Repell-em Blog

I just got back from a blogging conference, WordCamp Chicago, and I was not in the least surprised to hear from several people that they are using EcoSmart Repellem products now, and that they FOUND our products because EcoSmart Repellem is a business that has a blog.

EcoSmart Repellem makes the very best trash bags, tent mats, pet poop bags, tablecloths, and other awesome products, and all kinds of information about them are on our main website right here.

Our main website will tell you that EcoSmart Repellem products are the best; our blog will tell you why.  Our blog will also tell you other ways to use our products, for Repellem products are extremely versatile and can be used in many different ways.  An EcoSmart Repellem trash bag is more than just an excellent trash bag, you see, and here on our blog, you’ll learn how and why.

EcoSmart Repellem is also a business that genuinely cares about our customers; we are not afraid to get “out there” and blog about our company, and we are not afraid of our customers’ comments, whether positive or negative.  If you comment positively, we will thank you (you might even get a little something in the mail for making us smile!) and if your comment is negative, we will strive mightily to correct whatever went wrong, and to make sure that customer leaves our blog smiling, too.  Word of mouth is the mightiest of all advertising, and EcoSmart Repellem is not afraid to open ourselves up to customer feedback of ALL kinds.  That’s how we know what we’re doing right, and what we’re doing wrong.  Rest assured, too, that if a customer has a complaint, we will fix it.  Fast.

EcoSmart Repellem is a business with a blog.  That means, EcoSmart Repellem is a business with a heart.  We are real people, and so are you, and with a blog, we can have a conversation.  We hope you will leave our blog convinced that EcoSmart Repellem products ARE the best, but not because of hype and advertisement: because of what other customers say, because of what WE are saying, and because we encourage customer comments and always respond to them.

Thank you for coming to the EcoSmart Repellem blog.  We make the best and greenest products in the world, your home and lifestyle will be cleaner and greener if you use our products, your children will be safer with EcoSmart Repellem, and everything we make is recyclable and made of 100% natural ingredients.  And, our blog is happy to tell you why, and how.

We all want to be more environmentally conscious, and we all want to help keep our planet clean, but what can just one person do that would make any kind of difference?

Lots of things!

We can use and re-use simple things like aluminum foil.  We can carry re-usable grocery bags.  We can plant gardens.  We can recycle our cans and plastics.  We can FreeCycle usable things we no longer need.  We can start walking to places that are only a short distance from our homes.  We can get out those bicycles!

We can use EcoSmart products around our homes, too.  This helps both the earth AND us, because not only do EcoSmart products help us keep our homes clean and green, they also keep away harmful insects and pesky animals that dirty up our environment.

More and more businesses are offering EcoSmart products for sale, and this is a mark of a wise business.  And, you can always purchase EcoSmart Repellem products right here on the good old internet.

Ever since I discovered EcoSmart Repellem products, I haven’t used any other brand in my home.  I live way out in the country, and I have to set my trash out on the deck all the time.  Before I knew about EcoSmart Repellem, I spent an awful lot of time crawling around the yard picking up my own trash and re-bagging it, because the possums and raccons and dogs had smelled it from afar and come running to the feast.  Now, with Repellem bags, the animals can’t see nor smell the garbage inside the bags, so my trash sits in clean trash bags, awaiting our weekly trip to the dump.

It’s a small thing, trash bags, to make a person feel as though he/she is helping keep the earth clean and green, but it’s a fact:  using EcoSmart Repellem products does help.  And, they’re superior products in every possible way.

EcoSmart Repellem products are superior to any other trash bag or tablecloth, and comparable in price.  They keep harmful, dangerous insects, vermin, and animals away from your children’s toys, food, playing spaces, and beds, without a single hazardous poison or other ingredient.  EcoSmart Repellem products are made of 100% natural, recyclable ingredients, so when you use them, you are not only keeping your children and your home cleaner and greener and safer, you are also helping to save the planet!

