It’s a bright, brand-new year, and why not begin it with a clean, green home!

One way to help keep your home safe, clean, and green is by using EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products.   Insects and unwelcome animals won’t even be tempted to enter your home if your wastebaskets and trash bags are lined with Repellem bags, or if your tablecloths have a Repellem tablecloth under them.

Put a Repellem bag or tablecloth in each closet and you’ll never have spiders in your shoes.  Make sure your baby’s room has a Repellem bag in the wastebasket and diaper pail, and you’ll never have to worry about bugs or mice in there.  Put a piece of Repellem plastic under the silverware tray in your kitchen and you’ll never have to worry about ants.  Line your cat’s litterbox with Repellem and you’ll never find bugs in there.  Your cats will still use the box, but they won’t linger long enough to make a mess OUTSIDE the box!

Put a piece of Repellem on the bottom of your laundry hamper.  Put some Repellem under your sofa cushions.

It might be right smack in the middle of winter, but spring is right around the corner, and spring means bugs and mice.

Not if you’re a Repellem home, though!

School has started by now, no matter what part of the country you might live in, and if your children haven’t brought home those long lists of classroom supplies yet, you might want to check their backpacks for it because it’s time.

Remember that our public schools are experiencing genuine budget crunches, and those lists of basic classroom supplies are the difference between our kids having well-equipped classrooms and our kids using a stick and a patch of mud.

Your child’s teacher would really appreciate it if you included some EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem trash bags along with the crayons and glue sticks.  Where there are lots of little kids, there will be bugs, and anything we can do to help keep our classrooms clean and safe is going to be greatly appreciated by the teachers and by the parents of the other children, too.

So why not send a couple of boxes of EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products to school this year.  Your child is in that room, too, remember.  You want that classroom to be as clean and safe as possible, and Repellem products will help that happen.

We live in town now, and on Trash Day, our small street is often littered with other people’s trash. The dogs who live here consider Trash Day to be Buffet Day, and the sights and smells from other people’s trash is just too much for their pets.

Our trash is never bothered, though. Now, our trash is just as gross and smelly as yours, but the difference is this: We use Ecosmart Repellem trash bags, and this means several great things.

First, we never have to worry about animals ripping into our trash and scattering it all up and down the street. Repellem products don’t harm animals, but they do repel them. Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients which combine to produce an aura that tells animals to “move along; there’s nothing you want here.” Seriously.

Put an expensive Glad or Hefty trash bag full of smelly garbage out on the street and the local dogs will come running. Put a Repellem trash bag full of the same smelly trash out on the street, and it will still be there, untouched and pristine, hours later. Repellem products can’t be smelled or perceived by animals. Period. And by “animals,” I also mean insects.

The other day, several small children playing in a yard were stung badly by wasps that had been buzzing around a torn trash bag. If this family had used Repellem bags, wasps would not have been found anywhere NEAR their yard.

Safety. Cleanliness. GREEN safety and cleanliness. Absolutely safe. Genuinely clean. Totally green.

Only Ecosmart Repellem products can promise all of the above.

Rumor has it that the coming summer is going to be an extra-hot one, and when the summer is extra hot, the insects are extra-populous.

An excess of bugs means a lot of bugs competing for your sweat, your pets, and your potato salad.

With animals and children in the house, you don’t want to use sprays, poisons, traps, or anything that might harm – or worse – a child or a pet.  You don’t want to use anything in your home that will contaminate your surfaces or your food.

With all of this in mind, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are exactly what you need to keep your home safer, cleaner, and greener.

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are made of 100% biodegradable, 100% safe, 100% natural materials; there is nothing in our products that is harmful to humans or animals.

Animals and insects are, however, absolutely repelled by Repellem.  They won’t come near your family or your home, and this will make your house even cleaner and safer!

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are the ideal animal and insect repellants for your precious home and your even more precious family.

Order yours today, before the hot weather hits!

Tired of giving the same kind of gift year after year? Well, why not depart from tradition somewhat this time, and give your family and friends something that they will not only USE, but also benefit by?

Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem products will help keep your loved ones’ homes or businesses cleaner, safer, and free from insects and vermin!

