ABOUT INSECT-RESPECT
Since 2012, we have been raising awareness of the value of six-legged friends, creating new habitats and changing society. Become an important part of our history and future. With Insectemy, we bring together landscapers to make a positive change together. Our team consists of experts in landscaping and environmental protection who are passionate about protecting insects and promoting their habitats.
WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION
A product kills insects that are subsequently missing from the ecosystem. This loss is compensated for. The compensation is achieved by establishing insect-friendly extensive flat roof greening in residential or industrial areas. This involves creating new green flat roofs or upgrading existing ones.
