- In Hohtenn, focus on entry points in older building fabric
- In Steg, focus on storage and waste areas at commercial and industrial premises
- A separate approach for each locality
Two Localities with Different Building Fabric
Steg-Hohtenn was formed in 2009 through the merger of the former municipalities of Steg on the valley floor and Hohtenn on the hillside terrace above. According to the Federal Population Census of 2000, 44.2 percent of buildings in Hohtenn date from before 1946, compared with 17.6 percent in Steg.
In buildings from before 1946, I expect more uncontrolled entry points for rodents than in newer buildings, for example at old joints and cavities.
Industrial and Commercial Zone on the Steg Valley Floor
The Steg building and zoning regulations (Bau- und Zonenreglement) designate a separate industrial zone I and commercial zone G on the valley floor. Among other businesses, an aluminium foundry is located on the Steg valley floor.
In this setting, the focus is mainly on storage, waste and monitoring rather than on entry points in old buildings. I describe identification and treatment itself on Pest control in Upper Valais.
Sealing in Hohtenn, Monitoring in Steg
In Hohtenn, my property assessment focuses mainly on entry points at joints and cavities, so sealing takes correspondingly more effort. In Steg, businesses are more about ongoing monitoring with a control log. I describe a similar focus on old stone houses, though with a different starting point, on Pest control Raron.

I am available around the clock, including weekends and public holidays, whether you are down in Steg or up in Hohtenn. From my base in Naters, journey times across the whole of Upper Valais are short.
