recozit – retail brand that makes a difference

Dr. Reckhaus and its recozit brand is the world’s first biocide provider that adds INSECT RESPECT warnings to its products. In the future, each packaging will contain a warning sentence: “Product kills valuable insects.”. The notice has been on the front of all products that kill insects since 2019.

Preventative tips intended to reduce pest control

Präventionstipps sollen Bekämpfung reduzieren

In collaboration with INSECT RESPECT, recozit products will now contain not only the warning notice but also useful information about insects and extensive preventative tips. The goal is for users to protect themselves against insects preventatively, to reduce the need for pest control.

“Never trust a pest control product that doesn’t warn against using it” says German Vordenkerpreis and Swiss Ethics Prize winner Dr. Hans-Dietrich Reckhaus. Are insects more beneficial or harmful? What role do they play in the world? What are the effects of climate change: Will the number of insects continue to decrease?

Since 2019, INSECT RESPECT has compensated for insecticide-free products from the recozit product range. Insect loss caused by using the products is compensated for in advance – through the targeted creation of insect-friendly habitats.

Turning tradition into innovation

For over 60 years Reckhaus, a family business, has been producing pest control products for indoor use. Thanks to committed partnership with a large number of retailers, recozit has been a leading retail brand in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for decades.

These specialist stores stand for unique product quality and outstanding advising. “We are convinced that business owners and their employees can help consumers understand the importance of insects through personal discussions. This is further evidence of the unique added value that retail stores offer” says Dr. H.-D. Reckhaus.

Knowledge is power – The power to protect insects

All recozit products conform to Reckhaus’s high quality standards. recozit ingredients are targeted to act on specific insects. To understand these insects, INSECT RESPECT has created fact sheets about them that help consumers to appreciate the animals and prevent infestations in the future. In this way, the traditional Reckhaus brand wants to help protect insects, and by doing so protect biological diversity. The over 100 fact sheets from INSECT RESPECT promote preventative protection against insects.
