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 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.

Don’t forget:  You’ve got until Valentine’s Day to sign up for the Repellem Contest!

My deck used to be almost unusable, because that’s where we tossed our full trash bags.  After a day or two - sometimes, within minutes - the possums and raccoons caught scent of our garbage and descended on the deck like piranha, tearing those cheap white trash bags to pieces, feasting on the smelly garbage, and leaving the deck covered with shreds of white plastic and whatever  garbage even the animals didn’t want.  Sitting out on the deck, in the swing, became an ordeal.  Besides, we never felt that the deck was really clean or even safe, because of all those animals swarming over it in the night.  Sometimes, even in the day!

With EcoSmart’s Repellem trash bags, though,  I really feel that my deck is clean.  I still toss my filled trash bags out there in their own little corner at night, but in the morning, lo and behold, those bulging trash bags, still full of smelly goodness (if you’re a raccoon, that is) are intact.  Untouched.

My deck is clean.

I don’t have to worry about the children stepping in visible - or invisible- possum poo.  I don’t have to crawl on my hands and knees, picking up bones and shreds of plastic.

I feel safer and cleaner.  My entire home feels safer and cleaner.

Greener, too, since Repellem trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely biodegradable.

I feel as though I’m helping to keep the entire planet cleaner and greener when I use Repellem products.

In fact, I feel secure in stating that if everyone used EcoSmart’s Repellem products, the entire planet WOULD be cleaner, greener, and a lot safer.

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!

If your trash bags look like this, congratulations on your safer, cleaner, cuter, Repell-em home.

If your trash bags are white, or clear, or just plain ol’ black, well, I bet you’re paying a LOT for something that’s going to split, stink, and become a plaything for the neighborhood dogs if you try to set it out the night before, or even an hour before, the garbage truck comes by.

Repell-em trash bags are far more than just pretty, although they ARE pretty, aren’t they!  I have the red ones, and everybody comments on them.

Repell-em trash bags are also thicker, stronger, and best of all, when you use them in your home, you won’t have any mice, or gnats, or fleas.  Plus, when you set them outside, the special Repell-em formula doesn’t let animals or bugs see or smell them, so they leave them alone!  It’s AWESOME!

I live out in the country, and the raccoons and possums, as well as the neighbors’ dogs, used to play havoc with my trash if I tried to set it out on the deck.  Since I’ve been using Repell-em trash bags, I can set my trash outside the night before we take it to the dump, and NOTHING TOUCHES IT!

Repell-em has made my home safer and cleaner.  Why not let Repell-em do the same for yours?

You can buy them online, or get them at Cabela’s.  More stores added all the time, too!

The weather is getting colder every day here; in fact, this weekend, it’s supposed to FREEZE!  We all know what that means: the animals who live outdoors are going to try to get indoors where it’s warm.

My hospitality does not extend to mice, raccoons, and possums.

Therefore, I’m gladder than EVER that I use Repell-em trash bags in my kitchen and, in fact, every wastebasket in my house.  With Repell-em in the house, you won’t have any mice in your house.

I still check my shoes before I put them on, just from force of habit.  But ever since I started using Repell-em, nothing rattles in there when I shake them!

Mice are a constant problem when you live out in the country as I do, and in the winter the problem gets even worse.  Using Repell-em products removes this problem completely, freeing me to concentrate on more important things such as the election.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if the White House used Repell-em?  Then again, Repell-em products are so good at completely eliminating all unwanted pests from any home, perhaps it wouldn’t be such a good idea to introduct Repell-em to politics.  There wouldn’t be anybody left to vote for!

Two of the colors most easily noticed by animals are black and white - these are the colors of most brands of garbage bags!  In other words, when you put your trash in most major brands of trash bag, you’re practically INVITING the animals to come on over, feast on your garbage, and scatter everything else all over the neighborhood.

Animals can’t see the color RED very well, and Repell-em bags are red.  So right off the bat, Repell-em has the advantage over Hefty, Glad, and the others, of being invisible to animals.  Also, no matter how thick those OTHER trash bags might be - and none of them is really very thick at all! - it doesn’t really matter because the animals can smell the garbage right through all the other brands of trash bags.  Repell-em trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients that are also 100% biodegradable, and no matter what kind of smelly goodies might be inside your Repell-em trash bags, the animals won’t care because they can’t smell it.

I’ve been using Repell-em trash bags for 20 months now, and there is NO WAY I would ever use any other brand.  I’ve already tried the others, and none of them lived up to their claims.

Repell-em, on the other hand, has kept every promise it’s ever made.  I’ve never used such a superior product before!

I’ve only got a few Repell-em trash bags left, so it’s off to the Repell-em Store for me, to order some more before I run completely out.  I don’t want to be left with nothing but a few old Hefty bags, left over from the days before I wised up and started using Repell-em products exclusively.

If I set a Hefty or Glad trash bag, full of garbage, out on my deck in the evening, it’s a sure thing that I’ll be greeted in the morning by my trash spread out all over the yard, because the possums and raccoons and dogs in the area will have smelled the garbage right through the Glad and Hefty plastic, and those white bags are visible, to animals, from far, far away.

No, for me and my family, it’s Repell-em trash bags, and always will be, from now on.  I didn’t really believe the claims at first, but after using them all these months, I sure believe it now!  I’ve tried it for myself, you see, and I discovered that every single Repell-em claim was absolute truth.

I can set my trash out on the deck at night, and the next morning that bag of trash will be pristine.  Animals can’t smell what’s in it, no matter WHAT might be in it, and the red color of Repell-em bags can’t be seen by animals, either.

Tonight, the Repell-em trash bags will be full of goodies, because I cleaned out my freezer and threw away all the food that was in the bottom and the back.  If I put that kind of load in a Hefty or Glad bag, the animals would come from miles around to play on my deck and feast on my expired frozen goodies.

But in a Repell-em bag, a raccoon could dance on top of it and not notice what it was.

Thank you, Repell-em.  Every single claim you make is true.  I know, because I tried them all for myself.

The trash does seem to accumulate, and in the past, we would add each additional full trash bag to the growing pile THAT WE HAD TO KEEP IN THE KITCHEN, because if we set anything out on the deck, the possums and raccoons would scatter it to the four winds.  It was genuinely icky.

Now, however, thanks to Repell-em trash bags, I can set each bag of trash out on the deck, discreetly in the corner, of course, and my kitchen is garbage-free.  I couldn’t do this with Hefty or Glad or any other major - or minor - brand of trash bags.  I tried, but it just didn’t work.  Animals can spot those thin white trash bags from miles away, and anything that’s in a Hefty or Glad bag can be smelled by an animal easily.

Repell-em trash bags are red, a shade that can’t be easily seen by animals, and the combination of 100% natural ingredients make whatever is inside the bag invisible, too.  In other words, animals can’t see Repell-em bags and animals can’t smell what’s in a Repell-em bag.

I can set our garbage out on the deck a few days before Trash Day and nothing will disturb it.

And it sure beats keeping full trash bags in the house.  Yuck, I hated that!  Now, I don’t have to.

Thank you, Repell-em.  You’ve cleaned up my act in so many ways!

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.
