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.

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.

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.

I know I’ve posted about putting a Repellem bag under your Christmas tree skirt before, but as more and more of you are putting up your holiday decorations and trees now, the advice bears repeating.  I have indoor cats who can’t resist swinging, climbing, and batting at pretty much anything and everything, and yet, these lively jumping cats have left my Christmas tree completely alone.  It’s as if they can’t even see or smell it.

That’s because I put a Repellem trash bag under the tree skirt.

Repell-em really does live up to its name.  It doesn’t hurt or kill; it simply REPELS.  I feel safe in claiming that a Repellem product will repel anything the size of an average dog or smaller, all the way down to fleas and gnats.  I’m not ruling out Repellem working on larger animals, but I haven’t TRIED Repellem on polar bears or kangaroos yet.  I have, however, tried it on dogs the size of large collies, raccoons, possums, and cats of all sizes.  Oh, and DEER!  Repellem kept the deer out of my garden ALL SUMMER LONG!  Repellem worked on all of these animals, and let us sit out on our deck without having to swat mosquitoes, flies, or gnats all summer long, too.  Repellem also kept the wasps away, even when we had lemonade out there!

My mother has lined her fireplace mantle - well away from the flame or heat - with holiday-looking red Repellem tablecloths, folded, and her cats haven’t jumped up there to disturb or knock over her angel collection or little Christmas trains yet.  They won’t, either.

Animals can’t sense a Repellem product; therefore, anything you’re protecting with a Repellem product won’t be sensed, either.

Your pets will leave your holiday decorations alone if you just put some Repellem in there with them.

Come and look at my Christmas tree.  No cat could resist it.  And yet, with Repellem, they do!

Your child’s safety is the most important issue in the world, and while we can’t keep our children locked in a tower or sealed in a bubble, there are many things we can do to help insure that nothing dangerous touches our children’s lives.

Outdoors, bugs are no big deal.  After all, they were here first!  Bugs belong outside, and when we see ants in the grass, crickets in the shrubbery, or spiders building webs among the fence posts, we think nothing of it.  They BELONG there!

Indoors, however, is another story altogether!  We do NOT want any bugs, however harmless they might be, in our homes.  The very thought of insects crawling on our babies in their cribs makes us sicken with horror.  And yet, bug sprays and most repellants are too toxic to use near or around babies and children.  The house might be cleaner than Mr. Clean’s house, but the insects will still find a way.

That’s why all families should use Repell-em products.  With Repell-em, there will be no bugs in the house.  No spiders.  No ants.  No moths.  No roaches.  No bedbugs.  No gnats.  No waterbugs.  With Repell-em in the house, the insect world will stay where it belongs:  outside.

With Repell-em products in your house, there will be no insects crawling on your baby in the night.  Or on YOU, either!  With Repell-em in your house,  your babies, your children, and YOU, will all be safe from maurauding insects.

So put Repell-em trash bags in all of your wastebaskets!  Put a Repell-em tablecloth underneath that beautiful holiday tablecloth!  And don’t worry about toxins, either; Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, completely and 100% harmless and biodegradeable, too!

A Repell-em household is a cleaner and safer household.

P.S.  Spiders aren’t really insects, of course.  They’re arthropods, like crabs and lobsters.  I have no actual proof that Repell-em repels crabs and lobsters, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if it did!  Repell-em does a bust on spiders, though.  You can depend on it!
