere mice, rats, wasps and insects find ample opportunity. Ongediertebestrijding Almere helps households, VvEs, hospitality venues and businesses get rid of them quickly and without fuss. Good pest control in Almere starts with knowing how these homes are built.
Our pest control in Almere follows a fixed line: inspect, remove the cause, proof the building and, where needed, treat in a targeted way. You can also find background information on pests and prevention at the Kennis- en Adviescentrum Dierplagen.
Mouse control in Almere
As the evenings turn colder, wood mice and house mice move indoors from verges, green spaces and gardens. In Almere's terraced houses, the crawl space is their main way in. They enter through broken air bricks in the wall and climb along pipes to the meter cupboard, the kitchen or the cavity. Because crawl spaces sometimes run beneath several homes, the whole row is often affected.
Our mouse control combines bait boxes or traps with sealing every opening larger than about 6 mm. Replace damaged vents with covers that have fine mesh, and talk to your neighbours so you can tackle the problem together.
Rat control in Almere
Water and food attract rats, and Almere has plenty of both. Along ditches and canals, brown rats dig burrows into the banks, and from there they visit gardens with compost heaps, birdseed or chicken runs. Around building sites in new districts, rats are also disturbed and go looking for new places to settle.
Our rat control starts with the question of how the rat gets in: through the garden or through the sewer. Have a damaged drain examined by a drainage specialist with a camera; a rat valve then keeps them out. Rats in a park, on a verge or along a canal should be reported to the gemeente Almere. Only put birdseed on a feeding table, never on the ground.
Wasp nest removal in Almere
Much of Almere consists of family homes with cavity walls, wooden fascia boards and tiled roofs, which are exactly where wasps build their nests. They fly through an open weep vent into the cavity, crawl under a roof tile or hang their nest in a roller-shutter box, shed or playhouse. From July such a nest grows fast, and in late summer the wasps become more intrusive around the patio and barbecue.
When removing a wasp nest, we first locate the entrance hole. We then treat the nest precisely, preferably late in the day. You never have to go up a ladder or near the nest yourself. If you see a single large wasp searching around the shed in spring, it is often a queen looking for a nest site: an ideal moment to seal openings.
Bed bug treatment in Almere
Bed bugs have nothing to do with hygiene: they settle just as easily in a tidy new-build home as in a hotel. They usually hitch a ride in a suitcase after a holiday, in a second-hand mattress or sofa bought online, or with guests who stay over. At night they feed on blood; during the day they hide in seams, cracks and behind the headboard.
We inspect every sleeping area and treat bed bugs with heat, so the eggs are dealt with too. Afterwards we check the result. If you unpack your suitcase in the bathroom or on a hard floor after a trip and wash your clothes hot straight away, you considerably reduce the risk.
Hornet nest removal in Almere
The Asian hornet is an invasive species that preys on honey bees and other insects. You recognise it by its almost black body, a single broad orange band on the abdomen and yellow tips on its legs. In summer the nest often hangs high in a tree, along an avenue, in a park or at the edge of woodland, and stays hidden in the foliage for a long time.
Always report a sighting on waarneming.nl. Do not get too close to a nest and never try to remove it yourself; leave that to a professional with the right equipment. A European hornet, with a reddish-brown thorax and a yellow abdomen, is left alone as far as possible.
Bee nest removal in Almere
Wild bees, bumblebees and honey bees are welcome in Almere's gardens and parks. Even so, a swarm of honey bees in your hedge or a bumblebee nest next to the front door can give you quite a fright. There is no need to panic: bees and bumblebees are far less aggressive than wasps.
We do not kill honey bees. Have a swarm collected by a beekeeper, who will give the bees a new home. We prefer to leave bumblebees in peace, as their nest dies off naturally after the summer. We do help you identify the species and advise on limiting the nuisance until then.
