Repell-em Blog

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.

Don’t forget to sign up for EcoSmart Repellem’s big blog contest!  First prize is a big one, folks:  $250.00 worth of merchandise from Repellem!  Second prize is big, too: $100.00 worth of merchandise; and third prize looks pretty good, too: $50.00 worth of merchandise.  BIG PRIZES!  FANTASTIC MERCHANDISE!

I’m not eligible to enter, but if I won, I’d probably take my prize money out on the Repellem trash bags.  I absolutely love them; they keep my house free of insects and mice - completely - and that includes clothes moths and those nasty weevils that get in flour and dry foods.  My cats have never had a single flea, either.

Then again, I do love those Repellem tableclothes; with one of those on my patio table, we can sit out there as long as we want, and not a single fly, gnat, or mosquito will come near.  The lightning bugs don’t seem to be affected, but that’s a GOOD thing!  I love fireflies.

My sister, on the other hand, says she would use her winnings to get a lot of Dog Poop Bags.  I have to giggle at that word, but she says Repellem dog poop bags are the best in the universe, and after she scoops up the poop and puts it in those Repellem bags, she can’t smell it at ALL.

When YOU win, you can “spend” your winnings right here on anything you want!  Once you’re used EcoSmart Repellem products, you’ll never even be tempted to use anything else.

You’ve got until Valentine’s Day - February 14 - to enter.  We’ll draw a name out of a hat that weekend, and announce the winner on Monday, February 16!!!  Maybe it will be. . . . YOU!

I used to buy trash bags at WalMart, or K-Mart, or Target, and I bought whatever was on sale.  I had no brand loyalty at all.

For a little over a year, however, I haven’t purchased any trash bags at a store at ALL.  On sale, or not, I don’t care.  There is no trash bag sold at these stores that I want.  Not any more.

In my home, we use EcoSmart Repellem products.  Repellem is the only trash bag I will ever use, now that I know and understand their superiority. 

 Back when I used Hefty, or Glad, or some other brand of trash bag, I thought the only use for a trash bag was for, well, trash.  Even with just that one use, those brands of trash bags could never withstand raccoons, or possums, or even the family pets.  No matter how tightly tied up these trash bags might be, animals could smell what was inside, and could easily claw through them and scatter the garbage all over the yard.  I hated that.

Now, with Repellem trash bags, not only are the animals unable to smell or sense the trash, but the Repellem bags are much stronger and thicker than Glad or Hefty bags.  There really is no comparison at all; Repellem is far superior to any other brand.

Besides being great for trash, though, Repellem products can be used in many other ways as well.  Remember:  Repellem products not only repel animals; they also repel insects!  Since I started using Repellem, there have been no mice, or moths, or cockroaches, or gnats, or weevils in my house.  I live out in the country, so this is not a minor thing; I’ve used a LOT of different products to try to keep these things away, but nothing ever worked as well as Repellem products.

Repellem products are also completely non-poisonous - they are perfectly safe to use around children.  EcoSmart Repellem products are made of 100% natural ingredients, are biodegradable, and since I’ve been using them, I feel as if I’m helping to save the earth.

EcoSmart Repellem products are available in some stores, but I order mine from the Repellem website.   I’m a computer person, and it’s just easier for me. 

I will never use any trash bag but EcoSmart Repellem.  Ever.

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!

One of our readers has asked me about Repell-em’s ability to really keep moths and weevils out of her home.  She’s tired of wasting money by having to throw away infested dog food, flour, etc., and wants to know if Repell-em will really help.  Here is my reply to her:

Dear Charlene,

I think my weevils came in with the big 25-pound sack of flour I bought at Sam’s Club.  They spread to everything: the cornmeal, the cat food, the rice, pretty much everything that was edible and dry.  I tried everything; for a while, bay leaves seemed to work, but they lost their “spark” after a while and the bugs came back.

When I started writing for Repell-em, the product was so new to me, I wasn’t really sure what all it would do besides keep large animals away from your trash, so I did all kinds of experiments myself, right here in my own house.

What I discovered was, that Repell-em was like magic.

Every month, I cut a Repell-em trash bag into squares and place them here and there in my pantry, and INSIDE the bags or cannisters (I tape it to the underside of the cannister lid) and I have not had a single weevil, moth, or any other kind of horrible bug (they’re all horrible if they’re in your house, in my opinion) since.  Repell-em is 100% natural, so it won’t harm anything or anyone, and it won’t poison or taint your food.  It doesn’t kill, even the bugs, but it drives them away!  It really does work.  I just got our winter coats out for the season, and they’re as perfect as if I’d stored them at the dry cleaner’s, and it’s because I hung each coat inside a Repell-em trash bag.  We’ve got Repell-em in the backs of all our closets - it keeps the moths away, and also the mice!

But those pesky weevils were so icky and nasty and EXPENSIVE (think of the wasted foods!) that I decided to see if Repell-em would work on them, and it DID.

I recommend it.  Not because I work for them, because I don’t.  I just write for them.  I recommend Repell-em because I use it myself and it works. If I didn’t believe in the product, I couldn’t write for it.  I believe in it because I use it, every day.  And now, I wouldn’t use any other brand.  Ever.

Thank you so very much for inquiring.

Sincerely,
–Jane

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!

I’m beginning to pack away some of our summer clothing, and guess what I’m putting it in before I throw it in the back of the guest room closet?

Repell-em trash bags, of course.

When I unpacked our heavy coats the other day to see if they’d  see us through another winter, and they smelled wonderful and were absolutely and 100% free of moths or ANY unwelcome guest, I realized then and there that I would never again pack away an article of clothing, a blanket, or ANYTHING made of fabric, without making sure there was some Repell-em in there somewhere with it.

So, I got out my last box of Repell-em trash bags - time to order some more! - and started putting away our shorts and all of the sleeveless shirts.  I put the swimsuits in a piece of Repell-em tablecloth, as we might need those once more, but everything went into those fantastic extra-large Repell-em trash bags.  Mmm, I love the way they smell!  They have a fragrance that reminds me of expensive candles, or potpourri.  It’s no wonder, either, since some of their 100% natural ingredients are the same thing that goes into expensive candles and potpourri.

Anyway, I know that when I unpack our summer things next spring, everything will be in perfect condition.  I can trust Repell-em for that.

And so can you.

Last spring, I packed all of our fall and winter coats and jackets away in large Repell-em trash bags.  I just slipped a big Repell-em bag over the hanger and tied it in a knot at the bottom.

Last night, I unpacked a light autumn jacket for my husband, and instead of being greeted by the usual faintly musty odor of packed-away wool, I was instead greeted by the aroma of lemons and peppermint, because even after several months of hanging in the closet, that Repell-em bag had retained its pleasant fragrance which meant, of course, that it had also retained its potency in keep away all manner of insects.

Speaking of which, there was no trace of moths anywhere to be found on that jacket.  I am confident that next month when I unpack the heavy winter coats, they will smell good and will be completely untouched by moths, too.

Repell-em products have so many uses!  With Repell-em, a trash bag is much more than just a trash bag, and a tablecloth has many more uses than just being spread on a tabletop.

I don’t know how I managed without Repell-em.  Seriously, I don’t.

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.
