The production of high energy neutrons by muons in rock and in shielding materials typically used in direct dark matter search experiments has been simulated using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit. The results obtained agree within 25 % for different selections of physics models and within a factor of 2 with FLUKA simulations. Therefore we will use it for our simulations to check the relevance of muon-induced backgrounds.