Repellem trash bags are a fabulous gift for a daycare director, or your child’s teacher, for example. Our trash bags will help ensure that small children can crawl and play SAFELY on the floor, and that even areas that are hard to keep clean – small children do that, you know – you won’t have to worry about ants, roaches, or mice.

Another great quality of Repellem bags is their safety; the bags are made of 100% recyclable materials, and are also 100% safe, even if a child tries to eat one!

Here is a complete list of what Repellem bags are composed of, in case you’re wondering.

A box or two – or a case – of Repellem trash bags would be a much-appreciated gift for anyone who doesn’t really want bugs or mice, and isn’t that everybody you know?

Your kids are bringing home long lists of needed school supplies, both for themselves and for the classroom in general.

While you’re filling that bag with tissues, scissors, hand sanitizer, and other items to be used and shared in your child’s classroom, why not add a box or two of EcoSmart Plastics Repellem Trash Bags?

Classrooms are full of people, washed and unwashed.  Classrooms are full of packed lunches – can you hear the cockroaches and flies cheering?  Classrooms are full of sandaled feet – moist toejam, anyone?  A typical classroom is a veritable buffet of delights for insects and mice!

Let me sum up, as they say in The Princess Bride:  Your children’s classrooms need EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem trash bags probably more than your kitchen does, and we already know your kitchen needs them DESPERATELY.

Send a couple of Repellem boxes to school, maybe with a note explaining their awesome usefulness to the teacher – and we’re betting you’ll be the most popular family on this year’s roster!

Not only will EcoSmart Plastics Repellem trash bags and other products prevent animals from sensing and therefore tearing up and making a mess of your garbage, your Repellem bags will also keep the bugs away.

We had a cookout on the 4th, and everyone commented about the complete and total lack of insects buzzing around us out on the deck. Well, it was because of the trash bags that accumulated as the cookout progressed. With EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products, you won’t ever have to use dangerous insect repellents that contain poisons; your Repellem tablecloth and the bags of cookout trash will take care of the bug problem.

There are so many reasons why I use EcoSmart Repellem products in my home, but one of them is that I can use them safely around my children, and around food, as Repellem products contain only natural ingredients that are 100% harmless to both. And while the cats and dog stay away when Repellem products are in use, the products won’t harm my pets, either.

Everybody is outdoors a lot in summer, and it’s so nice to be able to BE outdoors and not have to worry about batting away the insects all the time.

This is been the wettest, rainiest, stormiest spring in living memory, and with the moisture come the bugs.  Bugs love wet.  Bugs love humidity.Just mowing the grass, in the bright sunshine, the gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and you-name-it come out in droves, sensing fresh blood.  You can spray your body with expensive chemicals and the bugs will just gnaw around it.However, there’s a way to spend some outdoor time without risking dangerous smelly chemicals.  It’s easy. Just tie a strip of EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem around your ankle, and the bugs will give you a wide berth.    Tie a few strips around sticks and place them in your garden, and your tomatoes will be bug-free, too.On your deck, tie some Repellem strips here and there on the posts, and you can sit on your swing or cook out without constantly batting the bugs away.  There will BE no bugs.EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are wonderful in any season, but in the hot, humid summer weather you’ll be even more grateful that you’ve got ‘em!They’re absolutely 100% safe to use on your tiny children, too.

Even though the snow is still coming down in many areas of the country, the sun is shining more and more and the spring bulbs are trying to punch through the cold soil in many other places.  No matter where you hang your hat, though, it will soon be time to hang your winter coats away, too.

For the past several years, I’ve been storing our heavy winter coats in individual EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem trash bags, and we have never seen a single moth in my house.

The horror of opening a closet door and seeing a handful of those tiny clothes moths flutter out will not happen here.  My Repellem trash bags will not allow it!

So go ahead and pack away your winter woolens and wrap your package in Repellem trash bags or tablecloths; you’ll save both money and aggravation.  Your home will be cleaner, too, with no insects, living or dead, to mess with.  Your home will also be safer and greener, as EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products are 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% safe and natural ingredients.  No poisons or dangerous chemicals whatsover.

As for those bedbugs so many people are seeing and getting upset over. . . . I’ve never seen a single bedbug in my house.  I think they’re scared of Repellem products, too.
