There is no fact sheet about your animal yet? INSECT RESPECT® in Switzerland offers a service to be sure whether you should protect yourself from an insect and how best to do so preventively.

Send in insect

Currently, we can offer Swiss customers an insect determination (CHF 30.- per piece.).

If you want to have an insect determined, there are two options:

1) Submission by post (higher probability of determination)

If you are interested, put a dead but intact specimen of the insect in a small box (with a cloth or paper for gentle transport), and describe by letter these two questions: Where did you find the insects? At best: What is infested with the insects?

To the following address:
Reckhaus AG
Strahlholz 13
CH-9056 Gais

INSECT RESPECT® determines the insect species for you and sends you a fact sheet with information by e-mail.

2) Submission of a sharp photo as well as as precise description (location, etc.) by e-mail.
