Repell-em Blog

Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to have an end-of-the-summer cookout!  And while it might be very true that this time of year is very hot and humid in many areas (here, for example) and that insects love to crawl, fly, and hover around anything they perceive as “edible” at any time and especially so in weather conditions like these, with an EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem trash bag and tablecloth at your picnic, you’ll have nothing whatsoever to worry about.

Try it yourself.  Remember, Ants, gnats, flies, and bees can smell your fried chicken and potato salad from miles away, and they tend to pass the word along to all of their friends, and what does that mean? It means you’re sharing your chocolate cake and lemonade with bugs.

Of course, if you’re using a Repell-em tablecloth on your outdoor table, you won’t have to worry about bugs at all. Even if they smell your food, they won’t come near it because the tablecloth REPELS them.

Don’t worry about any “dangerous” pesticides or poisons in the tablecloth, either. That tablecloth is so safe, you could lay your chicken leg right on it and spoon your baked beans from it and you’d be just fine. Your mom would smack your hand for being rude, but you’d deserve it. The point is, you wouldn’t suffer ANY effects from it! Other than what your mom doles out, that is.

Repell-em products are all-natural, remember? There is nothing in them that could hurt a human in any way. They smell GOOD to humans, too.

It’s just the animal kingdom that finds Repell-em products repulsive. That’s a GOOD thing!

Not only are EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products extremely effective at keeping almost any bug or animal away, the products are also sturdy and strong, and can be used and re-used many times.  For example, we’re cooking out tomorrow, and the bright red Repellem tablecloth we’ll be using has already been used twice for our summer cookouts.  In other words, not only is the plastic super strong, the repellant that’s in it is also super strong, and lasts for weeks.

Bon appetite, y’all.  And a bug-free Labor Day cookout to you all.

. . . and grilling time means outdoors time.  This extra-humid and extra-pollen-ish summer has more than its share of happy and excited bugs, but when we had a cookout this past weekend, we weren’t bothered a bit by insects - not a single, tiny bit.

We didn’t use any dangerous bug sprays or smelly candles, either.  It’s not good to use poisons around food, pets, or children, and a typical cookout has all three.  All we did was put an Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem tablecloth on both round deck tables, and a couple of Repellem trash bags in the wastebaskets.  We’d need tablecloths and trash bags anyway; why not use the best: products that not only serve their usual purpose, but also keep away almost every kind of insect imaginable?

Our cooking could have been plagued with insects, attracted by the sweat, blood, and smells of the cooking food, but it wasn’t.  We didn’t have to sit at the table eating with one hand and swatting bugs away with the other.

We didn’t have to sit and put up with the overwhelming odor of anti-bug skin sprays or citronella candles, either.  All we smelled was food.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products are versatile and so very, very useful.  Why put up with insects at your picnic when you can keep them away with a tablecloth?  Why put up with mice and roaches in your kitchen trash can when you can keep them away with a trash bag?

I have used Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products ever since I first heard of them several years ago.  They are far superior to any other kind of plastic product I’ve ever used, and they are the ONLY ones that keep away insects and wild animals.   100% biodegradable and made of 100% natural products, Repellem tablecloths and trash bags will turn your buggy summers into insect-free vacations.

The prediction for the summer of 2010 is formidable:  more pollen than most people can remember, more humidity than we’ve seen in years, and more bugs.  A lot more bugs.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem can’t do anything about the pollen or the humidity, but if you use these fantastic products, you certainly won’t have to worry about or deal with the bugs!

Already, in the evenings, there’s a haze of those disgusting little biting midges, but on my deck, there are none.  My deck is like an island of purity on these spring nights, which are, in southern Indiana, already muggy and buzzy.  The neighborhood cats are starting to hang out on our big deck swing, so they don’t have to nap amidst the bugs!

How did I do this?  What complicated procedure did I use to make my deck so pleasant and insect-free?  Oh, it was difficult, all right.  I tied two Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags around the sidebars of the swing.

