Tired of giving the same kind of gift year after year? Well, why not depart from tradition somewhat this time, and give your family and friends something that they will not only USE, but also benefit by?

Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem products will help keep your loved ones’ homes or businesses cleaner, safer, and free from insects and vermin!

Repellem trash bags are a fabulous gift for a daycare director, or your child’s teacher, for example. Our trash bags will help ensure that small children can crawl and play SAFELY on the floor, and that even areas that are hard to keep clean – small children do that, you know – you won’t have to worry about ants, roaches, or mice.

Another great quality of Repellem bags is their safety; the bags are made of 100% recyclable materials, and are also 100% safe, even if a child tries to eat one!

Here is a complete list of what Repellem bags are composed of, in case you’re wondering.

A box or two – or a case – of Repellem trash bags would be a much-appreciated gift for anyone who doesn’t really want bugs or mice, and isn’t that everybody you know?

More than spring bulbs are waking up and presenting themselves for our approval; the bugs are making themselves known, too! I’m sure you’ve already noticed that bugs and spiders are awake and trying desperately to get where the easy food is: our homes.

It’s extra important in the springtime to be sure we don’t leave food out where it will only look like a large free buffet to ants, gnats, flies, roaches, and other lovely creatures we don’t invite into our houses; they gatecrash! But we can’t ever clean a house thoroughly enough to keep out the bugs; there is, however, an easy fix for the annual springtime insect invasion. EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products.

As long as there’s a Repellem trash bag in every wastecan, a few strips of Repellem in every kitchen cabinet – don’t worry about your food, as Repellem products are 100% natural and completely harmless – you won’t have to worry about the bugs. Bugs will stay as far away from a Repellem house as possible.

So will the spiders.

I used to have to take down and clean all the light fixtures in spring and summer, at least once a week, to dump out the dead bugs. Now, since I’ve used Repellem in my kitchen and in all the closets in the house, I never have to take down the light fixtures. I’m short, and it was a big annoying deal, and it’s so nice NOT to have to do that any more.

Let me sum up. Warm weather is here, or it’s coming soon (Depends on your location, of course) and if you spread the Repellem products around your house, you’ll never have to deal with bugs.

Oh, and those winter coats hanging in the closet, waiting for next winter? Just cover them with a Repellem trash bag and the moths won’t even know they’re there.

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are the best on the market today. My house is proof. Prove it with your house, too.

We read about bedbugs in novels about pioneers. We read about bedbugs being found in unkempt hotel beds. We read about bedbugs in OTHER people’s homes but never ours.

The fact is, however, that bedbugs are back, and they’ve brought reinforcements the likes and numbers of which have never been seen before. Bedbugs are being found in schools, offices, hospitals, daycare, inns, hotels, motels . . . some of the cleanest-looking places in the world are finding bedbugs!

We usually associate bedbugs with, well, beds, but they have other places they love to hide, too. Your clothes and shoes, for example. Your coat closet. Your boots. Your mittens. Your towels, and linen closets. Your drains and electrical outlets. Your baseboards. Blankets. Pillows. Matresses.

Most charitable places no longer accept anything that’s upholstered any more, because bedbugs love your chairs, and sofas. They love your carpets.

They love your car, and your baby’s carseat.

They love your kitchen cabinets. They dance in your dishes when you’re not looking. They scamper among your silverware when the drawer is closed.

My community has been notified of several infestations, but in my house, we haven’t noticed any bedbugs, at least not yet. I have no scientific conclusion to draw, but I do know this: There are EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem bags in all of my closets and cabinets. There are Repellem bags between my mattress and box springs. Repellem bags hang in all of my closets, and there are wadded strips of Repellem bags in all of my drawers.

When I packed away my Christmas decorations and trees, everything was placed in a large Repellem trash bag and securely tied. The sweet, pleasant fragrance of Repellem permeates my house today; it smells better than many expensive candles.

I credit EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products for my home’s total lack of bedbugs. Oh, and there are no roaches, ants, weevils, or moths here, either. No mice. And when I set the trash out on the deck, it’s completely unmolested.

There is no way I would EVER use another kind of trash bag in my home again. EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products have won my loyalty, 100%, and everylasting.

. . . and grilling time means outdoors time.  This extra-humid and extra-pollen-ish summer has more than its share of happy and excited bugs, but when we had a cookout this past weekend, we weren’t bothered a bit by insects – not a single, tiny bit.

