Looking for pest control in Arnhem, you will come across companies from the city itself, from the Veluwe and from the Nijmegen region. A website will not tell you which of them does good work. This page shows a preliminary top 3 for Arnhem, 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. Which Arnhem pest controller receives Gold, Silver and Bronze is announced on 7 November 2026.
Arnhem sits on the southern edge of the Veluwe, with parks such as Sonsbeek and Zypendaal in the middle of the city, wooded neighbourhoods like Alteveer with Burgers' Zoo round the corner, the pre-war Spijkerbuurt and Klarendal, 1930s houses in the Burgemeesterswijk and new housing in Schuytgraaf across the Rhine. All that greenery and mature woodland attracts wasps, and the search figures for this Gelderland city show it: wasps come first, closely followed by mice. Woodworm is third.
What to look for in pest control in Arnhem
Wasps or bees? A good controller knows the difference
In leafy Arnhem, a swarm of honeybees or a bumblebee nest is regularly mistaken for wasps. Bees are not exterminated but collected by a beekeeper, and bumblebees are left alone. A competent controller recognises the difference, including a nest of the Asian hornet, and tells you honestly when treatment is unnecessary or not permitted.
Check certificates and quality marks
Ask for the competence diploma of the controller who comes out and, where mouse or rat poison is used, the compulsory IPM certificate for rodent control. Affiliation with the KAD or the KPMB quality mark (Keurmerk Plaagdiermanagement Bedrijven) shows the company submits to outside checks. Ask about liability insurance too, especially for work on roofs or listed buildings.
Read reviews about aftercare
In reviews from Arnhem, pay particular attention to what happened after the first visit. Did the mice in Klarendal or the Spijkerbuurt come back, and did the company pick up the phone again? For woodworm: did the customer get a clear report? A company that scores well on aftercare is usually sound on other points as well.
Common pests in Arnhem
Wasp control in Arnhem
Wasp nest removal is the most requested job in Arnhem in summer, with nests in the ground and in hollow trees around Sonsbeek, Alteveer and the edge of the Veluwe, and under roof tiles, behind fascia boards and in sheds in the residential areas. Keep your distance, do not block the entrance yourself and have a controller remove the nest in protective clothing.
Mouse control in Arnhem
Mouse control in Arnhem peaks in autumn, when mice leave the woodland edges and parks for warm houses. In the old buildings of the Spijkerbuurt, Klarendal and Sint Marten they travel from home to home through cellars, crawl spaces and service ducts. A good controller first seals the gaps around pipes, the meter cupboard and the crawl space hatch, then sets traps or bait stations and returns to check.
Woodworm treatment in Arnhem
Woodworm in Arnhem mainly affects houses built before 1940 and the timber summerhouses, verandas and sheds of the leafy outer suburbs. Small round holes with fresh, pale frass in beams, floorboards or staircases indicate an active infestation; old dark holes are often harmless. Have a specialist establish the extent first and only then propose a treatment, such as spraying or injecting.
