All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'No cats in your garbage' 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 just set my trash out on the deck - four bags of garbage, sitting out on the deck, way out in the country, right next to a rather large woods.

Ordinarily, the smell of the garbage would lure every possum, raccoon, skunk, deer, fox, and insect to my patio door and I would spend an hour or more the next morning picking up the remains.

But now I use Repell-em trash bags, and I don’t have to worry about animals or bugs at all any more.  My trash will be, in the morning, exactly as it is right now.

Repell-em trash bags are red, which animals can’t see well, and they are made of 100% natural ingredients, the combination of which repels almost all animals and insects completely.

I love you, Repell-em products.

I will admit that I was skeptical when I first heard about Repell-em products.  After all, I lived out in the country and the insects and animals were just something I had to live with, right?  You set your trash outside too early, the animals tear it apart.  You put some fruit in a bowl, and the gnats go nuts.

But I learned after just a few days that Repell-em products really did what they claimed they’d do.  Ever since I started to use them, I’ve not had to crawl around in my yard, picking up garbage that had been scattered by raccoons and possums, neighbor’s dogs and my own cats.  I haven’t had to use any kind of vegetable or flower spray or dust; a little strip of Repell-em kept all the bugs away from my garden and my roses.  When we eat out on the deck, we are not troubled by flies or bees or gnats, because the pretty red Repell-em tablecloth keeps away all the pests.

I can recommend Repell-em products to all of you because I tried them myself.  I now use them exclusively.

You should, too.

I have two cats, and keeping them out of the trash used to be an ongoing trial in this house.  They went after the garbage in the kitchen wastebasket constantly, and when the bag was full and I tied it off and put it on the floor before tossing it out on the deck before putting it in the back of the pickup truck before hauling it off to the dump (Are you following me?  You’re not lost, are you?) the cats would bite and tear through the bag to get to the yummy spoiling goodness inside.

Ever since I started using Repell-em trash bags, the cats have left the kitchen trash completely alone.  They don’t smell it and they don’t see it.  This is a wonderful thing for me, because picking up trash and bits of garbage the cats left strewn about on my kitchen floor, and constantly re-bagging the garbage because the cats tore it apart, was really getting old.  REALLY old.

Now, nothing bothers the kitchen trash, and nothing bothers the tied-off trash bags no matter WHERE they are.  Using Repell-em bags in my kitchen not only keeps the animals away from the garbage, it also keep the insects out of my kitchen!

Thank you, Repell-em!

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.  :)

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.

I live out in the country, and we have to take all of our trash to the dump, ourselves.  This means that unless we drive to the dump every day, there will almost always be a sack (or two)  (or three) of trash sitting out on the deck.

Until we discovered Repell-em trash bags, this meant that nearly every day, we spent fifteen or so minutes crawling around picking up our trash, because when you live out in the country and set a bag of smelly delights out on the deck, you’re really just asking for it.  The possums, raccoons, mice, and even the deer will come running, and because they can see the white plastic and smell whatever’s inside so clearly, you’re fighting a losing battle.

HOWEVER, with Repell-em bags, it’s quite a different story!  Animals can’t see the red bags, and they can’t smell whatever might be inside them.  They don’t get close enough to really even try, either, because the combination of various natural ingredients that make up the Repell-em magic honestly live up to their name:  the animals are genuinely REPELLED.

In other words, I can set three or four Repell-em bags full of garbage, out on the deck, right by the woods, overnight, and overnight again, and nothing will bother them.

When I tell you that I will never buy any other kind of trash bag, I’m not exaggerating, not the least bit.  Repell-em trash bags are perfection.  PERFECTION.  Well, the animals and bugs don’t like them, but I sure do!

I promised you all a picture of my garden with Repell-em woven all around the tomato cages, but I’ll have to pass on that until Wednesday.  I live in Indiana, you see, and the never-ceasing rain has really thrown a monkey wrench into any photo ops I may have had planned!

Surely by Wednesday’s post, I’ll be able to go back there and take a picture for you.  It’s really quite attractive!

In the meantime, I will give you this:  I feed my cats in the kitchen, and for the past two days, not one of the three has gone near their food OR water bowl!

I finally figured it out.  I had gathered up all the newspapers and put them in a Repell-em bag and set the bag in front of the patio doors, BESIDE THE CATS’S DISHES!

No wonder the cats wouldn’t go near enough to even grab a light snack!

Repell-em products really work.  I mean to say, Repell-em products REALLY, REALLY WORK!

Stay tuned for some pictures.

In the summer, we usually keep a large trash can out on the deck.  That’s where we deposit the watermelon rinds, corn husks, tomato peelings, etc, so they don’t mess up the kitchen.

The giant trash can used to have a lid but that blew off in the last windstorm and split down the middle, so there’s just a big open trash can out there.

You can imagine the problems that caused before I started using Repell-em trash bags exclusively: my deck was like a big possum buffet.  I spent many boring, tedious, and embarrassing hours crawling around my yard, picking up the bits of garbage that the wildlife had rejected.

Now, however, even with the lid gone, my garbage sits on the deck completely and 100% unmolested!  I’m embarrassed to admit to you how many watermelon and canteloupe rinds are in that trash bin as I type, and I’ve long since lost count of the corncobs.

I don’t have to worry or even think about that stuff now.  Repell-em trash bags have made my life so much simpler and better; there just aren’t enough positive things I could say about these products.

Try them.  You’ll love them too!
