Repell-em Blog

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.

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!

An ideal gift for someone who loves to camp would be package containing Repell-em tablecloths, Repell-em tent mats, and Repell-em tent liners. Throw in a box of Repell-em trash bags, and you’ll have a fantastic gift for the outdoors-loving person in your life!

With Repell-em products at the campsite, there will be no bugs and no animals to tear up your trash and spread it all over the woods. You’ll sleep in comfort because no mosquitoes or any other creepy crawling biting stinging insect will come near you.

If you yourself are an outdoorsy person, or if you have family and friends who love to camp, a box full of Repell-em products would be much appreciated!

Imagine! Camping without clouds of flies and mosquitoes biting and annoying you!

With Repell-em products, that can happen!

In the summer, we usually keep a large trash can out on the deck.  That’s where we deposit the watermelon rinds, corn husks, tomato peelings, etc, so they don’t mess up the kitchen.

The giant trash can used to have a lid but that blew off in the last windstorm and split down the middle, so there’s just a big open trash can out there.

You can imagine the problems that caused before I started using Repell-em trash bags exclusively: my deck was like a big possum buffet.  I spent many boring, tedious, and embarrassing hours crawling around my yard, picking up the bits of garbage that the wildlife had rejected.

Now, however, even with the lid gone, my garbage sits on the deck completely and 100% unmolested!  I’m embarrassed to admit to you how many watermelon and canteloupe rinds are in that trash bin as I type, and I’ve long since lost count of the corncobs.

I don’t have to worry or even think about that stuff now.  Repell-em trash bags have made my life so much simpler and better; there just aren’t enough positive things I could say about these products.

Try them.  You’ll love them too!

I’m getting some emails from people who want to know EXACTLY what the 100% natural ingredients in Repell-em products are, so here is this post again, with all the details!

Repell-em products repel almost all insects and animals, so they must be made out of some pretty poisonous ingredients, right?

Oh, so WRONG!

Repell-em products are 100% safe; you can eat off them, you can sleep on them, you can sit on them, you can harbor them inside your home knowing they are not only perfectly safe but also knowing that they are KEEPING you safe from unwanted animals, stinky smells, and insects and all the disgusting diseases and itchiness they can cause.

A house with Repell-em products in it is a cleaner, better-smelling, safer house.

And about those ingredients that make Repell-em products the extremely successful products that they are? Let’s check them out, just to make sure they’re all right for you to keep near your children.

“Peppermint.” Well, they make candy out of peppermint, so it must be entirely edible. Plus, peppermint smells really, really nice. So far, so good.

“Citronella.” We already know this keeps insects away because it’s so commonly used in outdoor candles. Completely harmless to humans. Well, we use it in Repell-em products, too. We’re still good.

“Rosemary.” Makes me remember the Simon and Garfunkle song, “Scarborough Fair.” Rosemary is a very edible herb. No danger yet.

“Cloves.” Mmm, I love to smell cloves. I put cloves in pumpkin pie, and persimmon pudding, and sweet-and-sour cocktail meatballs. In other words, cloves are edible, too.

“Geranium.” My mother always has huge pots of geraniums on either side of her front door in the summertime. They’re beautiful. They’re also perfectly safe; people even make tea out of them. Safe, safe, safe.

“Lemon.” Lemons are citrus fruits and people love to squeeze the juice and make lemonade. Everybody loves lemonade. Lemonade, lemon pie, lemon pudding. . . . you get the picture. Another absolutely safe ingredient.

“Apple.” Unless you’re Adam or Eve, apples aren’t going to cause you any harm. In fact, apples will keep the doctor away! Apples are healthy; one of the healthiest fruits out there. If apples are one of the Repell-em ingredients, then Repell-em must surely be a safe product.

All of these very natural, very safe ingredients, plus a little mineral oil, are what Repell-em products are made of. There is nothing remotely toxic, in any way, about any of them. It’s the combination that makes the bags repellent to insects and animals, even while the combined aroma of the bags is VERY pleasant to human noses.

Once the weather gets warm, there is always a half-filled bag of potting soil on my porch.  After a while, the animals and insects discover it and make it their home away from home; or worse, they make it their main home!

It’s bad enough, what the cats do when they find the bag of soil.  And when I need to use some of the potting soil, and put my hands in it, and come up with. . . . well, it’s no fun.

One summer, little burrowing bees found the bag of potting soil and THAT was an experience I don’t want to live through any time soon.

This summer, I’m keeping the leftover potting soil in a Repell-em trash bag.  No insects will come near it, no animals will, well, you know, in it.  Repell-em bags are thick and strong, so the soil won’t eat the bag away and then scatter all over the place.

Repell-em bags are PERFECT for storing summer gardening things, such as potting soil or fertilizer.  Plus, they’re pretty and red and look nice sitting behind the porch swing!

Actually, it’s after midnight, and there are four red Repell-em trash bags sitting out on my deck because there just wasn’t room for them in the kitchen.

With any other kind of trash bag, I would wake up in a few hours to find our trash strewn all over the yard, and all the raccoons, possums, and insects in the world feasting on our garbage.  I consider any trash bag that isn’t a Repell-em trash bag to be an inferior trash bag, by the way.

No inferior trash bags in my house, ever again!

We are a Repell-em family now.  And I love being able to set my trash out on my deck the night before we take it eight miles down the road to the dump.

Oh, and ever since I started using Repell-em products, exclusively, people come into my kitchen and ask me what that wonderful smell is; they think it’s a scented candle, or popourri.  That’s how good Repell-em products smell to people.  My cats, on the other hand, won’t come near them, but that’s exactly how it should be!
