Repell-em Blog

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.

This is a red Repell-em tablecloth. If I were you, I’d go here and buy some right now, before the warm weather arrives and stays, because if you sit outdoors at all, or eat outdoors at all, you’ll want a tablecloth that keeps all the insects away, won’t you?

It’s so nice to sit outdoors on the deck, or in the yard, with a lemonade or a margarita or a diet Coke, but bees and gnats and flies like those drinks, too. Most of the time, when you sit outdoors in the spring or summer warmth, with a glass full of sugary substance in your hand, you’re just asking for a swarm of bugs.

If you’ve got an open can of pop or beer, it can even be dangerous, because bees and wasps love those drinks so much, they’ll alight on the can and crawl inside before you know what’s happening, and when you try to drink, the insects bite or sting you on the mouth.

But with your attractive red Repell-em tablecloth on the outdoor table, you can set your drink down beside your plate of food or your open bag of chips, etc, and feel safe and secure in the knowledge that no living thing be it insect or mammal will come anywhere NEAR you or your refreshments, thanks to Repell-em.

Don’t be afraid to eat and drink near Repell-em products, either. Remember, they are made of 100% natural ingredients, completely harmless to humans.

I’m on Spring Break this week, so even though there’s still a little snow on my deck, I’m already looking forward to cleaning that deck, getting out the summer furniture, and sitting there looking at the beautiful woods behind my house, with a bag of Lay’s Potato Chips and a can of diet Coke, and not having to watch them every minute to make sure there are no insects crawling or flying around them.

Safe, safe, safe. NO INSECTS!!!!

I’ve used enough Repell-em products by now, personally, that I feel absolutely confident in any claim they make.

This tablecloth is 100% repellent to all insects and icky animals who like to lick our food, yet you can safely eat any food that falls on the tablecloth. It’s made of peppermint, and citronella, and rosemary, and clove, and geranium, and lemons, and apples, and mineral oil. No wonder Repell-em products smell so good to humans!

Something unforseen happened to the Repell-em trash bag that’s been sitting out on my deck for well over a week. My husband didn’t realize that I was conducting an experiment, and after possums tore into the Glad and Hefty bags and scattered garbage and trash all over the deck late last night, he swept it all up and put it, plus the Repell-em bag, in the back of his truck and took it all to the dump.

I can tell you that even after all this time, the Repell-em bag was still untouched, but I have no picture to show you because the Repell-em bag is now at the county dump, where I have no doubts whatsoever that it’s still intact, and still repelling animals who consider the dump a four-star restaurant.

I have never tried a new product that I liked as much as I like Repell-em products. Not only does everything Repell-em work beautifully when used as directed -trash bags as trash bags, eg - but they also have countless other uses as well! Sure, you can put your garbage in them, but you can also hang a Repell-em bag in your closet to keep out moths and mice; you can put a folded Repell-em bag under your silverware tray to keep out ants and roaches, and you can store suits and evening dresses in Repell-em bags to keep them fresh and moth-free.

Repell-em bags keep away spiders and bees and mosquitoes. The Repell-em tablecloths are perfect for a completely insect-free outdoor meal, and so safe, you can still eat any food that might drop off your fork onto the table!

Tomorrow, I’ll bag up the leftover beef stew, cornbread, and empty out all those pizza boxes, and throw the corncobs in a new Repell-em bag and begin experimenting again. I bought some new brands of trash bags at Wal-Mart tonight, to add to the Hefty and Glad bags. I have a feeling that the Repell-em bags are going to out-perform them ALL!

The Repell-em Contest is over, and here are our winners!

First Prize - $75.00 in Repell-em products - goes to Melissa of Pennsylvania. Melissa impressed us with her poetry:

Insects, animals, pests, and more, Will do whatever they can to get in my door.

I try and I try to keep them away, But it seems they are here forever to stay.

They make me squirm, itch, and twitch; I wish I could chase them away with no hitch.

I found this cool site while surfing one day; Repell-em products will make them go away.

So I ordered a case and got ’em sent to my home; No more bugs and animals around my house shall roam!

No more ants at my picnic, no more raccoons in the trash; Repell-em products work - for not much cash.

Now I am happy as can be. Thanks, Repellem, for saving me!

Thank you, Melissa, for entering the Repell-em Contest. Enjoy your winnings!

Second Prize - $50.00 in Repell-em products - goes to Doug, the Boy Scout Leader. Doug told us, in his comment, that “I think Repell-em products are cool because as a Boy Scout leader who participates in most of the camping, I like the campsite to be as comfortable as possible to everyone. The Scouts can have greater satisfaction in their outdoor experience with fewer bugs around. A more satisfying experience means the longer the young adults will participate in the program. The longer they participate, the more character building occurs. So Repell-em can help build character in youth and shape the future of this country!”

Thank you, Doug, for entering the Repell-em Contest. We hope you enjoy your winnings, too!

Third Prize - $25.00 in Repell-em products - goes to Patricia, who never goes camping without Repell-em! Here is what she had to say: “We don’t go camping without Repell-em bags. They are perfect for after-meal clean-up, and we don’t have to worry about the raccoons at night. I feel better knowing that MY little critters are safe from toxic fumes. My daughters know that we are helping the environment by choosing biodegradable bags. So, everyone is happy.”

Thank you, Patricia. We’re glad you entered our contest, and we hope you enjoy your winnings, too.
