All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'environmentally safe products' Category

I’ve only got a few Repell-em trash bags left, so it’s off to the Repell-em Store for me, to order some more before I run completely out.  I don’t want to be left with nothing but a few old Hefty bags, left over from the days before I wised up and started using Repell-em products exclusively.

If I set a Hefty or Glad trash bag, full of garbage, out on my deck in the evening, it’s a sure thing that I’ll be greeted in the morning by my trash spread out all over the yard, because the possums and raccoons and dogs in the area will have smelled the garbage right through the Glad and Hefty plastic, and those white bags are visible, to animals, from far, far away.

No, for me and my family, it’s Repell-em trash bags, and always will be, from now on.  I didn’t really believe the claims at first, but after using them all these months, I sure believe it now!  I’ve tried it for myself, you see, and I discovered that every single Repell-em claim was absolute truth.

I can set my trash out on the deck at night, and the next morning that bag of trash will be pristine.  Animals can’t smell what’s in it, no matter WHAT might be in it, and the red color of Repell-em bags can’t be seen by animals, either.

Tonight, the Repell-em trash bags will be full of goodies, because I cleaned out my freezer and threw away all the food that was in the bottom and the back.  If I put that kind of load in a Hefty or Glad bag, the animals would come from miles around to play on my deck and feast on my expired frozen goodies.

But in a Repell-em bag, a raccoon could dance on top of it and not notice what it was.

Thank you, Repell-em.  Every single claim you make is true.  I know, because I tried them all for myself.

The trash does seem to accumulate, and in the past, we would add each additional full trash bag to the growing pile THAT WE HAD TO KEEP IN THE KITCHEN, because if we set anything out on the deck, the possums and raccoons would scatter it to the four winds.  It was genuinely icky.

Now, however, thanks to Repell-em trash bags, I can set each bag of trash out on the deck, discreetly in the corner, of course, and my kitchen is garbage-free.  I couldn’t do this with Hefty or Glad or any other major - or minor - brand of trash bags.  I tried, but it just didn’t work.  Animals can spot those thin white trash bags from miles away, and anything that’s in a Hefty or Glad bag can be smelled by an animal easily.

Repell-em trash bags are red, a shade that can’t be easily seen by animals, and the combination of 100% natural ingredients make whatever is inside the bag invisible, too.  In other words, animals can’t see Repell-em bags and animals can’t smell what’s in a Repell-em bag.

I can set our garbage out on the deck a few days before Trash Day and nothing will disturb it.

And it sure beats keeping full trash bags in the house.  Yuck, I hated that!  Now, I don’t have to.

Thank you, Repell-em.  You’ve cleaned up my act in so many ways!

I’m beginning to pack away some of our summer clothing, and guess what I’m putting it in before I throw it in the back of the guest room closet?

Repell-em trash bags, of course.

When I unpacked our heavy coats the other day to see if they’d  see us through another winter, and they smelled wonderful and were absolutely and 100% free of moths or ANY unwelcome guest, I realized then and there that I would never again pack away an article of clothing, a blanket, or ANYTHING made of fabric, without making sure there was some Repell-em in there somewhere with it.

So, I got out my last box of Repell-em trash bags - time to order some more! - and started putting away our shorts and all of the sleeveless shirts.  I put the swimsuits in a piece of Repell-em tablecloth, as we might need those once more, but everything went into those fantastic extra-large Repell-em trash bags.  Mmm, I love the way they smell!  They have a fragrance that reminds me of expensive candles, or potpourri.  It’s no wonder, either, since some of their 100% natural ingredients are the same thing that goes into expensive candles and potpourri.

Anyway, I know that when I unpack our summer things next spring, everything will be in perfect condition.  I can trust Repell-em for that.

And so can you.

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!

How long does a Repell-em trash bag keep its potency?  Well, usually people don’t keep a filled trash bag around long enough to really tell, but this summer, I wrapped strips of Repell-em trash bag around my tomato cages.  That was pretty far back, more like late spring than summer.

Until last week, there was not a sign of an animal or insect in my garden.

Today, however, I did see some gnats out there.

So naturally, I put fresh Repell-em strips in my garden.  I figure, given the track record of the previous Repell-em strips, these new ones should last until after Thanksgiving.  Of course, the garden will be frozen by then, but you never know.  I can remember a few seasons when we still had tomatoes in the garden at Thanksgiving in Indiana, and this year, I’m ready for them.  No deer or insects will get my autumn garden, either!

Thank you, Repell-em, for living up to your name and lasting so incredibly long!

It might seem odd to talk about child safety and trash bags in the same article, but I have discovered, by using Repell-em products myself, that everyone in the house is safer when Repell-em products are used, because Repell-em keeps insects out of your house.

The ingredients in a Repell-em trash bag are completely safe, and will not harm your children even if you catch one of them chewing on a Repell-em trash bag!  Repell-em bags are made of 100% harmless, natural ingredients, and won’t harm anyone. 

So far, nobody has reported any allergies to Repell-em products, either! That is always a concern for parents, too.

If you use Repell-em products in your home, everybody who lives there will be safer.  I know, because I use Repell-em now and wouldn’t use any other brand, no matter how good the sale might be.  No other trash bag can keep your home insect-free.

Repell-em products keep my family safer.  That’s good enough for me.

Last spring, I packed all of our fall and winter coats and jackets away in large Repell-em trash bags.  I just slipped a big Repell-em bag over the hanger and tied it in a knot at the bottom.

Last night, I unpacked a light autumn jacket for my husband, and instead of being greeted by the usual faintly musty odor of packed-away wool, I was instead greeted by the aroma of lemons and peppermint, because even after several months of hanging in the closet, that Repell-em bag had retained its pleasant fragrance which meant, of course, that it had also retained its potency in keep away all manner of insects.

Speaking of which, there was no trace of moths anywhere to be found on that jacket.  I am confident that next month when I unpack the heavy winter coats, they will smell good and will be completely untouched by moths, too.

Repell-em products have so many uses!  With Repell-em, a trash bag is much more than just a trash bag, and a tablecloth has many more uses than just being spread on a tabletop.

I don’t know how I managed without Repell-em.  Seriously, I don’t.

Today is Labor Day, but insects and other pests do not take holidays.  In fact, holidays are fantastic times to use Repell-em products, because on holidays there are always more people and more food and more, well, garbage.

Many people like to picnic on Labor Day, and what is a picnic without bees, ants, flies, and gnats?  Put a Repell-em tablecloth on the picnic table and put a Repell-em trash bag in the wastebasket and you’ll not see any of the usual picnic pests.

Won’t it be wonderful not to have to brush the bugs off your slice of watermelon before you eat it?

You don’t have to worry about the ingredients in Repell-em, either.  There is nothing in a Repell-em product that is in any way harmful to a human being.  Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients.

So put a Repell-em tablecloth on your picnic table and a Repell-em trash bag in the garbage can and you’ll be all set to have a bug-free, pest-free Labor Day picnic.

Try not to eat too much.  You’ve got a volleyball game in a few minutes.  :)

The long Labor Day weekend is fast approaching, and Labor Day has long been a time to have the traditional family picnic!

So, pack up the fried chicken and potato salad, throw a baseball and bat in the back of the van, and be sure to have extra shoes and socks for the kids, especially if you’re going to be near water.

One more important picnic supply would be the Repell-em trash bags and tablecloths; don’t forget those, for heaven’s sake, or your picnic will be overcome by mosquitoes, flies, and gnats, not to even mention the possums, raccoons, and stray dogs.
