I'm not sure about Holland, but I do know that in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) there is a program in place to gradually eliminate the coypus totally. They started this operation in 2002, after their numbers in Flanders and the bordering countries started to rapidly increase. Once they have succeeded they will continue this program of trapping them around the borders, so that they don't re-establish in Belgium.
At the moment they are mainly found in the part of the Maas that forms the border with the Netherlands, but have been seen all over Flanders.

So as they are so close to us, I take it that coypi are found in Holland, but I haven't heard that we are experiencing problems with them. Maybe Arp or Goosey can help out there?
