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?

A household that uses EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products doesn’t have to worry about bedbugs, or weevils, or moths.  Oh my, indeed!With a Repellem tablecloth or trashbag in each closet, there will be no moths.With just a little strip of Repellem on each pantry shelf, there will be no weevils.  Your flour, cornmeal, etc. will always be clean and safe from contamination.With a Repellem tablecloth or trashbag between your mattress and box springs, you will never have to worry about bedbugs.  While you’re standing in your bedroom, in fact, it would be good to hang a piece of Repellem product over a hangar in the closet, as well.  Your coats woolens are safe, when Repellem is on the job.A home that uses EcoSmart Repellem products is safe from invading insects or vermin, which also means that a home that uses Repellem products will be much cleaner and safer for small children than a home that doesn’t use our products.With EcoSmart Repellem products, there is no need to use poisons or sprays that render surfaces and floors unsafe for babies to crawl around on them.  Your foods are also safe to eat, with a Repellem product in the pantry protecting them.Ever since my family discovered EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products, our home has seemed so much cleaner, so much safer, and so much more free of invading insects and vermin.

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.

It’s almost time to get those winter coats and warm sweaters out of storage!  If you packed them away in Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem bags, you’ll find that your winter woolens are clean, absolutely free of insects of any kind, and ready to wear in the snow and cold weather!

Now it’s time to pack away your summer things, and EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem bags are perfect for that, too! Just make sure all clothing is clean and completely dry before packing it away.  Put everything in Repellem bags, tie them off securely, and stuff ‘em under the bed or in the back of the closet, and don’t give them another thought.  No moths, spiders, mice, or any other pesky insect or rodent will even know they’re back there, because the 100% biodegradable, environmentally sound Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem bags are infused with natural ingredients that render them invisible and undetectable to almost all insects and animals!

In other words, your winter coats and clothing that have been packed away all summer in Repellem bags will be ready-to-wear, and your summer things will be safe and insect-free all winter long.

Packing your seasonal clothing in EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem bags is soooo much cheaper than storing them at the cleaner’s all season, and when it’s time to unpack and use them again, your clothing, blankets, etc, will still be absolutely clean and ready to use.

Using Repellem bags for storage is far safer than using mothballs or other chemicals to keep insects away from your woolens, too.  Your house and your small children are infinitely safer in an EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem household!

. . . 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!!

These two Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags are full of turkey carcasses. Both bags have back on my deck since Thursday night.

It is now Sunday, late afternoon, and as you can see, neither bag has been so much as touched by the millions of raccoons and possums and neighbor dogs that frequent my deck. In the past, we couldn’t set a bag of garbage out there for five minutes before its contents were scattered across the yard by wild animals dumpster-diving for the good, smelly stuff that was in there.

Here in southern Indiana, the weather has been in the fifties and sixties these past few days, and I’m pretty sure that the remainders of those two big turkeys didn’t smell all that good to humans after a few hours out there. However, animal and insect “noses” are different, and the usual onslaught of animal and insect hordes just did not appear.

That black cat? She’s been featured on this blog before, totally ignoring the contents of Ecosmartplastics Repellem garbage bags, and even napping on top of them without giving them so much as a swat.

Two trash bags full of Thanksgiving garbage, including the remains of two 19-pound turkeys. No animal even seemed to realize such a treat was sitting out there in full reach. Animals did not see the bags – the unique red color saw to that. Animals did not smell the bags – the unique 100% natural ingredients that make up the bags saw to that. No animals even seem to realize the bags were there, well within plain sight and easy dragging.

That’s because Ecosmart Repellem trash bags can not be seen or smelled by animals; therefore, animals leave them alone. Ecosmartplastics Repellem products are good for anything indoors or out – you’ll have no problems with insects or animals, including mice, moths, ants, spiders (I know spiders aren’t insects, but they react to Repellem like insects!) roaches, gnats, or pretty much anything that would hang, uninvited, in or out of your home.

Just look at those two red Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags. Since Thursday night, they’ve been sitting there. NOTHING has bothered them in the least. Nothing has even tried.  Millie, the black cat, isn’t even interested.

Proof positive! Ecosmartplastics Repellem products rock!

It’s autumn, and that’s spider time!  Those creepy and sometimes dangerous little – or big! – spiders are invading our homes and setting up camp in our shoes!

Be careful, in fact, when you get out your cold-weather shoes, for brown recluse spiders love to live in the toes of our boots.  A bite from a brown recluse is nothing to take lightly, either; they can even be fatal!

How do we get rid of spiders without spraying harmful chemicals?  Easy!  Just cut a few Ecosmart Repellem trash bags or tablecloths up, and arrange the pieces in, among, and around your shoes in your closet. Throw a piece of Repellem over your closet bar, too.  In fact, put your summer clothes in a Repellem bag before storing them away, and you’ll be really glad next spring when you get them out again.

The point is, EcoSmart Repellem products live up to their name:  They REPEL almost all bugs and things that look like bugs, and this means your home will be cleaner and safer for you and for your children.  Remember, if your child or infant is bitten by a spider, the results can be much worse than if an adult is bitten.  Use Ecosmart Repellem products around your house, and NOBODY will be bitten because all the bugs will be driven away.  When you think of Repellem, think “Pied Piper of Hamelin,” for Repellem is just as good at getting rid of unwanted “livestock” as the legendary Piper was!

Repellem is easy to purchase, too.  Order from our website, or find them at many stores as well.  CVS now carries Repellem products, as do Cabela’s, Vitamin Shoppe, and many others.

Especially if there are small children living in your home, Ecosmart Repellem is a wonderful way to keep your house clean, safe, and green.  Repellem products are absolutely harmless to humans, even tiny humans, and not only that; they’re also 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% natural products.

Best of all:  no bugs in your house!  They’ll keep the mice away, too!

We all want to do as much as we can to help the environment, but there are some things we just can’t do without!  Disposable trash bags are one of those things.

With EcoSmart Repellem trash bags, however, you can have the convenience of a large, strong trash bag AND the knowledge that you are doing a little bit to help the environment!

EcoSmart Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are 100% biodegradable.  EcoSmart Repellem products are also ideal for so many other purposes around your home and the outdoors, as well!

Our products will help keep your home clean and green, and will also help keep your children safe, because Repellem products will not harm your children or your pets.  EcoSmart Repellem products do not kill any animal or insect; they REPEL them.  Our products in your home are one of the easiest and most convenient ways for you to be clean AND green!  Our products in your home will always mean that your home will have no insects or mice whatsoever.

They’re perfect for outdoor barbecuing and camping!

Better still, they’re on sale right now if you order them from Cabela’s!
