It starts with a special task. Dr. H.-D. Reckhaus, Managing Director of Reckhaus<\/a>, commissioned Frank and Patrik Riklin from the Atelier f\u00fcr Sonderaufgaben<\/a> (Atelier for special tasks), to look for an idea for the market entry of a new fly trap. The cross-thinking conceptual artists recommended the opposite: they demanded Dr. H.-D. Reckhaus to question the relationship between man and insect. What is the value of an insect? This question, which was far too rarely asked, led to the action Saving flies in Deppendorf<\/a>. The focus was no longer on the fight against it, but on the counter-movement and transformation of the company initiated by art.<\/p>\n In the background, the action resulted in Dr. H.-D. Reckhaus a far-reaching rethinking and „renegotiation“: In cooperation with the biologists of ARNAL – B\u00fcro f\u00fcr Natur und Landschaft AG,<\/a> it was calculated for the first time in detail how control agents affect the insect population. From this, a model was derived to compensate for this influence with additional insect-friendly areas. The quality mark INSECT RESPECT\u00ae stands for a triad:<\/p>\n Insect control\u2026<\/p>\n 1) \u2026reduction (through change of awareness in society and prevention tips)
2) \u2026ecologisation (through insecticide-free, repellent or rescue products) and
3) \u2026compensation (through the creation of insect-friendly habitats).<\/p>\n
