All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'Bug-free picnics' Category

DSCF2129Look closely at my tomato garden and you will see that each tomato cage has been wound with a strip of Repell-em, and between the scent, the ends waving in the breeze, and the large Repell-em piece acting as a scarecrow there on the end, I really believe we’re going to get some tomatoes for ourselves this year.

I don’t have to worry about “insect repellent” touching my food and contaminating it in any way, because Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless.

The cats were used to playing in that railroad flat all winter, and it’s really funny to watch them go running toward it and then stop short, look around with a bewildered expression, and then turn and walk away.  The deer have been using that garden patch as a salad bar all winter, but now that there is actual food in it, they behave as though they can’t even see or smell it.  That’s because they can’t.  The EcoSmartPlastics Repellem strips have rendered my tomatoes unplottable!

Here’s a closer shot of a few tomato cages, so you can see in greater detail what I’ve done with the strips of Repell-em. It’s nothing fancy, obviously, but so far it’s working like a charm!

There are so many uses for your Repell-em products. So far, every experiment I’ve done with them has been successful!

All the climate scientists are reminding us that this summer’s batch of insects is the worst in a long, long time, but EcoSmartPlastics Repellem can ensure that your cookouts and picnics are bug-free, too.  And if you go for a pleasant summer walk, make it even more pleasant by tying a strip of Repellem around your ankle and wrist.  You’ll stroll absolutely unmolested by mosquitoes, gnats, chiggers, and any other summer blood-sucking pest.

EcoSmart Repellem products are almost like magic; they work so well, and are completely harmless.  Amazing!

. . . and grilling time means outdoors time.  This extra-humid and extra-pollen-ish summer has more than its share of happy and excited bugs, but when we had a cookout this past weekend, we weren’t bothered a bit by insects - not a single, tiny bit.

We didn’t use any dangerous bug sprays or smelly candles, either.  It’s not good to use poisons around food, pets, or children, and a typical cookout has all three.  All we did was put an Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem tablecloth on both round deck tables, and a couple of Repellem trash bags in the wastebaskets.  We’d need tablecloths and trash bags anyway; why not use the best: products that not only serve their usual purpose, but also keep away almost every kind of insect imaginable?

Our cooking could have been plagued with insects, attracted by the sweat, blood, and smells of the cooking food, but it wasn’t.  We didn’t have to sit at the table eating with one hand and swatting bugs away with the other.

We didn’t have to sit and put up with the overwhelming odor of anti-bug skin sprays or citronella candles, either.  All we smelled was food.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products are versatile and so very, very useful.  Why put up with insects at your picnic when you can keep them away with a tablecloth?  Why put up with mice and roaches in your kitchen trash can when you can keep them away with a trash bag?

I have used Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products ever since I first heard of them several years ago.  They are far superior to any other kind of plastic product I’ve ever used, and they are the ONLY ones that keep away insects and wild animals.   100% biodegradable and made of 100% natural products, Repellem tablecloths and trash bags will turn your buggy summers into insect-free vacations.

It’s spring, and the weather has been just simply beautiful in southern Indiana these past few days!  We got out the lawn chairs, hosed them off, and set them out on the deck to dry.  We had no sooner turned our backs to go back inside than we heard a buzzing sound.  Turning around, we saw that the bees had discovered our water-soaked chairs.

We have kids and pets, so we don’t use dangerous chemicals or sprays.  However, since we discovered Ecosmartplastics Repellem, we don’t need to.

Tim went outside and tied a strip of Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bag to the back legs of each lawn chair.

Within minutes, the bees were gone.  Oh, they were still alive, and busy fertilizing flowers and fruit trees and going about their beesiness, but they were no longer on our deck keeping us from sitting in our own chairs.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-Smartbag products are the most effective and earth-friendly products you can use, for they keep all insects and small animals away, but their 100% natural ingredients and 100% recyclability make them environmentally safe.

Don’t worry about a small child or pet chewing on the Repellem strips, either; they’re completely harmless.

 You can find Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-Smartbag products at these fine stores and websites.

