A search for pest control in Almere mostly returns companies from Amsterdam, the Gooi area and Flevoland itself, which makes choosing tricky: who really knows the city? On this page you will find a preliminary top 3 for Almere, compiled from publicly available data: online reviews, certificates and accreditations, and years of experience. An independent jury of pest-control experts checks that data and decides the final order. A place cannot be bought. On 7 November 2026 we announce which Almere pest controller receives Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Almere is the youngest large city in the Netherlands, built on reclaimed polder land in Flevoland with plenty of greenery, water and family homes with a garden and shed in Almere Stad, Haven, Buiten, Poort and Hout. There are no old buildings, but the open polder, the woods and the tightly packed terraced streets bring their own pests. In Almere, wasps are the most searched-for pest, followed, notably, by bed bugs. Mice come third, mainly in autumn when they move in from the fields and verges.
What to look for in pest control in Almere
Choose a company that genuinely covers Almere
Many pest controllers advertise in Almere but drive in from Amsterdam or Utrecht. That can work fine, but ask about travel time and call-out charges for an emergency, such as a wasp nest by your front door. A company with regular clients in Almere Buiten or Poort knows how the neighbourhoods are built and where wasps and mice settle here.
Bed bugs: ask about the method and the number of rounds
With bed bugs, a single treatment is almost never enough. Ask whether the company uses heat, products or a combination, how many rounds are included as standard and what you need to do beforehand. A controller who promises it will all be over after one visit, with no follow-up check, is best avoided.
Check the IPM certificate for mice
Since 2023, controllers may only use mouse and rat poison if they hold an IPM certificate for rodent control. That means tackling the causes first, such as gaps around the crawl space, eaves or shed, and using products only afterwards. Ask to see the certificate and be wary of a company that wants to start with poison straight away.
Common pests in Almere
Wasp control in Almere
Wasp nest removal is the most requested job in Almere during summer. The many sheds, timber fences, roof overhangs and compost heaps in the garden suburbs of Almere Buiten, Haven and Hout are ideal nesting spots, as are the fascia boards of terraced houses. Keep your distance, keep children and pets away and have a controller remove the nest. They can also tell wasps from protected bees.
Bed bug treatment in Almere
Bed bug treatment is searched for remarkably often in Almere. Bed bugs hitch a ride in luggage after a holiday, in second-hand furniture and through shared walls in the apartment blocks around the centre and in Almere Poort. If you notice itchy bites in a row and dark specks along the mattress seams, call a specialist. Do not clear out the room yourself; that spreads the bugs through the house.
Mouse control in Almere
Mouse control in Almere peaks in autumn. Once the fields around the city have been harvested and temperatures drop, field mice and house mice move from verges, woodland edges and polder into sheds, crawl spaces and kitchens. Terraced houses often share a crawl space, so check with the neighbours too. A good controller first seals the gaps around pipes and the meter cupboard, then sets traps or bait stations.