Flea treatment in Almere
Itchy bites around your ankles just as you sit down on the sofa? There is a good chance you have fleas in the house. They usually come in with a dog or cat that picks them up outside in the grass, and then lay eggs at a rapid rate in the pet bed, the rug and the sofa.
Treatment has two parts: the vet treats your pet, and we treat the home, including the places where larvae hide. Before our visit, vacuum all floors, rugs and furniture and wash the dog bed at a high temperature. Keep vacuuming regularly for a few weeks afterwards.
Ant control in Almere
In many Almere gardens, the paving is laid on a bed of sand, and black garden ants feel perfectly at home there. They dig their nest under the slabs and follow a scent trail along the wall to the kitchen, especially when there is something sweet to be had. In large, heated buildings pharaoh ants can also occur; they are tiny, yellowish-brown and hard to eradicate.
We treat garden ants at the nest and along their trail, so the queen is reached too. Pharaoh ants require a specialist approach with bait. You can seal the joints between patio and wall yourself and clear up sugary residue straight away.
Silverfish control in Almere
Silverfish in a brand-new home? It happens more often than you might think. New builds in Almere Poort or Almere Hout still contain construction moisture for the first few years, and in a well-insulated home that moisture lingers if there is little ventilation. They also turn up in older homes with a damp crawl space or bathroom.
We treat their hiding places along skirting boards, sealant joints and pipes and advise on ventilation. Always leave the mechanical ventilation on, even on its lowest setting, and open the trickle vents above the windows. That gives silverfish far less of a chance.
Cockroach control in Almere
The German cockroach is a true indoor dweller. In Almere we mainly see it in restaurants in the centre, in apartment blocks with shared service shafts and in commercial kitchens. It is light brown, about one and a half centimetres long, and hides by day behind fridges, in cupboards and around the dishwasher.
We use gel bait that the cockroaches carry back to their hiding place, and return for a check-up. For restaurants we schedule treatment outside the busiest hours. At home it helps not to leave dirty dishes out overnight and to seal gaps around pipes.
Woodworm treatment in Almere
Almere is a young city, so you will hardly find centuries-old beams here. Even so, we do come across woodworm. The beetle usually arrives in an antique cupboard, a second-hand chair, reclaimed timber for wall cladding or firewood kept indoors. Round holes of one to two millimetres with fine bore dust beneath them give the larvae away.
We establish whether the infestation is still active and advise on treating the furniture or timber. Store firewood outside or in the shed and check old furniture for holes before bringing it into the house.
Moth control in Almere
Clothes moths and pantry moths are small insects with big consequences. Clothes moth larvae eat holes in wool, cashmere and fur, often in a wardrobe in the loft or the spare room. Pantry moths turn up in the kitchen cupboard, spinning webbing in flour, rice, nuts or dog food.
We treat cupboards and cracks and hang pheromone traps to see whether the problem is decreasing. You can throw away affected products yourself, vacuum out the cupboards and keep supplies in airtight containers. Put clothes away clean and dry in a sealed cover.
Pigeon control in Almere
Many Almere roofs carry solar panels, and the space beneath them is an ideal breeding spot for pigeons: sheltered, warm and hard to reach. The result is cooing early in the morning, nesting material in the gutter and droppings on panels and patio. Balconies of flats in Almere Centrum and Almere Poort are popular too.
We remove nesting material and install pigeon deterrents, such as mesh or a strip around solar panels, spikes on ledges and netting for balconies. Never feed pigeons, and make sure no food scraps are left lying on the balcony.
Inspection and costs: how it works in Almere
With Ongediertebestrijding Almere, the price comes in two steps. First the inspection: €90 including the call-out fee and VAT, wherever in Almere you live. During that visit we establish what is going on and how we will solve it.
Next comes a price proposal for the treatment, which we agree together in advance. The amount depends on the pest, the size of the infestation and how many visits are needed. A mouse problem across a whole row of houses needs more work than a single wasp nest. Once you agree, we schedule the treatment straight away. Clear and fair: that is how pest control in Almere should work.
