Repell-em Blog

Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, such as lemons, apples, citronella, peppermint, rosemary, cloves, geraniums, and a little mineral oil.  There is not a single drop or dot of anything poisonous, and absolutely NO Deet, in any Repell-em product.

Deet can be dangerous, both to human skin and to the environment.  Deet is poisonous, and hazardous if taken internally.  It’s a pesticide, not a repellent.  It’s made of chemicals.

Repell-em is absolutely harmless, even if your child puts it in his mouth.  Repell-em doesn’t even harm the insects or animals; it just REPELS them!

Smart parents don’t keep dangerous poisons in the house, but with Repell-em products, parents don’t need to worry at all about their children getting into the Repell-em.  It won’t hurt them.  And using Repell-em trash bags, tablecloths, and camping extras will actually help keep your children SAFE, because the insects and animals won’t come near them!

I love you, Repell-em!!!!

We eat outside a lot in the summer.  This used to be both wonderful and terrible; the wonderful part was being together and eating lots of great BBQ and corn on the cob, and playing volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.  The terrible part was dealing with the swarms and hordes of insects, that loved it when we ate out, too, and for all the same reasons.

Now, however, I use Repell-em tablecloths and Repell-em trash bags, both indoors and out.  We still have great BBQ and corn on the cob, and we still play volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.   What’s different this summer is the fact that we no longer have to deal with any insects.  Not a one.  Nope.  None.  Zip.  Zero.  NO BUGS!

Repell-em products really do what they promise they’ll do.  They do it well, too.

I can’t even imagine having a picnic without Repell-em products now.

Bonus?  Just cut one edge off your Repell-em tablecloth and cut it into segments.  Tie a segment of Repell-em around each person’s wrist and ankle, and send them off to play in the great summertime outdoors.  The bugs won’t bother them.

You’ve got Repell-em’s word on that.

The little girls next door to me have a treehouse, but they weren’t using it this summer.  I asked their mother why, and she said it had wasps in it!

I’m deathly afraid of wasps, but I hated it that those sweet little girls weren’t able to use their treehouse.  There was no way I was going to knock down the papery wasp-house, but I had another plan.  I wasn’t sure it would work: wasps are pretty powerful bugs, but it was worth a try.

So I got a couple of my Repell-em trash bags, wadded them up so they’d “hurl” better, and hurled them both (tied ‘em to a rock!) through the window of that treehouse.  Within seconds a CLOUD of wasps poured out of that little window, and they never came back.

We waited a few days just to make sure, and then my neighbor’s husband climbed into the treehouse and took down the wasps’ former home.

The girls’ mother festooned the treehouse with Repell-em, and the little girls have been playing up there ever since.

The end.

P.S.  I believe that Repell-em products are one of the grandest inventions of the century.  They haven’t failed me yet.  I wasn’t sure they’d repel WASPS, for heaven’s sake, but they did!

An ideal gift for someone who loves to camp would be package containing Repell-em tablecloths, Repell-em tent mats, and Repell-em tent liners. Throw in a box of Repell-em trash bags, and you’ll have a fantastic gift for the outdoors-loving person in your life!

With Repell-em products at the campsite, there will be no bugs and no animals to tear up your trash and spread it all over the woods. You’ll sleep in comfort because no mosquitoes or any other creepy crawling biting stinging insect will come near you.

If you yourself are an outdoorsy person, or if you have family and friends who love to camp, a box full of Repell-em products would be much appreciated!

Imagine! Camping without clouds of flies and mosquitoes biting and annoying you!

With Repell-em products, that can happen!

My neighbors had a cookout tonight, but they didn’t sit out in the yard for very long.  The wife came over to get some wave primroses and she said the insects had driven them back into the house.

Along with the primroses, I gave her a Repell-em tablecloth and told her that there would be no insects whatsoever the next time they had a cookout.

It’s going to rain tonight, you see, and the humidity always brings the bugs out in full force.  But Repell-em products work no matter what kind of weather you’re dealing with.

Picnic/cookout season has begun, and if everyone would use a Repell-em tablecloth, they’d be able to sit outside and enjoy the BBQ all night long.

Besides, the red tablecloth will really make your table festive.  Independence Day is coming up in just a few weeks, and the red Repell-em products will really dress up your party.

All my life, whenever I packed a picnic basket, by the time it was time to eat, the ants had already found our food.

We usually just flicked them off and ate it anyway, but it would have been nice to NOT have something alive looking back at us before we bit into something.

There are all kinds of products designed to repel ants, of course, but most of them are made of substances that one would definitely NOT want touching food!  Besides being dangerous, they also smell really strong and bad.