We didn’t use any dangerous bug sprays or smelly candles, either.  It’s not good to use poisons around food, pets, or children, and a typical cookout has all three.  All we did was put an Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem tablecloth on both round deck tables, and a couple of Repellem trash bags in the wastebaskets.  We’d need tablecloths and trash bags anyway; why not use the best: products that not only serve their usual purpose, but also keep away almost every kind of insect imaginable?

Our cooking could have been plagued with insects, attracted by the sweat, blood, and smells of the cooking food, but it wasn’t.  We didn’t have to sit at the table eating with one hand and swatting bugs away with the other.

We didn’t have to sit and put up with the overwhelming odor of anti-bug skin sprays or citronella candles, either.  All we smelled was food.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products are versatile and so very, very useful.  Why put up with insects at your picnic when you can keep them away with a tablecloth?  Why put up with mice and roaches in your kitchen trash can when you can keep them away with a trash bag?

I have used Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products ever since I first heard of them several years ago.  They are far superior to any other kind of plastic product I’ve ever used, and they are the ONLY ones that keep away insects and wild animals.   100% biodegradable and made of 100% natural products, Repellem tablecloths and trash bags will turn your buggy summers into insect-free vacations.

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

There are more uses than these for Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products; check this blog each month for updates!  In the meantime, check our archives for all kinds of ways these products can be used.

It’s been a lovely day today: sunny and breezy and very, very hot.  The heat doesn’t bother me, but the bugs drive me CRAZY!

Why, then, was I sitting outside on my deack?

Because I had an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on my outdoor table, and there WERE NO BUGS.  Not one.

No mosquitoes.  No flies.  No gnats.  No wasps.  No ants.  No chigger bites on the two borrowed neighbor toddlers.

This is especially significant because we were eating canteloupe at that outdoor table, and we left the juicy rinds outside while we went to water the rosebushes.

When we got back to the mess on the table, there were still no insects of any kind on that mushy, slushy, strong-smelling (Y’all know what canteloupe smells like!)  pile of ickiness on our four plates.

I cleaned up the mess, threw it into an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag along with our supper leftovers, which included several corncobs and some chicken bones.  In an ordinary trash bag, this would have been an animal’s and an insect’s dream-come-true, but that trash bag has been sitting outside on the deck for hours now and nothing has touched it.

Oh, and those less-than-half-price EcoSmart Repellem trash bags I ordered from Cabela’s last Monday?  They arrived in three days.  THREE DAYS.  Whatta deal.

At a friend’s house today, I noticed that there were gnats swarming all over her kitchen trash.  Well, and why wouldn’t they, I thought, seeing that her trash bin was full of watermelon rinds and moldy strawberries!

When I got home, I looked at my own kitchen trash, and there was not a single gnat in sight.  I looked a little closer and saw that my trash bin was full of chicken skin and corncobs from last night’s supper: surely a feast for any self-respecting gnat!

So, what was the difference, bug-wise, between my friend’s kitchen trash and mine?

She used Glad bags, and I used EcoSmart Repellem bags.  That was it.  Everything else was the same: both trash bins were full of overripe food dregs, but only one bin was favorited by the gnats.  My trash bin, with its Repellem trash bag, was absolutely and 100% insect-free.

It’s really, honestly true:  EcoSmart Repellem trash bags will keep ALL insects away from your trash, no matter how smelly, ripe, or alluring your garbage might be to a bug.

Think how much cleaner, and how much SAFER your home would be with EcoSmart Repellem products in every room!

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!

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?

It’s spring cleaning time, and that means going over your home with a fine-tooth comb, and making sure everything is spic-and-span.  This also means, although people don’t usually come right out and say so, that it’s time to check your home for potential rodent and insect entrances and nests.

After you’ve finished with your spring cleaning,  make sure you put some EcoSmart Repellem products in each room, to KEEP those rodents and insects out of your house.  A Repellem trash bag in each wastebasket and trash can, a Repellem trash bag or tablecloth on the floor of each closets behind the shoes, a Repellem trash bag under the sofa cushions, a Repellem trash bag in the pantry to keep out the weevils, a Repellem trash bag under every sink and in every cabinet. . . you get the general idea. Remember to change the bags every two or three weeks, or when you can’t smell them any more.  (They smell really good!)

Keep your house safe, clean, and green with EcoSmart Repellem products. A household that uses EcoSmart Repellem products is safer for babies and small children, as well as safer for everyone else, and a household that uses EcoSmart Repellem products is cleaner than a house that doesn’t use them, because EcoSmart households are rodent and insect FREE.