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

There are more uses than these for Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products; check this blog each month for updates!  In the meantime, check our archives for all kinds of ways these products can be used.

Summer is camping time, and whether you’re going on a long-term serious camping trip or just putting up a tent in the back yard for the kids, camping is great!

However, sleeping outside brings another problem:  bugs.

This problem can be solved by using EcoSmart Repellem’s tent mats and covers, along with the trash bags and tablecloths.

Spread a tent mat underneath your tent’s floor, and spread another over the top of your tent.  Now you’re protected from almost every kind of insect and animal that exists!  You’re also protected from the rain!

Wouldn’t it be a lot more pleasant to camp with EcoSmart Repellem products?  You wouldn’t have to worry about insects or animals - while you’re sleeping AND while you’re eating around the campfire.

Your family would be a lot safer and less itchy if you included EcoSmart Repellem products in your gear.

It’s been a lovely day today: sunny and breezy and very, very hot.  The heat doesn’t bother me, but the bugs drive me CRAZY!

Why, then, was I sitting outside on my deack?

Because I had an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on my outdoor table, and there WERE NO BUGS.  Not one.

No mosquitoes.  No flies.  No gnats.  No wasps.  No ants.  No chigger bites on the two borrowed neighbor toddlers.

This is especially significant because we were eating canteloupe at that outdoor table, and we left the juicy rinds outside while we went to water the rosebushes.

When we got back to the mess on the table, there were still no insects of any kind on that mushy, slushy, strong-smelling (Y’all know what canteloupe smells like!)  pile of ickiness on our four plates.

I cleaned up the mess, threw it into an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag along with our supper leftovers, which included several corncobs and some chicken bones.  In an ordinary trash bag, this would have been an animal’s and an insect’s dream-come-true, but that trash bag has been sitting outside on the deck for hours now and nothing has touched it.

Oh, and those less-than-half-price EcoSmart Repellem trash bags I ordered from Cabela’s last Monday?  They arrived in three days.  THREE DAYS.  Whatta deal.

I went on a picnic today with my old high school girlfriends and our husbands.  Our state park shelter was open on two sides, and all around us were other shelters with large groups in them, too.

Funny thing, though. . . . all the other people in the park were slapping at mosquitoes and spraying smelly hazardous repellants on themselves and on their children.  Heaven only knows what their food tasted like after being so close to such strong-smelling stuff!

But in our park shelter, my friends and I were NOT slapping at mosquitoes.  We didn’t even have any ants!  There were no nasty odors from strong poisonous sprays at our picnic table.  The only time one of us got bitten was when a couple of the husbands walked across the parking lot to get something out of the car.

What was the difference between our picnic setup and everybody else’s?  Simple.  We had an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on our table, and two EcoSmart Repellem trash bags hanging off the ends of the unused table in our shelter.

And, we had no bugs.  Nope, not one.  I recommend EcoSmart Repellem products to all of you this summer, for your picnics, and for your general day-by-day living.  “No bugs” is nice, and extends to your home if you use EcoSmart Repellem products there, too.

I do.   Wouldn’t be without them!

EcoSmart Repellem tablecloths are IDEAL for those outdoor barbecues and picnics, whether you’re camping or just eating out on your own deck.  In case you haven’t noticed, the wasps are out in full force now, and so are the flies, gnats, ants, and all kinds of annoying, nasty little bugs.  Whenever you step outside, it’s almost as though you were a bug magnet!  And if you are trying to eat outside, well, bugs like to eat, too!  How annoying!

Unless, of course, you’ve got an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on your picnic table or deck table. With Repell-em at your picnic, you’ll be able to concentrate on the food and the company, and not have to worry about being annoyed and bitten. Don’t worry about the ingredients in Repell-em harming your kids or contaminating your food, either; Repell-em products are made of 100 natural ingredients and are absolutely harmless to people.

Your EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth will also keep the raccoons, possums, squirrels, and other animals away from your deck or picnic site.

You can use each EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth several times, too.  That’s green!
