All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'Outdoors' Category

When my children were babies, I was afraid to put them on a blanket in the grass because I was afraid that an insect might bite them.

Now, I would just lay a Repell-em tablecloth on the grass, cover it with a small blanket, lay the baby on it, and not waste a second worrying about bugs.  Repell-em won’t let a bug anywhere NEAR your baby.

Insects can seriously harm an infant.  Ticks, fleas, bees, chiggers, even ants, can sting or bite.  But with Repell-em at your side, you can let your baby learn about nature by being out IN nature!

Don’t worry for even a moment about Repell-em and your baby; Repell-em is made of 100% natural ingredients, all of which are absolutely harmless to all humans, even tiny babies.

It’s important for babies and small children to get outside, and to learn to enjoy and appreciate nature.  With Repell-em, it’s SAFE for them to explore this wonderful world, as well!

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!

Since I live out in the country, it’s always been difficult to set out any kind of decoration that was even remotely “edible,” because the raccoons, possums, and deer would descend on my porch and devour it.  Potted plants, flowers, anything made of straw, even the wreath off the front door - nothing was safe.  Every year the kids would carve jack-o-lanterns and set them out, and every year “something ” would come up on the porch in the night and eat them.

This year will be different.  This year, I’m setting the kids’ pumpkins on a table covered with a Repell-em tablecloth.

Rain won’t hurt Repell-em products, and I’m counting on Repell-em to keep the hungry animals away from the kids’ Halloween pumpkins.

I’ll keep you posted!

Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, such as lemons, apples, citronella, peppermint, rosemary, cloves, geraniums, and a little mineral oil.  There is not a single drop or dot of anything poisonous, and absolutely NO Deet, in any Repell-em product.

Deet can be dangerous, both to human skin and to the environment.  Deet is poisonous, and hazardous if taken internally.  It’s a pesticide, not a repellent.  It’s made of chemicals.

Repell-em is absolutely harmless, even if your child puts it in his mouth.  Repell-em doesn’t even harm the insects or animals; it just REPELS them!

Smart parents don’t keep dangerous poisons in the house, but with Repell-em products, parents don’t need to worry at all about their children getting into the Repell-em.  It won’t hurt them.  And using Repell-em trash bags, tablecloths, and camping extras will actually help keep your children SAFE, because the insects and animals won’t come near them!

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.

How long does a Repell-em trash bag keep its potency?  Well, usually people don’t keep a filled trash bag around long enough to really tell, but this summer, I wrapped strips of Repell-em trash bag around my tomato cages.  That was pretty far back, more like late spring than summer.

Until last week, there was not a sign of an animal or insect in my garden.

Today, however, I did see some gnats out there.

So naturally, I put fresh Repell-em strips in my garden.  I figure, given the track record of the previous Repell-em strips, these new ones should last until after Thanksgiving.  Of course, the garden will be frozen by then, but you never know.  I can remember a few seasons when we still had tomatoes in the garden at Thanksgiving in Indiana, and this year, I’m ready for them.  No deer or insects will get my autumn garden, either!

Thank you, Repell-em, for living up to your name and lasting so incredibly long!

I will admit that I was skeptical when I first heard about Repell-em products.  After all, I lived out in the country and the insects and animals were just something I had to live with, right?  You set your trash outside too early, the animals tear it apart.  You put some fruit in a bowl, and the gnats go nuts.

But I learned after just a few days that Repell-em products really did what they claimed they’d do.  Ever since I started to use them, I’ve not had to crawl around in my yard, picking up garbage that had been scattered by raccoons and possums, neighbor’s dogs and my own cats.  I haven’t had to use any kind of vegetable or flower spray or dust; a little strip of Repell-em kept all the bugs away from my garden and my roses.  When we eat out on the deck, we are not troubled by flies or bees or gnats, because the pretty red Repell-em tablecloth keeps away all the pests.

I can recommend Repell-em products to all of you because I tried them myself.  I now use them exclusively.

You should, too.

I planted ten new Breakout rosebushes in the front of my house this summer, and tied a little strip of Repell-em around the “trunk” of each one.  All ten of those rosebushes are covered with blooms, and not a single leaf on any of them has been molested by insects.  Ten pristine, perfect, blossom-covered rosebushes, and I give Repell-em the credit for that.

There is one rosebush behind my house, right by the deck.  I forgot to tie a piece of Repell-em around that one, and today I noticed that while it’s still alive, and has a few flowers on it, most of the leaves are lacy and eaten.  It’s quite a contrast with the roses in the front of the house.  I feel bad for forgetting to tie the Repell-em around this one, but I did it today, and I expect a full recovery soon.  I’ll keep you all posted.

The point here is that Repell-em really does keep your expensive plants alive.  Flowers, trees, vegetables. . . you name it, Repell-em protects it.

Our tomatoes in the back garden are doing extremely well, and have not once been bothered by insects or animals.  We have never sprayed or dusted them with anything; the little strip of Repell-em around the stalk of each, and around the tomato cages, have done the trick.

It was such a simple, easy little thing to do, and it’s kept my plants healthy all summer.

Thank you, Repell-em.
