Repell-em Blog

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!

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 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.

I love you, Repell-em!!!!

We eat outside a lot in the summer.  This used to be both wonderful and terrible; the wonderful part was being together and eating lots of great BBQ and corn on the cob, and playing volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.  The terrible part was dealing with the swarms and hordes of insects, that loved it when we ate out, too, and for all the same reasons.

Now, however, I use Repell-em tablecloths and Repell-em trash bags, both indoors and out.  We still have great BBQ and corn on the cob, and we still play volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.   What’s different this summer is the fact that we no longer have to deal with any insects.  Not a one.  Nope.  None.  Zip.  Zero.  NO BUGS!

Repell-em products really do what they promise they’ll do.  They do it well, too.

I can’t even imagine having a picnic without Repell-em products now.

Bonus?  Just cut one edge off your Repell-em tablecloth and cut it into segments.  Tie a segment of Repell-em around each person’s wrist and ankle, and send them off to play in the great summertime outdoors.  The bugs won’t bother them.

You’ve got Repell-em’s word on that.

I’ve only got four Repell-em trash bags left, so I need to order some more TONIGHT!  Oh, I’m not desperate yet, and there’s an almost-full box of Hefty bags under the sink, but I don’t use any other brand but Repell-em since I discovered how good they are.  I use the lesser brands of bags to line the cat’s litter box, but they’re not good enough for my family, in the kitchen, especially.

In my kitchen, I use only Repell-em bags.  They’re thick, strong, and they repel insects and animals.  Their fragrance, so repellent to bugs and raccoons, is like fresh potpourri to people.  When I walk into my kitchen in the morning and smell that fragrance, I know that Repell-em has been working all night long, keeping my family safe from vermin and insects.  This is a good feeling, folks.

So off I go, to order more Repell-em bags.  I especially like the 33-gallon garbage bags.  I use them in my kitchen wastebasket, and I love it that the bags are so big, I can also stuff more in them even after I remove the bag from the wastebasket.  I buy the kitchen-sized Repell-em bags for other rooms in the house, but in my kitchen, there’s always something else to put in the trash after I lift the bag out, so I like the bigger bags in there.

Try Repell-em trash bags.  You’ll love them, too.

A small child’s room is a room we especially want to keep as clean as possible.  A small child’s room is also one of the hardest rooms to KEEP clean, because small children are just naturally messy.  They don’t mean to be; it’s just part of exploring this amazing new world they discover anew every moment.  We want them to be this way.  We wouldn’t change it even if we could.

What we CAN do, however, is try to keep our children’s rooms as clean, under the clutter, as we can.  Wherever there is clutter, there is a tendency for insects to move in and take up housekeeping.  When we pick up a little applesauce-smeared book and something scurries away from underneath it, we’re horrified, because this is a little child’s room and we don’t want ANYTHING with lots of legs scurrying around in it!

A child’s wastebasket is another place we often neglect when it comes to housekeeping.  In fact, the wastebasket is the repository for many things we remove from the floor and dispose of.  Insects and mice love wastebaskets, and a child’s wastebasket is even more full of tasty things than the kitchen wastebasket!

How can you keep your child’s room clean and safe from insects and rodents?  It’s easy.  Keep the child’s room as clutter-free as you can, and put Repell-em trash bags in the wastebasket and in the closet!

Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless.  Even if your child puts the Repell-em bag in his mouth and sucks on it, as little kids are prone to do, the Repell-em bag won’t harm the child in the least.  There is nothing in the Repell-em bag that could hurt your child’s digestive system, OR cause harm to the skin!  100% natural ingredients, and 100% biodegradable, too.

Line the baby’s wastebasket with a Repell-em bag, and put a Repell-em bag in the closet, too, and there will be no worry about insects or mice in your precious child’s room.

Yesterday, my kids had a big Mentos Geyser/ bonfire/cookout in the back yard. It was going to rain at any second, all through the party, so they didn’t want to bother setting up the table. They also didn’t want to set the food on the bare deck floor because of the bugs.

Fortunately, I did have one Repell-em tablecloth still left from this summer of picnics and BBQ’s, so the kids folded it in half and spread it on the edge of the deck. They covered it with food and ate standing up. Or, in the case of Sara, sitting down!

Even though the air was sultry and humid, heavy with the rainstorm that was due any second, not one bug was found anywhere on the tablecloth or, by extension, on the food. Frustrated gnats and flies could be seen hovering a few feet over the tablecloth, but none touched down.

My family would simply not consider cooking or eating outside without a Repell-em product close at hand. If you use a Repell-em tablecloth, your food will be insect-free for the duration of your party, and I usually get at least three uses out of a single tablecloth. If you have a Repell-em trash bag outside for the disposables and garbage, you’ll not have a single insect crawling over your trash.

Sara, Nathen, Erin, and Monte can testify to that!

Oh, and by the way? They wiped off this tablecloth, let it dry, folded it, and we’re going to use it again next weekend. You just can’t DO that with most regular plastic picnic tablecloths; they’re far too flimsy. Repell-em tablecloths are thick and tough and they REALLY WORK!

It’s lovely to have a cookout and not have to worry about insects. It’s also nice not to have to sit around and smell the foul, strong odor of a typical spray insect repellent. Repell-em smells GOOD, and works better than any other insect repellent on the market today.

Oh, and the picture on this post?  It was part of the slideshow on my wireless picture frame five minutes after I took it.

Summer is so fleeting.  Have fun with it every chance you get!  The fewer bugs, the more fun.   The more fun, the more pictures you should be taking.

I’ve posted before about how Repell-em and Eco-Smart products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless to humans.  We’ve also discussed the fact that Repell-em and Eco-smart products are 100% biodegradable.  I’ve used the word “green” when I write about these products.

Now, both Repell-em and Eco-Smart products have been  officially certified as “green” and “biodegradable” products by TerraChoice, Greenstar, and Nu Earth!

This means that our products, Repell-em and Eco-Smart, have been tested and checked to make sure they are safe and that they really are what they claim to be.  Repell-em and Eco-Smart passed these tests with flying colors!  The results of these tests are accepted in all fifty states, too.

I just can’t say this enough:  Repell-em and Eco-Smart products are exactly what they claim to be:  absolutely effective and 100% safe and biodegradable.  If that’s not “green,” then I don’t know what is.