That’s all.  No poisons, no sprays, no traps.  Just two red Repellem trash bags tied around the swing.  I’ll change them every two weeks or so, all summer long.  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem, I don’t have to worry about the cats chewing on them - animals don’t like to get too near a Repellem products - or toddlers chewing on them - Repellem products are 100% natural, recyclable, and GREEN, even though they’re red. 

Harmless to all living things, Repellem simply repels.  It doesn’t kill.

My deck will be bug-free all summer.  Yours can be, too.  Order your Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags here.

It’s spring, and the weather has been just simply beautiful in southern Indiana these past few days!  We got out the lawn chairs, hosed them off, and set them out on the deck to dry.  We had no sooner turned our backs to go back inside than we heard a buzzing sound.  Turning around, we saw that the bees had discovered our water-soaked chairs.

We have kids and pets, so we don’t use dangerous chemicals or sprays.  However, since we discovered Ecosmartplastics Repellem, we don’t need to.

Tim went outside and tied a strip of Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bag to the back legs of each lawn chair.

Within minutes, the bees were gone.  Oh, they were still alive, and busy fertilizing flowers and fruit trees and going about their beesiness, but they were no longer on our deck keeping us from sitting in our own chairs.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-Smartbag products are the most effective and earth-friendly products you can use, for they keep all insects and small animals away, but their 100% natural ingredients and 100% recyclability make them environmentally safe.

Don’t worry about a small child or pet chewing on the Repellem strips, either; they’re completely harmless.

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

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!

With a real evergreen tree, there will be real insects; it’s just a fact.  Bring that real tree into your house, and the insects will come with it.

One of the best ways to get those bugs off your tree is to use Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!  Get a Repellem trash bag or tablecloth and cut it into ribbon lengths.  At intervals, all over the tree, tie a festive red Christmas bow and let the streamers hang down.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone!  Your Christmas tree will be a work of art, and you won’t EVER have to worry about insects crawling or flying out of the tree onto a child, or into someone’s food.

The Repellem ribbons will also guarantee that your other pets will not bother your Christmas tree.  Got a cat?  A dog?  You won’t have to worry about leaving your pets alone with your decorated Christmas tree if your tree has been decorated with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!

With a piece of Repellem under the tree skirt and Repellem ribbons festooning the tree itself, your home will be all set for a clean, safe, green, insect-free holiday season!  The Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem effects will last all through the season; you won’t need to change the ribbons or underskirt at all!

Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products do so many things; they’re some of the most VERSATILE products I’ve ever used, in fact.

When I use any Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag product, I’m doing far more than just keeping my home cleaner, greener, and almost entirely insect and rodent-free; I’m also helping to save the planet!  Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are 100% recyclable, and made of 100% natural ingredients, too!  Repellem repels most insects and rodents without using poisons, or anything dangerous; you can use Repellem products even in close contact with young children!  The only thing to watch for, naturally, is that your child does not play with ANY plastic product because of the danger of suffocation.  With Repellem, however, there is NO danger of poisoning!

But, what has Repellem done for me lately?  Plenty!  It’s ladybug beetle season in Indiana.

My neighbors’ windows are covered with ladybug beetles this time of year, but mine aren’t.  Did I have my windows sprayed, or treated with expensive repellant?  Nope.

I just tucked a little piece of Repellem in the bottom corner of the window, and VOILA!  No ladybugs!

Early spring and late fall, the ladybug beetles show up in droves, and cover any warm slick surface they can find.  In most homes, the beetles are all over the place!  But not MY home.  Repell-em keeps my home safe from insects, and ladybug beetles are only a little part of that.  I have two cats, but no fleas or ticks.  As I type, my kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes, but there are no gnats.  There won’t be any mice, either.

Repell-em keeps my home safe from “intruders” like these, and Repell-em will keep YOUR home safe, too.

Yes, I know I need to wash my windows.  I’ll get around to it.
