Repell-em Blog

I was almost out of Repell-em trash bags today! This is a disaster, especially in the summer when the bugs are at their peak, and I knew if I ordered them online as I usually do, they wouldn’t get here before I ran out!

I always get my Repell-em products in approximately three days, which is FAST SERVICE, but I also knew I had only two bags left and I had to do something. There is NO WAY I’m going to use an inferior trash bag after discovering how fantastic Repell-em bags are!

I knew that I could buy Repell-em products at Cabela’s, but there isn’t one in this town. However, Repell-em products are worth driving a few miles for, so that’s what I did this afternoon.

When I asked the Cabela’s clerk where the Repell-em bags were, he told me and then he said, “A lot of people are asking for those; I’ll have to try them myself!”

I told him that would be a very smart move on his part. I know I’ll never use any other kind of trash bag again.

Well, naturally, you can buy all of the Repell-em products right here on the Repell-em website. They’re still on sale, too.

More and more stores are putting Repell-em products on their shelves now. Cabela’s has been selling Repell-em bags for quite a while now, and starting this July, TruServ in Canada and many California counties will begin using Repell-em products as well. Lowe’s will be testing the Repell-em Eco-smart bags in a sampling of 100 or more stores in July, too.

You might say that July 2008 is going to be a very important month for Repell-em!

Let’s all start asking WalMart, K-Mart, Target, Meier, Ben Franklin, TruValue, and any other popular store to start carrying Repell-em products. I think they’d FLY off the shelves!

My daughter drove all the way down here today to “borrow” four Repell-em trash bags from me.  (I think I know what I’m getting her for her birthday this summer!)

She’s going to be out of town, and wants to set her trash out the night before instead of the morning of.  She can’t do that with regular trash bags because of all the dogs, cats, raccoons, and possums in her apartment complex.

That’s right; you heard me.  In southern Indiana, there are raccoons and possums  even in the city.  They’re everywhere. There is no escape from them.  And if you don’t play your cards right, they will tear into your garbage and spread it everywhere, causing you great hardship and even harsh fines if you don’t get it cleaned up absolutely right away.

My daughter doesn’t want to save her garbage for a week, and I don’t blame her - I raised her to not like to dwell in the midst of garbage - hence her 30-mile drive to get the Repell-em bags.

Where she’s going, there is a big Cabela’s,  so she plans to buy herself a package of Repell-em bags there.  I always order mine off the website, but Cabela’s does carry them.

(They’re on sale, on the website, right now!)

Need a great gift for a Boy/Girl Scout? How about a tent mat that repels insects and animals? I used to camp out a lot when I was in Scouts, and I loved it, all but the bugs. I would wake up in the morning covered with itchy mosquito bites, and that was bad enough, but the occasional spider bites and “mystery bites” were often painful. I hated those bugs. I also hated the raccoons and possums and squirrels, etc, that would sneak into the campsite and even inside my tent in the night and help themselves to my candy bars and marshmallows.

If I’d had a Repell-em tent mat, I could have enjoyed a great night’s sleep out in the great outdoors and I wouldn’t have had to worry about getting bitten and attacked by the wildlife while I slept. It would also have been a lot more comfortable than putting my sleeping bag down on the hard ground.

If you’ve got a child who is a Scout, think about ordering some Repell-em tent mats. If you are a Scout leader, do more than just think about it. Nobody likes to be eaten alive by insects, and nobody likes to toss and turn all night on lumpy ground. With a Repell-em tent mat, both problems are solved!

You can buy most Repell-em products at most large Cabela’s stores, or you can order them online.

I have cats, and no matter how many scratching boards I hang from the doorknobs, the truth is that cats prefer furniture over anything you can buy at the pet department of WalMart when it comes to scratching.

I’ve tried special sprays and sachets that were guaranteed to keep the cats off the furniture. They didn’t work. The cats simply clawed a few inches away from the sachet, and they seemed to LOVE the sprays. It was a waste of money.

However, there IS a way to keep both cats AND dogs off your nice furniture, and it doesn’t cost nearly as much as specialty pet store stuff.

Repell-em trash bags are perfect for this. Just take one trash bag and cut it into pieces about a foot square, and put a square under each sofa and chair cushion. Nobody can see them; they won’t harm your upholstery; they don’t smell bad - in fact, they smell really, really nice! - and your pets won’t come within a yard of your nice chairs and couches! Seriously, this is WAY cheaper than those pet sprays, etc, and the Repell-em bags are more eco-friendly, too.

If you are tired of having your expensive furniture end up looking like this picture, get some Repell-em trash bags today. They’re far more than merely the BEST TRASH BAGS in the UNIVERSE.

Buy them online - it’s easy to do - or grab some at Cabela’s. Soon, you’ll be able to buy Repell-em products at most good sporting goods stores.

Many people would love to camp more, but the insects are such a problem that it’s easier and less itchy just to stay home. People with insect allergies are also kept home by the prospect of bug bites. The perfect gift for these wannabee outdoorsmen is almost any product by Repell-em!

With Repell-em trash bags, tent liners, and tablecloths, no insect will come near your campsite and people who have not been able to live the outdoor life for years can safely sits around a campfire, eat at a picnic table, and sleep in a tent.

Repell-em products will also keep the stray dogs away, as well as more dangerous animals such as skunks, raccoons, and possums.

Don’t worry about hurting the environment with Repell-em products, either; Repell-em takes great pride in being environmentally safe. We just know how to outsmart the pests!

You can order Repell-em products online, and you can also find them at many major stores that cater to the outdoorsy crowd, such as Cabela’s.
