  • The approach depends on whether visitors pass close to the nest site
  • Visible cordoning during opening hours, or treatment outside them
  • Species identified on site, with a solution other than treatment considered first for hornets and bees

Seats and a Summer Kiosk Application

Hotel, Restaurant and Garni have their own category in the waste disposal base fee table. Charges apply both per bed and per seat, with a minimum charge of CHF 300 per business. In addition, the municipality published an application for an operating licence for a kiosk sale in 2026. The application covers alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as reheated food for consumption on site, with opening hours from 09:30 to 17:30 during the summer season. The business may only start once the licence has been granted.

Whether these seats are indoors or outdoors is not stated in the table. But where people eat and drink outside, for example on a terrace or at a kiosk, guests come close to possible nesting sites.

Checking Who Passes the Nest First

When I get a report, I first check whether guests or passers-by pass close to the nest site, for example at a kiosk, on a terrace or at the hotel entrance. I then decide whether to cordon it off visibly during opening hours or, where possible, treat it outside opening hours.

How I generally identify species and carry out treatment is explained on Wasp nest removal in Upper Valais. Ongoing pest monitoring for hospitality businesses in Bettmeralp can be planned in at the same business, at the same time.

Questions about Wasp nest removal in Bettmeralp

Not necessarily. I first check whether guests pass directly by the nest site. I then either cordon off the spot visibly during service, or treat it outside opening hours where possible.
