Repell-em Blog

When I saw the cats cautiously approaching my Christmas tree, sniffing, sniffing some more, and then stepping onto the tree skirt, I knew it was time to put a fresh Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt.  It looks like three weeks is the approximate life span of a Repellem tablecloth being used under a Christmas tree!

In a cartoon or movie, two cats leaping onto a loaded Christmas tree, knocking it down and sending ornaments every which way, would be funny.  In real life?  Not so much.  Until I discovered Repellem, however, there was NOTHING that seemed to deter the cats from that tree.

Once I put a Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt, though, the tree, with all its moving parts and batting possibilities, didn’t even seem to exist for the cats.  It was perfect.

Thank you, Repellem.  My Christmas tree is STILL upright and  beautiful, and it’s all because of YOU.

I know I’ve posted about putting a Repellem bag under your Christmas tree skirt before, but as more and more of you are putting up your holiday decorations and trees now, the advice bears repeating.  I have indoor cats who can’t resist swinging, climbing, and batting at pretty much anything and everything, and yet, these lively jumping cats have left my Christmas tree completely alone.  It’s as if they can’t even see or smell it.

That’s because I put a Repellem trash bag under the tree skirt.

Repell-em really does live up to its name.  It doesn’t hurt or kill; it simply REPELS.  I feel safe in claiming that a Repellem product will repel anything the size of an average dog or smaller, all the way down to fleas and gnats.  I’m not ruling out Repellem working on larger animals, but I haven’t TRIED Repellem on polar bears or kangaroos yet.  I have, however, tried it on dogs the size of large collies, raccoons, possums, and cats of all sizes.  Oh, and DEER!  Repellem kept the deer out of my garden ALL SUMMER LONG!  Repellem worked on all of these animals, and let us sit out on our deck without having to swat mosquitoes, flies, or gnats all summer long, too.  Repellem also kept the wasps away, even when we had lemonade out there!

My mother has lined her fireplace mantle - well away from the flame or heat - with holiday-looking red Repellem tablecloths, folded, and her cats haven’t jumped up there to disturb or knock over her angel collection or little Christmas trains yet.  They won’t, either.

Animals can’t sense a Repellem product; therefore, anything you’re protecting with a Repellem product won’t be sensed, either.

Your pets will leave your holiday decorations alone if you just put some Repellem in there with them.

Come and look at my Christmas tree.  No cat could resist it.  And yet, with Repellem, they do!

My newest batch of Repellem trash bags arrived today, and BOY, was I glad to see them!

I ran out of Repellem bags two days ago, and had to use some leftover Hefty bags  an inferior brand of trash bag.  This meant that I could not toss the full bags out on the deck, since animals can see white typical trash bags and smell what’s inside of them from long distances away.  THIS meant that I had to keep three bags of garbage in my kitchen, and I hate doing that for so many reasons.

But today, my new Repellem bags arrived, and I immediately put them in all of the wastebaskets in the house.  I also slipped the Hefty inferior bags into the Repellem bags so I could set them outside.

Using Repellem products has improved the quality of our lives so very, very much, and I know that the quality of YOUR life, and your family’s lives, would be improved, too.

Repellem products help me keep my home clean and green and safe.  What more could anyone ask of a product?

$250.00 in merchandise is a big prize, bloggers.  A BIG PRIZE!!!

Repellem products are so excellent, and getting a prize just for saying so seems pretty easy to me.  What are you waiting for?

I had 12 people at my Thanksgiving table yesterday, and there really weren’t very many leftovers, nor did people throw away very much uneaten food.   As I type, it’s after midnight and out on my deck is a Repellem trash bag with the carcass of an 18-pound turkey in it.  Am I worried about putting an item like that outside overnight?  With any other brand of trash bag I would be crazy to do that, but I use Repellem trash bags exclusively now, and Repellem bags work so well, I can set them outside overnight no matter what kind of strong-smelling goodies I put inside the bags.  Animals just can’t sense a Repellem product or what it might be hiding, and that is wonderful news to someone like me who lives out in the country and really doesn’t want to step around full trash bags in the kitchen all the time.

We take our trash to the dump once a week, and in between trips, we have to endure full trash bags.  Since I discovered Repellem, that isn’t the big deal it once was!  That’s because with Repellem bags, I can put them outdoors as soon as they get full!

I love Repellem products, and I think you will, too.  You can order them off this website, or buy them in many fine stores, and more stores are carrying them daily.

The SMART stores.

While you’re waiting for your Repellem order to come, get over here and enter the contest.  Big prizes.  BIG ones.

Be sure to check the Repell-em blog first thing Monday morning!  That’s the day we’re announcing our next Blog Giveaway, and the prizes for THIS one are FANTASTIC!

You know, FANTASTIC, just like Repell-em products themselves!  EcoSmart has an excellent product in Repell-em, because not only are Repell-em products made of strong, thick plastic; Repell-em products are also treated with a recipe of natural ingredients that totally repels insects and animals!  This makes Repell-em products the best in the world!  Think how much more pleasant your picnics will be from now on, with a Repell-em tablecloth keeping away ALL of the mosquitoes, flies, and gnats!  Think how much more fun your camping trips will be with Repell-em tent mats and trash bags keeping away ALL of the mosquitoes, flies, gnats, raccoons, possums, and any other annoying living thing!  (Sorry, doesn’t work on humans!)

