Pest

Pests, also known as pests, can cause a lot of nuisance. Many people think they can call the municipality to solve the problems. But that is rarely the case. In most cases, it is up to you. Inform yourself well with a professional pest controller.

When can you involve the municipality?

  • For rat infestations, assistance from the municipality is free if the cause is on public property. After your report, you will usually receive a visit from one of our employees. He will investigate the causes of the problem. The cost of this investigation is borne by the municipality. If the cause of the problem is on municipal land, the costs of solving the problem are also for the municipality. But if the cause of the problem is on your own property then the cost of fixing it is for you.
     
  • For nuisance wasps and bees, but note: only if the nest is on public property!
    • If the nest is located on private land then you need to call a pest controller yourself!
    • If you have discovered a bee nest you should seek the help of a beekeeper. The beekeeper will come and remove the nest.
  • In cases of oak processionary caterpillar nuisance.
  • If you are experiencing problems with Asian hornets in public spaces, your yard, or your home.
    • We assess whether the nest poses a danger and whether action is needed.
      • There is no need to report hornets flying around.
      • Always stay at least 5 meters away from a nest, and do not attempt to remove it yourself.