Enter Repell-em, with its harmless 100% natural ingredients, its 100% biodegradable material, and its good smell, and you’ve got a picnic basket liner that not only keeps your food dry; it also keeps your food absolutely insect-free!  Throw a Repell-em tablecloth in your basket, and you’ve guaranteed yourselves a picnic lunch that no animal or insect will bother in any way!  Even the flying insects will stay away.

And after you’ve eaten, you can put all your trash in the Repell-em bag and throw it in the back of your car without fear that it will attract bugs or animals!

A Repell-em trash bag or two should be a vital part of any good picnic basket.

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!

I think that, as of right at this moment, I have given some Repell-em trash bags to everyone I know who loves to go camping.  I sent tent mats to my brother and my two nephews, because they like to sleep right on the ground when they camp, and I mailed a Repell-em tablecloth to my sister-in-law, because she lives almost exclusively out on her deck once the weather begins to get warm.

One of my friends had a really good idea about using Repell-em bags in a campground.  He said that when you’re stuck in a campsite close to the public campground bathrooms, the possibility of animal and insect attacks is increased, because animals and insects just naturally gravitate to any area that contains smelly, edible substances.

He recommends substituting Repell-em trash bags for the cheap trash bags that parks tend to use.  This makes the entire park safer and better -smelling not only for your own family’s use but also for the benefit of everybody in the vicinity of the Repell-em bags.

If your local parks occasionally request donations, why not donate some packages of Repell-em trash bags?

Speaking for myself - and my enthusiastic sister-in-law - I would NEVER use any other kind of outdoor tablecloth now that I have seen first-hand what my Repell-em tablecloth can do for me.  Spread that Repell-em cloth on your picnic table and you will be completely rid of flies, ants, bees, raccoons, possums, stray dogs, and pretty much anything that has ever annoyed you while you were trying to eat outdoors.

Repell-em products work no matter what kind of weather you’re having, too.  Even in the hottest, most humid climates, Repell-em products keep on working.  And as long as Repell-em keeps on working, you won’t have to worry about the bugs or the animals bothering your campsite or your family.

Not only are Repell-em products 100% biodegradable, made of 100% natural ingredients, made in America, and absolutely guaranteed to repel insects and most animals, Repell-em products also come in many different forms.

You can buy Repell-em trash bags in two sizes. You can buy Repell-em tent mats and tent liners and tablecloths. Repell-em also makes dog poop bags, and if you’ve ever tried to clean up after your dog with baggies or old shopping bags and had it burst in your hand or smell up the elevator on your way back home, you’ll really appreciate these.

If there is a product you need that isn’t listed, you can custom-order it! Repell-em takes requests. We can even put your own logo on either or both sides of our Eco-Smart products. You can even choose among several different colors for your custom order.

If you buy in bulk, Repell-em will give you an even better deal.

Remember, Repell-em products do far more than what’s on the box: you can cut them up and place them anywhere insects or animals are a pest. Put them in your crawlspace to keep out skunks. Tie a little piece of Repell-em around your wrist and walk in the woods without being bothered by mosquitoes or flies. Fold a piece of Repell-em and put it under your silverwear tray or under a sofa or chair cushion. Hang a piece of Repell-em in your closet to keep the moths away.

With Repell-em bags, you can set your trash outside the night before, so you don’t have to get up at dawn to catch the garbage truck!

Y’all really do need to start putting your garbage out in Repell-em trash bags, because you know how it is. . .

First, it’s your own pets. Then, it’s the neighbor’s dog. Then, the strays and dog packs smell what you’ve set outside and they all come running to get a piece of the buffet.

The next thing you know, wild animals from nearby forests and parks smell the delights inside those cheap trash bags and they come down, defy your fence, and take your trash bags apart to get at that leftover lasagna and the moldy salami you found way in the back of the refrigerator, and bite your arm off if you try to interfere. It’s always something.

Repell-em trash bags haven’t actually been tested on bears yet, but this summer they will undergo the “Bear Test” and I’ll report the findings right here on this blog.

I’m guessing that anybody who camps in Yellowstone or any other park where bears tend to hang out might also benefit from Repell-em Tent Mats and Repell-em Tent Liners. Both of these products are on sale right now, too!

These products have already been tested on insects and smaller animals, and Repell-em products passed with flying colors.

Today is the vernal equinox, by the way. The sun rose this morning EXACTLY in the east and will set tonight EXACTLY in the west. After today and tonight, the sun will be more laid back and less precise in its actions.