Think about how much easier it will be, with Repell-em, to bag up the trash and set it outside to be picked up the next morning, and not have to worry about dogs sniffing it out and tearing it up.

Repell-em makes our lives easier and cleaner in so many ways.  Let’s not forget, too, that not only is Repell-em a superior product in every way, it is also a very GREEN product - 100% biodegradeable, 100% natural, and harmless to all living things.  Humans love the aroma, too.  I personally think that my Repell-em products smell like expensive candles.

Repell-em is undergoing a name change:  soon we will be known as Eco-Smart Plastics.

We are, as you no doubt know, a company that makes 100% natural, biodegradeable plastics: Repell-em scented products that repel almost any and all insects and animals, and Eco-smartbags, our unscented trash bags, among others.

Because Eco-Smart has proven itself to be a genuinely GREEN business, consciouentious consumers have really started to take notice, and beginning this January, you will find Repell-em and Eco-Smart in several more fine stores, in the GREEN section!

You will still be able to find Repell-em products in fine sports and camping stores such as Cabela’s, too! Of course, you can ALWAYS find Repell-em and Eco-Smart products online, too: right here in our store.

And hey!  We’re having a SALE!

Not only that:Eco-Smart Plastics is gearing up for another BLOG CONTEST!  Watch this blog closely for the announcement!  ( BIG prizes, folks!)

Look at this adorable baby nursery! Everything is ready for the baby; the room is spotless, from the corners of the closet to the linens on the bed.

Nobody pictures anything in this room that might be harmful to the baby; it just can’t happen in here.

The fact is, however, that a baby’s room is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and insects. Dirty diapers, cloth or disposable, harbor all kinds of scents, and the cloths we use to wipe up baby messes and other ’things’ we use in there are like a big insect buffet.

Nobody wants to see spiders, roaches, ants, etc. in the baby’s room or, heaven forbid, on the baby! That’s why many new parents are using Repell-em trash bags these days. There is absolutely nothing in a Repell-em trash bag that is in any way harmful to a baby - even if your baby chews on a Repell-em bag, it won’t harm him.

Using Repell-em bags in any room makes that room smell wonderful, and the nursery is no exception. It’s not that Repell-em aroma covers up the stinkies that inevitably overcome the baby smells of powder and lotion and sweet clean baby; it’s that when you put dirty diapers, wipies, etc, in a Repell-em bag, those odors just plain can’t get out of the Repell-em bag.

We want every room in our home to be clean and insect-free, but we ESPECIALLY want the baby’r room to be clean and insect-free.

Repell-em bags can do that for us. 100% natural ingredients, heavenly aroma, and soon you’ll be able to buy Repell-em bags in many designer colors!

Put a Repell-em trash bag in your nursery and it will never smell like a bathroom. Ever.

Today is Earth Day 2008, and it’s important that we all remember that we only have one planet, and that if we don’t take care of it, we don’t really have any other options as to a planet on which to live.

Mercury and Venus are too hot, and all the others are too cold. I won’t even get into the atmosphere issue, or the fact that the big gas planets don’t have a solid surface yet.

Our planet, Earth, is our home, and it’s of vital importance that we keep our home clean and able to sustain life.

We here at Repell-em seek to make life on our planet better by making our product out of 100% natural ingredients, and making it 100% biodegradable. Our product does not add to the Earth’s pollution level; using our product helps make our planet cleaner, safer, and healthier for human habitation.

On Earth Day, we are reminded of what we really ought to be thinking and doing all the other days of the year, too: living our lives in ways that help, and sustain, and nurture our planet and each other. Our own personal environments are made better by using Repell-em products, and if everyone on Earth worked to make his/her own personal environment better, the whole planet would be better.

It’s like those sayings our grandmothers used to tell us: If everyone on Earth swept his own doorstep, the whole world would be clean.

It’s true, too. And using Repell-em products is a step in the right direction.

I’ll send a free Repell-em trash bag to the first commenter who tells us all the actual mythological name of our planet. Earth, after all, is merely a nickname.

Spring is here, and already dedicated campers are out in the woods, sleeping in tents, cooking over campfires, and enjoying life in the outdoors.

Even campers have trash, and Mother Nature doesn’t take kindly to having garbage strewn all over her grassy carpets. This is exactly what happens, however, when garbage is set out in regular clear or white trash bags. Animals can smell the goodies inside from miles away, and they don’t mind being called litterbugs, because they will tear those regular trash bags to pieces and scatter the contents everywhere.

Today’s wise campers will take Repell-em products with them to the campsite. Repell-em tent mats and liners will keep insects and animals out of the tent. Repell-em tablecloths will keep insects and animals away from your picnic table. Strips of Repell-em bags around your wrist or ankle will keep insects away from you when you walk or hike. And when you bag your trash in a Repell-em trash bag, it will not only keep the bugs away from your campsite, it will also repel most animals as well.

The natural ingredients in Repell-em products are repellent to bugs and animals, but the combination of these ingredients smells very pleasant to humans. Many people say that Repell-em products smell like expensive scented candles!
