The licensing of a product with the INSECT RESPECT® seal of approval is basically individual or product-specific. The award can be made to all products that protect people from insects or promote insects.

The following criteria are used to check:

  • Does the product protect humans from insects by fighting or keeping animals remote? Does the product promote the stock of insects?
  • Do the product and its award meet the legal requirements?
  • Can the technology and formulation of the product be judged to be up-to-date and good in terms of efficacy, environmental compatibility and user safety?
  • Is the product in line with the INSECT RESPECT® philosophy?
  • Is the partner willing to promote less biocidal use and the value of insects?
  • The partner must have demonstrated commitment to the environment and have anchored sustainability in its corporate philosophy.
  • No insecticides
  • No hazardous substances (without the symbol „dangerous to the environment“)
  • Award without trivialization and inconcrete statements („nature“, „natural“)
  • Complete compensation for damage caused by application (insect losses)
  • Detailed instructions for use (e.g. for targeted, effective control)
  • Useful information on prevention

For products that generate insect loss

  • Calculation of the procedure according to scientific model (insect biomass per product)
  • Calculation of compensation (required area in cm² for compensation)
  • planned quantity
  • Compensation costs

For products that keep or promote insects

  • 1% of the selling price goes into full use for the construction of new insect habitats

if necessary, additional price for greening the product

  • License fee for INSECT RESPECT®

Label awarding

If all criteria are met and the process is implemented, the label is awarded. The INSECT RESPECT ® seal of approval applies to a product line without time limit as long as it meets the above points.