You can purchase EcoSmart Repellem products right here on the Repellem website, and now, you can also buy your EcoSmart Repellem products at your local Vitamin Shoppe - and at a discount, too!

We all want to help keep the earth clean, and we all want to keep our homes clean.  If you use EcoSmart Repellem products, you can do both!

Far too many household cleaning products do not contribute to the cleaning and greening of the planet - in fact, most ordinary cleaning products not only emit harmful fumes into the air, they are also dangerously poisonous to the humans who use them or who live in homes where such products are used.

The best, cleanest, and greenest way to keep insects out of your home, for example, is simply to use Repellem trash bags in all of your bins and wastebaskets.  Using Repellem products in your home will GUARANTEE you an insect, vermin, and rodent-free environment.  Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are absolutely harmless.  You won’t ever have to worry about your baby or small child being poisoned by an encounter with a poison, if you use EcoSmart Repellem products in your home.  You’ll never need to use a fragrance spray in your home again, either, because EcoSmart Repellem products have a lovely natural odor, much like expensive potpourri.

We all need to do more to help keep our planet save, clean, and green, and each person’s part in this begins in his/her own home.  EcoSmart Repellem products are an excellent beginning.

Don’t laugh!  EcoSmart Repellem trash bags are an amazingly useful baby shower gift!  Repellem products keep the baby’s nursery area completely free of insects and mice, and are absolutely 100% harmless, recyclable, biodegradable and, even though the bags themselves are red, completely GREEN!  EcoSmart Repellem bags are made of 100% natural ingredients, and there is nothing in them than can harm your baby in any way.

Even the cleanest home will have an occasional visiting fly, mosquito, gnat, ladybug, moth, weevil, or mouse once in a while.  A home that uses EcoSmart Repellem products, however, will NOT have these problems!  Repellem products don’t kill the insects or rodents; they simply repel them.  Your home will not be a welcoming location for insects or rodents, with Repellem products on the job!

When you set your Repellem bags outside to await the garbage truck, you won’t have to worry about neighborhood or stray dogs tearing them open and scattering your family’s trash all over the streets, either.  Repellem bags simply can’t be seen or smelled by most animals, unlike all other brands of garbage bags.

Why not give new parents a box of EcoSmart Repellem garbage bags, then?  People who wrapped up little statues, banks, picture frames, and photo albums might giggle, but after you explain to them what EcoSmart Repellem products will do for a home, I’m willing to bet that everybody will run home and order some for themselves.

When you give the gift of EcoSmart Repellem, you give the gift of cleanliness and safety.  How could that fourth wrapped diaper bag even BEGIN to compete with that?

Order some EcoSmart Repellem products NOW, why don’tcha?

I set these two full trash bags out on my deck last Friday morning, and took a picture. The white bag is a Glad bag, and the red bag is, of course, an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag. Both are full of the same kind of garbage: a combination of kitchen and bathroom garbage, the very best kind - if you’re a raccoon or a possum, or even a wandering neighbor dog.  VERY smelly.

This picture was taken Sunday afternoon.  Please notice that the red EcoSmart Repellem trash bag is still in almost the exact same position as it was when first place here last Friday.  It’s almost as though it hasn’t been so much as touched by any hungry animals. . . as though the animals, hungry as they most certainly were, never even noticed the Repellem bag. . . . as though the animals didn’t even realize the Repellem bag was there!  The animals came, oh yes indeed, you can see where they knocked over a little planter in their rush to get to the yummy garbage.

Where’s the white Glad bag, which, by the way, was the exact same price as the Repellem bag?  Oh, it’s still there, but we can’t see it because the animals tore into it with such enthusiasm that they knocked it off the deck and scattered its contents in the yard, up against my house.  The animals were so eager to dig into the Glad bag that they tore up the mulched area between my deck and my house, in fact.

But the EcoSmart Repellem garbage bag?  Absolutely untouched.  Pristine.  Not even a paw-print on it.

