Repell-em Blog

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!

This time of year, the gnats are really swarming, especially in the kitchen where any food might be sitting out on the counter or tabletop.  I like to keep a bowl of fresh fruit on my kitchen table, and the gnats were definitely NOT adding to the beauty of that picture.

My kitchen table is too small for a Repell-em tablecloth (I have one on my dining table, though!) So, I made some small “place mats” out of Repell-em, and placed the fruit bowl on top of one of them.  Red is one of my kitchen’s colors, and the clear glass bowl, full of apples, looks really nice with that little red mat underneath.

Best of all?  Repell-em lives up to its name and reputation and there are NO MORE GNATS on the fruit in my fruitbowl.  In fact, my kitchen has no gnats at all, now.

Thank you, Repell-em.

The safety of our children is one of the most important things in our lives.  We would move mountains if that’s what it took to keep our children safe.

Repell-em products want to help you keep your children safe, too.  That’s why they are made with 100% natural ingredients, and are completely harmless to all living things.  Peppermint, citronella, rosemary, cloves, lemons, geraniums, apples. . . these yummy or good-smelling things are all Repell-em ingredients.  Amazingly, the combination creates an aroma that insects and animals simply can not bear!  Even more amazing?  Repell-em products smell so good, your guests will think you’ve got an expensive candle in the house!

Repell-em tablecloths guarantee that no insect will come near your child at the table or near it.  Repell-em trashbags guarantee that no insect or animal will come near your child at a picnic site or the back yard.  Little strips of Repell-em around your child’s wrist and ankle ensure that no chiggers or mosquitoes or ticks will annoy or hurt your child.

Because Repell-em products are completely harmless - they won’t even hurt the bugs; they just repel them! - you don’t have to worry about insect repellent poisons, etc.  Repell-em products contain no poison, not in any way, shape, or form.  Just those harmless, natural ingredients that are perfectly safe, and that help you keep your child safe, too.

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.

With Repell-em at your picnic, you’ll be able to concentrate on the food and the company, and not have to worry about being annoyed and bitten.  Don’t worry about the ingredients in Repell-em harming your kids or contaminating your food, either; Repell-em products are made of 100 natural ingredients and are absolutely harmless to people.

We went on a picnic today.  Ordinarily my husband doesn’t care for picnics, because he can’t stand the bugs.  Now that we have Repell-em tablecloths, though, that concern is gone and we’ve actually gone on several really fun picnics this summer.

A Repell-em tablecloth not only keeps the flying bugs, like mosquitoes and gnats, away from you and from your food, it also keeps the ants and other crawling insects away.  A picnic without ants!  Can you imagine?

Well, if you have a Repell-em tablecloth on your picnic table, you don’t have to imagine.  You’ll see for yourself.

Don’t worry about the ingredients in the Repell-em tablecloth harming your skin or your food, either.  Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, all of which are absolutely harmless.

I’ve had guests these past few days and we have been able to sit outside in absolute comfort.  We were not annoyed by pesky flies, or stinging mosquitoes, or chiggers.  We came inside not because we were driven by hordes of bugs, but because we wanted to.

Thanks to Repell-em, it’s comfortable in our yard now.  And back in the garden, all the vegetables are healthy

I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it is to be able to enjoy the outdoors like we are this summer.    With Repell-em, the outdoors is almost as safe as the indoors!  No bugs and no animals to bother you,  and nothing but a breeze, some sunshine, a lawn chair, and some lemonade.

No bugs.  Not even a trace.  Thank you, Repell-em.

I’ve been sitting out on the deck most of this afternoon, reading and watching the deer walk past my garden as if they couldn’t even see it.

The fact is, they can’t.  My garden is covered with Repell-em strips, and not only are my vegetables absolutely insect-free, the deer, possums, and raccoons are not bothering them, either.

Not only that, as I sit here on the deck, I have not noticed a single mosquito, gnat, or insect of any kind.  That’s because my upside-down tomatoes have Repell-em strips on them, and also because I have a Repell-em tablecloth on my deck table.

I haven’t had to spray smelly, dangerous insecticides on anyone or anything this entire summer, nor have I had to light citronella candles or use any other kind of repellent.

Citronella is one of the 100% natural ingredients in Repell-em products, but combined with the lemon, mint, etc, the final product smells as good as an expensive candle.  Minus the heat and the danger!

Thank you, Repell-em, for making my summer the most pleasant one yet.  I can’t remember when I’ve been able to sit outside for so long without being driven insane by the bugs.  And it’s also nice to just reach out and grab a cherry tomato without having to wash off the insect repellent.  Next year, I’m going to put Repell-em strips on my rosebushes.

I love summer.  And thanks to Repell-em, I can enjoy it.

There is nothing that is more important than our children, and we want to keep them safe at all times, as much as is in our power.

One thing we can do, to keep them safer, is to use Repell-em products.  With Repell-em, you will know that no insects will be anywhere near your children, whether in their own rooms, elsewhere in your house, or outside.

A Repell-em trash bag in all of the wastebaskets?  That guarantees no bugs in any room that has one of these.

A little strip of Repell-em around your child’s ankle and wrist?  That guarantees no mosquitoes or chiggers, or any other bug, will bite or sting or in any way come near your child as he/she plays outdoors.

A Repell-em tablecloth on the table, either indoors or outdoors?  That guarantees that your child and everyone else who is near will be able to eat in peace, knowing that no insects - or animals, either - will come near your child or his/her food.

Repell-em products are absolutely safe, too.  You need never worry about exposing your child to anything dangerous with Repell-em: Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are completely harmless and gentle to a child’s skin.

We here at Repell-em want to help you keep your children safe.  We can’t be there to guide your children through traffic, but we can be there to keep dangerous insects and animals away from your child, and away from the things your child might be touching.

Use Repell-em in your home, indoors and out.  You’ll be very glad if you do, for it will make a WORLD of difference.

On these hot, humid, summer evenings, the mosquitoes are out in full force.  Adults usually remember the insect repellent, although they don’t really need any if they’ve got a few strips of Repell-em trash bag or tablecloth to tie around their wrist and ankle.  Our children, running, playing, and dancing around us as we stroll along the beach or neighborhood, enjoying the sunset and the general feel of the summer, are usually protected too; those little Repell-em strips are perfect for children at play.

Remember, Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are absolutely safe for a child’s skin.  Your skin, too.

It sounds awful to think about, but quite often we make sure the children are protected from insects, but we forget about the most helpless member of the family when it comes to protection against bugs:  the baby in the stroller!

It’s perfectly safe to tie a strip of Repell-em around your baby’s ankle, but don’t tie ANYTHING around your baby’s wrist; if the baby can get to it, he/she could choke.  Repell-em won’t harm a baby, or any living thing, but there is still the possibility of choking.  A little strip around the baby’s ankle is all he/she needs to be protected against insects while out for that evening stroll.  You can even tie (securely!) a strip of Repell-em around the handles of the stroller, and that will protect the baby and whoever is pushing the stroller.

Repell-em wants to help all members of your family, including YOU, be safe in the great and beautiful outdoors.  Repell-em is absolutely harmless to the skin or around your food, and it’s biodegradable, too.

With Repell-em products, your family will be safer, insect-free, and environmentally friendly.  That’s a Repell-em promise.
