Building and living in the region
Old town and Abbey District
Around the Abbey District, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stand closely built town houses with oriel windows. Roof spaces, cornices and oriels offer pigeons and martens nooks.
Buildings from the embroidery era
Around 1900, embroidery made St. Gallen famous worldwide. Many large commercial and factory buildings from that time now serve as flats, offices or storage.
Wooden houses in the countryside
In the Toggenburg and in the hills around the city stand many log houses with shingle façades. Old wood attracts wood pests, and cavities behind the panelling lure mice.
From the Rhine Valley to Lake Zurich
The city of St. Gallen lies at around 700 metres in a high valley between Lake Constance and the Alpstein. Not far away are Gossau and Wil in the west and Rorschach on the lake. In the Rhine Valley, towns such as Altstätten and Buchs line the border with Austria and Liechtenstein, and further south come the Sarganserland and Lake Walen. Rapperswil-Jona lies on the upper part of Lake Zurich.
Housing is as varied as the landscape: period flats with oriel windows in the city, flats in former textile buildings, detached houses in the Rhine Valley and wooden houses in the Toggenburg. Especially in old buildings with a lot of wood and many cavities, an infestation often stays hidden for a long time.
Common pests in the region
- MothsClothes moths eat wool, silk and fur, preferably undisturbed in wardrobes, chests and storerooms. Pantry moths show up in the food cupboard.
- WoodwormSmall round holes and little heaps of bore dust in panelling, roof beams or old furniture point to an infestation.
- MartensStone martens live in the city as well as in the countryside. They use roof spaces, barns and engine compartments as shelter.
- PigeonsPigeons find a foothold on the oriels, ledges and roof overhangs of the old town. Their droppings soil façades and can damage cornices.

Frequently asked questions
Your question isn’t listed?
Ask us directly: 043 508 75 29
Do you also cover the Rhine Valley and the Linth area?
Yes. Our service area covers the whole canton, from Rorschach to the Sarganserland, and the rest of Switzerland. We clarify on the phone when someone can be with you.
How do you recognise clothes moths?
Typical signs are irregular holes in wool or silk and fine webbing in folds and corners. The small, shiny yellowish moths themselves are seen rather rarely.
Can an old wooden house be treated gently?
Yes. First we clarify whether the infestation is still active. Then we choose a method that suits the building and discuss it with you.