The thing is, you see, Repellem trash bags are made with a combination of 100% natural, biodegradable ingredients that animals simply can not smell, no matter how good their noses might be.  Repellem bags are thick and strong and animals can’t see or smell them.  What else could anyone ask for in a trash bag?  The Glad bags were strong, but their contents could be detected by the animals from far away, and no trash bag plastic can withstand a determined, hungry animal.  The Repellem bag survived because not only is it strong and thick, the animals simply did not even realize it was THERE!

I’ll be doing little experiments like this all spring and summer.  My neighbors wonder why I take pictures of my garbage while they are filming their children, but oh well!  Perhaps I’ll find fame as the eccentric lady who takes pictures of her trash!

Ahh, spring.  The official first day of spring is this coming Friday, the 20th, you know.  When the spring weather begins, it stirs up my blood and makes me want to . . . do experiements with Repellem trash bags again!

So, on Friday, the 20th - the first day of spring - I’m going to put a bag of smelly garbage, in an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag,  out on my deck again, to see if the animals will still ignore it.

Last year, remember, the animals acted as if they couldn’t even smell or see the Repellem trash bags, even when they were stuff full of EXTREMELY smelly trash.  Sometimes, animals build up immunities to things, so on Friday, I’ll put another Repellem bag out there and take its picture, and report back to you all next Monday.

My neighbors think I’m kind of weird, to take pictures of my garbage bags, but when I remind them about the EcoSmart Repellem bags that they so love to borrow from me - ahem! - they remember that EcoSmart Repellem trash bags are incredible, amazing, AWESOME trash bags, and they offer to help me with my experiments.

The people next door have small children AND dogs, so I’ll probably be over there taking some pictures of THEIR garbage this spring, too.

Why, is that unusual?

March is such a very “iffy” month; a typical March weather report for a few days might look like this:  snow, thunderstorm, single digits, seventies, blooming crocuses, blizzard, teens, thunderstorm, tornado, single digits, high sixties, tulips, blizzard, bright sunshine. . . . you get the picture.  There’s just no consistency!

People aren’t the only living things that are confused by March weather.  Animals and insects are confused, too!  Bright sunshine makes bugs desperate to live on our warm windowpanes.  Blizzards makes mice and insects crazy to get inside our houses.  Raccoons and possums start hanging around our decks, hoping for a buffet of filled trash bags.

How can we deal with this craziness?  EASY!  Use EcoSmart Repellem products, and there will be no insects or unwelcome animals in your home, or even NEAR your home! 

No raccoons.  No possums.  No moths.  No silverfish.  No ants.  No roaches.  No mice.

Use EcoSmart Repellem products, and you’re not only helping the environment, you’re also keeping your home clean, green, and pest-proof.  Absolutely.

EcoSmart products, such as Repellem, not only keep animals and insects away from almost anything; they also help the environment by keeping your home cleaner and greener!

Remember, the health and safety of our children is the most important thing, and EcoSmart is absolutely harmless to children, even toddlers and babies.  EcoSmart Repellem keeps the animals and bugs away with a combination of harmless, natural ingredients - 100% natural ingredients, in fact.

We’re buried in snow, here in southern Indiana, and my next-door neighbor finally managed to break a path to my door.  I figured that she was going to ask to borrow milk, or bread, since she has two small daughters and hasn’t been able to get out of her driveway for a week now.  But no, she didn’t need food.

With all the snow outside, the mice are running for warmth and cover, and her house had been infiltrated!  She wanted to know if I had a couple of Repellem trash bags she could borrow.  I did, and she trudged back through the snow to her house.  Once she puts those Repellem bags in her kitchen, the mice will all leave.

I haven’t noticed a single mouse in my house since the day I first started using Repellem trash bags.  No mice, no ants, no roaches, no flies, no fleas on the cats, no waterbugs, no weevils in the flour. . . .  I’m telling you, EcoSmart Repellem products REALLY WORK!

So.  Enter the Repellem contest.  Keep your home cleaner and safer and greener with EcoSmart Repellem products.

The contest’s prizes are fantastic.
