All about the Repell-em garbage bags and tablecloths

Archive for the 'Recyclable' Category

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.

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.

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!

Today is Labor Day, but insects and other pests do not take holidays.  In fact, holidays are fantastic times to use Repell-em products, because on holidays there are always more people and more food and more, well, garbage.

Many people like to picnic on Labor Day, and what is a picnic without bees, ants, flies, and gnats?  Put a Repell-em tablecloth on the picnic table and put a Repell-em trash bag in the wastebasket and you’ll not see any of the usual picnic pests.

Won’t it be wonderful not to have to brush the bugs off your slice of watermelon before you eat it?

You don’t have to worry about the ingredients in Repell-em, either.  There is nothing in a Repell-em product that is in any way harmful to a human being.  Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients.

So put a Repell-em tablecloth on your picnic table and a Repell-em trash bag in the garbage can and you’ll be all set to have a bug-free, pest-free Labor Day picnic.

Try not to eat too much.  You’ve got a volleyball game in a few minutes.  :)

The long Labor Day weekend is fast approaching, and Labor Day has long been a time to have the traditional family picnic!

So, pack up the fried chicken and potato salad, throw a baseball and bat in the back of the van, and be sure to have extra shoes and socks for the kids, especially if you’re going to be near water.

One more important picnic supply would be the Repell-em trash bags and tablecloths; don’t forget those, for heaven’s sake, or your picnic will be overcome by mosquitoes, flies, and gnats, not to even mention the possums, raccoons, and stray dogs.

With Repell-em at your picnic, you’ll be able to concentrate on the food and the company, and not have to worry about being annoyed and bitten.  Don’t worry about the ingredients in Repell-em harming your kids or contaminating your food, either; Repell-em products are made of 100 natural ingredients and are absolutely harmless to people.

We went on a picnic today.  Ordinarily my husband doesn’t care for picnics, because he can’t stand the bugs.  Now that we have Repell-em tablecloths, though, that concern is gone and we’ve actually gone on several really fun picnics this summer.

A Repell-em tablecloth not only keeps the flying bugs, like mosquitoes and gnats, away from you and from your food, it also keeps the ants and other crawling insects away.  A picnic without ants!  Can you imagine?

Well, if you have a Repell-em tablecloth on your picnic table, you don’t have to imagine.  You’ll see for yourself.

Don’t worry about the ingredients in the Repell-em tablecloth harming your skin or your food, either.  Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, all of which are absolutely harmless.

There is nothing that is more important than our children, and we want to keep them safe at all times, as much as is in our power.

One thing we can do, to keep them safer, is to use Repell-em products.  With Repell-em, you will know that no insects will be anywhere near your children, whether in their own rooms, elsewhere in your house, or outside.

A Repell-em trash bag in all of the wastebaskets?  That guarantees no bugs in any room that has one of these.

A little strip of Repell-em around your child’s ankle and wrist?  That guarantees no mosquitoes or chiggers, or any other bug, will bite or sting or in any way come near your child as he/she plays outdoors.

A Repell-em tablecloth on the table, either indoors or outdoors?  That guarantees that your child and everyone else who is near will be able to eat in peace, knowing that no insects - or animals, either - will come near your child or his/her food.

Repell-em products are absolutely safe, too.  You need never worry about exposing your child to anything dangerous with Repell-em: Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are completely harmless and gentle to a child’s skin.

We here at Repell-em want to help you keep your children safe.  We can’t be there to guide your children through traffic, but we can be there to keep dangerous insects and animals away from your child, and away from the things your child might be touching.

Use Repell-em in your home, indoors and out.  You’ll be very glad if you do, for it will make a WORLD of difference.

On these hot, humid, summer evenings, the mosquitoes are out in full force.  Adults usually remember the insect repellent, although they don’t really need any if they’ve got a few strips of Repell-em trash bag or tablecloth to tie around their wrist and ankle.  Our children, running, playing, and dancing around us as we stroll along the beach or neighborhood, enjoying the sunset and the general feel of the summer, are usually protected too; those little Repell-em strips are perfect for children at play.

Remember, Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and are absolutely safe for a child’s skin.  Your skin, too.

It sounds awful to think about, but quite often we make sure the children are protected from insects, but we forget about the most helpless member of the family when it comes to protection against bugs:  the baby in the stroller!

It’s perfectly safe to tie a strip of Repell-em around your baby’s ankle, but don’t tie ANYTHING around your baby’s wrist; if the baby can get to it, he/she could choke.  Repell-em won’t harm a baby, or any living thing, but there is still the possibility of choking.  A little strip around the baby’s ankle is all he/she needs to be protected against insects while out for that evening stroll.  You can even tie (securely!) a strip of Repell-em around the handles of the stroller, and that will protect the baby and whoever is pushing the stroller.

Repell-em wants to help all members of your family, including YOU, be safe in the great and beautiful outdoors.  Repell-em is absolutely harmless to the skin or around your food, and it’s biodegradable, too.

With Repell-em products, your family will be safer, insect-free, and environmentally friendly.  That’s a Repell-em promise.

I love you, Repell-em!!!!

We eat outside a lot in the summer.  This used to be both wonderful and terrible; the wonderful part was being together and eating lots of great BBQ and corn on the cob, and playing volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.  The terrible part was dealing with the swarms and hordes of insects, that loved it when we ate out, too, and for all the same reasons.

Now, however, I use Repell-em tablecloths and Repell-em trash bags, both indoors and out.  We still have great BBQ and corn on the cob, and we still play volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows.   What’s different this summer is the fact that we no longer have to deal with any insects.  Not a one.  Nope.  None.  Zip.  Zero.  NO BUGS!

Repell-em products really do what they promise they’ll do.  They do it well, too.

I can’t even imagine having a picnic without Repell-em products now.

Bonus?  Just cut one edge off your Repell-em tablecloth and cut it into segments.  Tie a segment of Repell-em around each person’s wrist and ankle, and send them off to play in the great summertime outdoors.  The bugs won’t bother them.

You’ve got Repell-em’s word on that.

A small child’s room is a room we especially want to keep as clean as possible.  A small child’s room is also one of the hardest rooms to KEEP clean, because small children are just naturally messy.  They don’t mean to be; it’s just part of exploring this amazing new world they discover anew every moment.  We want them to be this way.  We wouldn’t change it even if we could.

What we CAN do, however, is try to keep our children’s rooms as clean, under the clutter, as we can.  Wherever there is clutter, there is a tendency for insects to move in and take up housekeeping.  When we pick up a little applesauce-smeared book and something scurries away from underneath it, we’re horrified, because this is a little child’s room and we don’t want ANYTHING with lots of legs scurrying around in it!

A child’s wastebasket is another place we often neglect when it comes to housekeeping.  In fact, the wastebasket is the repository for many things we remove from the floor and dispose of.  Insects and mice love wastebaskets, and a child’s wastebasket is even more full of tasty things than the kitchen wastebasket!

How can you keep your child’s room clean and safe from insects and rodents?  It’s easy.  Keep the child’s room as clutter-free as you can, and put Repell-em trash bags in the wastebasket and in the closet!

Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless.  Even if your child puts the Repell-em bag in his mouth and sucks on it, as little kids are prone to do, the Repell-em bag won’t harm the child in the least.  There is nothing in the Repell-em bag that could hurt your child’s digestive system, OR cause harm to the skin!  100% natural ingredients, and 100% biodegradable, too.

Line the baby’s wastebasket with a Repell-em bag, and put a Repell-em bag in the closet, too, and there will be no worry about insects or mice in your precious child’s room.
