Neher insect screen
Insect repellents with expertise and experience.
That is the mission of our family business. For 50 years, Neher Systeme GmbH & Co. KG has been developing tried and tested systems for an insect-free home and has written a success story with its environmentally friendly, high-quality fly screens.
The new brand: LIV by Neher
With LIV by Neher, we have a new product in our range that can be used to remove insects from living spaces – gently and safely.
We love insects.
And that’s why we want to protect them.
Growth and innovation characterize the history of the Neher Group. This success is also an obligation for us: to nature, to our environment and, of course, especially to our insects. As an important part of our ecosystem, we want to protect them and thus contribute to greater biodiversity.
The Neher insect protection meadow:
beautiful and effective
In 2019, we planted an almost 5,000 square meter insect protection meadow next to our company premises – perennial and self-sustaining. In order to protect the many wildflowers and grasses from erosion, we used fast-growing buckwheat as a quick-greening plant in the first year. It also looks beautiful with its white flowers. As an annual plant, it will gradually make room for other flowers and grasses.
The expansion of our meadow
With the construction of our new logistics building in 2023, we took the opportunity to expand the meadow. Today, over 8,000 square meters of blooming wilderness surround our company headquarters and expressively demonstrate how important a diverse insect world is for us and our environment.
Sustainability at Neher
For us, sustainability is an attitude that is embedded in all our processes and products.
For us, sustainability means acting responsibly towards people and nature.
Quality
The high quality of our products makes them durable, resource-saving and repairable.
Alternative energy sources
We have equipped the roof of our new logistics hall and our high-bay warehouse with a PV system. With an output of around 500 kWp and more than 1,200 modules, we can generate electricity sustainably – and are even self-sufficient in purely mathematical terms. However, as we do not always consume the electricity we generate at the same time, we continue to buy and sell it.
For years, we have been using the waste heat from a combined heat and power plant directly in front of our company to heat our buildings. The plant is operated with biogas from agricultural residues that are produced during the generation of green electricity. We use the resulting heat for heating in winter; in summer, wood chips are also dried.
Environmentally friendly packaging and partnerships
For LIV by Neher products in particular, we focus on packaging that is as environmentally friendly as possible: we avoid unnecessary plastic packaging and materials that cannot be recycled. Wherever possible, our suppliers come from the region. In this way, we keep transportation routes short.
Social responsibility
We have our LIV by Neher insect catcher manufactured by Lebenshilfe Landkreis Tuttlingen e.v.. Neher also supports social projects and associations with donations, for example Forikolo e.V., an association that is involved in the areas of education, agriculture and basic medical care in Sierra Leone, including by building and equipping schools. We also support the Glee Needy association with donations: Glee Needy builds schools and initiates social projects for orphans in Africa. Phönix e.V. is a non-profit association against sexual abuse of girls and boys. Neher is also financially involved in youth work at local sports clubs as well as medical and socially integrative initiatives and projects.
Insect protection
We are actively committed to protecting insects not only through our 8,000 square meter meadow, but also through our insect catcher. Every time we sell a device, we donate 40 cents to the Flowering Landscape Network. Because that’s exactly how much it costs to create one square meter of flowering meadow – a small paradise for insects.
Create your own insect protection meadow
Perhaps you have an unused area that you can turn into a beautiful insect meadow? No matter how small or large the area is – every square meter counts!
