All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'No cockroaches' Category

An infant’s crib will frequently contain, let us say, “bodily fluids.”  A child’s room is often full of half-eaten snacks and crumbs, no matter how often we clean it.  This means that insects will often be found in a child’s room, because bugs go where the food is.

The very thought of insects crawling around in our child’s room, on his/her toys, in his/her bed, directly on the child, makes us tremble with horror; we want our child’s room to be the very cleanest and safest in the entire house, after all.

A child will be a child, no matter what, but we can help keep his/her room bug-free by putting a Repell-em trash bag in the wastebasket, and by hanging a Repell-em bag in the closet.  Many parents put a wadded-up Repell-em bag under the bed to help keep the bugs away.

Your child’s safety is the number one concern in your home, as it should be.  Using Repell-em products is one easy way to help KEEP your child safe.

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 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.

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 hadn’t used my suitcase since last May.  When I brought it upstairs from its storage place in the garage, I had to kill a few spiders that had taken up residence in there before I could use it.

When I put it back on the garage shelf after returning home, I did some serious thinking.  You have to understand that I HATE BUGS!!  ALL BUGS.  Yes, I know spiders aren’t bugs, but they’re close enough.

Then I thought, DOH.  Repell-em!!!

So before I stored my suitcase away, last May, I put a Repell-em trash bag in it.

I’m going to San Francisco tomorrow, to the BlogHer conference.  I needed my suitcase again.  I wondered what I’d find when I opened it.

It was actually no surprise that not a single insect of any kind was in that suitcase.  In fact, the inside of my suitcase has never smelled so good!

Mmmm.  Some people put a sachet in their luggage.  From now on, I’m just going to put a Repell-em trash bag in mine.  The good smell lasts longer, and it repels bugs.  Whatta deal!

I don’t what what kind they are, or why they’re there, but every summer, I get these disgusting little bugs under my kitchen sink.  It’s dry under there; no leaks or standing water.  The pipes are dry, too.  I don’t keep any organic substances under the sink; just soap!  Where do these bugs come from and why are there under the sink?

Rather, why WERE they under the sink, is more like it.  This summer, I wrapped a Repell-em bag around the U-pipe, and so far, not a single bug of any kind has shown its scaly face under there.

When the weather gets hot and muggy, the insects are in paradise.  Stick a Repell-em bag in all those enclosed spaces; they smell great to people, and you won’t be troubled by insects.  I’m serious.  I use nothing but Repell-em bags now, and not only are they the best trash bags ever, they’ve got so many other useful uses, I should write a book!

I was almost out of Repell-em trash bags today! This is a disaster, especially in the summer when the bugs are at their peak, and I knew if I ordered them online as I usually do, they wouldn’t get here before I ran out!

I always get my Repell-em products in approximately three days, which is FAST SERVICE, but I also knew I had only two bags left and I had to do something. There is NO WAY I’m going to use an inferior trash bag after discovering how fantastic Repell-em bags are!

I knew that I could buy Repell-em products at Cabela’s, but there isn’t one in this town. However, Repell-em products are worth driving a few miles for, so that’s what I did this afternoon.

When I asked the Cabela’s clerk where the Repell-em bags were, he told me and then he said, “A lot of people are asking for those; I’ll have to try them myself!”

I told him that would be a very smart move on his part. I know I’ll never use any other kind of trash bag again.

I like to keep a bowl of fresh fruit on my kitchen counter, and today is no exception.  I’ve got some red plums, some bananas, some Granny Smith apples, a few lemons, and one big orange.  There were more oranges earlier today but my husband likes to grab something out of the bowl almost every time he walks by, and my kids were here tonight.  So, the bowl is a little low on fruit tonight, but there’s still some in there!

There are also some fruit flies hovering over the bowl, and when I saw them I couldn’t believe my eyes!  I NEVER have fruit flies because I use Repell-em trash bags!

Then I remembered.  I gathered up the trash this morning and set it out on the deck.  Then, the kids came down and we all got in the car and went to town for dinner, and I still haven’t put a new Repell-em bag in the wastebasket!

There’s one there now, though.  I’ll go check out the fruit flies in a few minutes, and I can tell you right now that they’ll all be gone.

Oh, and that bag of garbage sitting out on my deck?  Nothing has touched it yet, and the raccoons and possums are out now, yes indeed they are.

That bag will still be intact in the morning.  AND, it’s full of chicken skin and leftover pizza!

It’s so humid here now that my glasses fog up when I step outside, and I’m momentarily blinded!  The cats are lying flat to the ground and the flowers are visibly drooping.  Really, the only thing that seems to be flourishing are the ants.

But not in my house or on my deck!  That’s because I have a Repell-em trash bag in the kitchen trash can, and a piece of Repell-em tablecloth hanging from the side of the deck.

My kitchen trash can is a big drawer, and when that drawer is closed, that’s a perfect place for ants.  I’d want to live there if I were an ant!  A closed drawer with a container full of garbage. . . think about it!

But the trash bag in that trash can is a Repell-em bag, and there will be NO ANTS or bugs of any kind in that drawer, or anywhere near it.  Not even in this sticky humid summer weather.  No way.

And that little piece of Repell-em hanging from the deck, flapping in the wind, sending that fragrance all across my deck, is keeping ALL insects - and all the animals, for that matter - AWAY from my deck.

And that’s the way I like it.  Thank you, Repell-em!  You do exactly what you claim to do, in every way.

Oh, and by the way?  No cockroaches, either.  NONE!
