Repell-em Blog

EcoSmart Plastics created Repellem products using all-natural ingredients.  That means that you will be able to use Repellem products even in a house where babies and small children live, because there is nothing whatsoever in any Repellem product that would present a danger of any kind!

Repellem products contain no chemicals or poisons; they do not kill animals and insects - Repellem REPELS animals and insects.  Repellem products will not harm any living thing in any way!

Most household products that keep a home free of insects or unwanted animals must be locked tightly away from curious children, because if such a product fell into a child’s hands it would also end up in a child’s mouth - children are curious, and try to eat almost everything except vegetables, remember.  Even if a child chewed or sucked on a Repellem trash bag or tablecloth, the child would not be harmed in any way.

It is advisable to keep ALL plastic bags out of the reach of tiny children, however, because of the suffocation possibility.

The New Year is here.  This is the first Monday of 2009!  Let us begin, and keep on, with a policy of a cleaner, greener home.

Many of us have resolved to have a cleaner and greener 2009, and one way to begin is to use EcoSmart and Repellem products!

So many household products these days are made of chemicals created in test tubes in laboratories, and we have to be careful to guard our children and our pets from contact with them.  Not so with EcoSmart and Repellem products!!!

EcoSmart and Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients, each ingredient absolutely harmless to all living things.  (Repellem REPELS, it doesn’t kill!)  Your small children are completely safe in a home that uses EcoSmart and Repellem products.  Not only will your home be free of insects; you will not have to worry about babies or toddlers being harmed by contact with dangerous products!  The ingredients in EcoSmart and Repellem are SAFE!!!!

You won’t have to worry about your pets getting into the garbage, either.  With Repellem trash bags, your dogs and cats won’t even know you’ve GOT garbage!  And when you set your full trash bags outdoors, possums and raccoons won’t be able to sense them, either.

Let’s all begin 2009 with a cleaner, greener home!

Don’t forget the Repellem Contest!  It’s still going on, and you’ve got until Valentine’s Day to enter!

You know, as I glanced out my patio doors at my trash bags which were waiting to be taken to the landfill, I realized that the Repellem bags are red, and the EcoSmart bags are green.  The sight made me think of Christmas.  Together, they represent the very best that a clean, green home can be.

Both bags are made of 100% natural ingredients, and both bags are completely biodegradable.  Both bags keep your home safe from insects and vermin, and neither bag, powerful as they are, is a safety threat to your children.  In fact, your children are SAFER in a home that uses EcoSmart and Repellem products.

I really like my neighbor’s Christmas use of her Repellem bags.

Do any of you have an interesting use for your Repellem products?  If you do, please let us know.  Your idea might be prize-worthy!

We here at EcoSmart love to give our commenters prizes.

Happy Holidays from everyone here at EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem!

Remember, with a Repellem tablecloth or trash bag under your tree skirt, or with a red Repellem-wrapped box mingling with your other gifts, your pets will not bother your Christmas tree, nor will insects attack your real evergreen tree.  Repellem strives to make your home clean and green, and to keep your family safe from insects and vermin.

We here at EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem hope that everyone drives carefully, arrives safely, and has a safe and wonderful holiday!  We thank you for your business, and hope to see more of you!

I gave my neighbor a box of Repellem tall kitchen trash bags, and she’s now madly in love with the product.  I told her how the Repellem tablecloth under my tree kept the cats away from it, and she did me one better:  she wrapped an empty box in bright red Repellem, stuck a big white bow on it,  and put it under her tree with the rest of the gifts.  That smallish Repellem-wrapped box is sufficient to keep all the rest of her gifts AND her tree safe from her curious dogs.  She has two small children, and wanted some kind of repellant product that was 100% safe to use around kids.  Repellem certainly fits that description!

Repellem isn’t noticeable at ALL. That bright red box now blends right in with her other gifts.

Repellem has a hundred million different uses, and each one works like a charm,  and each one looks fine, and each one is sturdy and strong. What more could anyone ask of a piece of plastic?

Remember, too, that if you have a real evergreen tree, Repellem will also keep the insects away from it and out of it.

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.

P.S.  Remember, our fantastic EcoSmart Blog Contest will be running until Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2009.  If you haven’t signed up already, please do it now!

My deck used to be almost unusable, because that’s where we tossed our full trash bags.  After a day or two - sometimes, within minutes - the possums and raccoons caught scent of our garbage and descended on the deck like piranha, tearing those cheap white trash bags to pieces, feasting on the smelly garbage, and leaving the deck covered with shreds of white plastic and whatever  garbage even the animals didn’t want.  Sitting out on the deck, in the swing, became an ordeal.  Besides, we never felt that the deck was really clean or even safe, because of all those animals swarming over it in the night.  Sometimes, even in the day!

With EcoSmart’s Repellem trash bags, though,  I really feel that my deck is clean.  I still toss my filled trash bags out there in their own little corner at night, but in the morning, lo and behold, those bulging trash bags, still full of smelly goodness (if you’re a raccoon, that is) are intact.  Untouched.

My deck is clean.

I don’t have to worry about the children stepping in visible - or invisible- possum poo.  I don’t have to crawl on my hands and knees, picking up bones and shreds of plastic.

I feel safer and cleaner.  My entire home feels safer and cleaner.

Greener, too, since Repellem trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely biodegradable.

I feel as though I’m helping to keep the entire planet cleaner and greener when I use Repellem products.

In fact, I feel secure in stating that if everyone used EcoSmart’s Repellem products, the entire planet WOULD be cleaner, greener, and a lot safer.

When people search for products that help make a home clean and green, trash bags are not usually one of the first things that come to mind.

However, when you think about it, the trash is where strong, smelly things live, and those strong smelling things attract insects and animals.  Put strong smelly things in an inferior trash bag, and you’re spreading a buffet for every bug and critter in the neighborhood.

However, if you put strong smelly things in a Repellem trash bag, insects and animals will behave as though they didn’t even notice.  That’s because they DON’T notice.  The ingredients in Repellem products really do repel.

So go ahead and set your trash outside the night before it’s picked up.  You an’t do that with a Hefty bag, but you sure can do it with a Repell-em trash bag!

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?
