Rumor has it that the coming summer is going to be an extra-hot one, and when the summer is extra hot, the insects are extra-populous.

An excess of bugs means a lot of bugs competing for your sweat, your pets, and your potato salad.

With animals and children in the house, you don’t want to use sprays, poisons, traps, or anything that might harm – or worse – a child or a pet.  You don’t want to use anything in your home that will contaminate your surfaces or your food.

With all of this in mind, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are exactly what you need to keep your home safer, cleaner, and greener.

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are made of 100% biodegradable, 100% safe, 100% natural materials; there is nothing in our products that is harmful to humans or animals.

Animals and insects are, however, absolutely repelled by Repellem.  They won’t come near your family or your home, and this will make your house even cleaner and safer!

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are the ideal animal and insect repellants for your precious home and your even more precious family.

Order yours today, before the hot weather hits!

Not only will EcoSmart Plastics Repellem trash bags and other products prevent animals from sensing and therefore tearing up and making a mess of your garbage, your Repellem bags will also keep the bugs away.

We had a cookout on the 4th, and everyone commented about the complete and total lack of insects buzzing around us out on the deck. Well, it was because of the trash bags that accumulated as the cookout progressed. With EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products, you won’t ever have to use dangerous insect repellents that contain poisons; your Repellem tablecloth and the bags of cookout trash will take care of the bug problem.

There are so many reasons why I use EcoSmart Repellem products in my home, but one of them is that I can use them safely around my children, and around food, as Repellem products contain only natural ingredients that are 100% harmless to both. And while the cats and dog stay away when Repellem products are in use, the products won’t harm my pets, either.

Everybody is outdoors a lot in summer, and it’s so nice to be able to BE outdoors and not have to worry about batting away the insects all the time.

This is been the wettest, rainiest, stormiest spring in living memory, and with the moisture come the bugs.  Bugs love wet.  Bugs love humidity.Just mowing the grass, in the bright sunshine, the gnats, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and you-name-it come out in droves, sensing fresh blood.  You can spray your body with expensive chemicals and the bugs will just gnaw around it.However, there’s a way to spend some outdoor time without risking dangerous smelly chemicals.  It’s easy. Just tie a strip of EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem around your ankle, and the bugs will give you a wide berth.    Tie a few strips around sticks and place them in your garden, and your tomatoes will be bug-free, too.On your deck, tie some Repellem strips here and there on the posts, and you can sit on your swing or cook out without constantly batting the bugs away.  There will BE no bugs.EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are wonderful in any season, but in the hot, humid summer weather you’ll be even more grateful that you’ve got ‘em!They’re absolutely 100% safe to use on your tiny children, too.

More than spring bulbs are waking up and presenting themselves for our approval; the bugs are making themselves known, too! I’m sure you’ve already noticed that bugs and spiders are awake and trying desperately to get where the easy food is: our homes.

It’s extra important in the springtime to be sure we don’t leave food out where it will only look like a large free buffet to ants, gnats, flies, roaches, and other lovely creatures we don’t invite into our houses; they gatecrash! But we can’t ever clean a house thoroughly enough to keep out the bugs; there is, however, an easy fix for the annual springtime insect invasion. EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products.

As long as there’s a Repellem trash bag in every wastecan, a few strips of Repellem in every kitchen cabinet – don’t worry about your food, as Repellem products are 100% natural and completely harmless – you won’t have to worry about the bugs. Bugs will stay as far away from a Repellem house as possible.

So will the spiders.

I used to have to take down and clean all the light fixtures in spring and summer, at least once a week, to dump out the dead bugs. Now, since I’ve used Repellem in my kitchen and in all the closets in the house, I never have to take down the light fixtures. I’m short, and it was a big annoying deal, and it’s so nice NOT to have to do that any more.

Let me sum up. Warm weather is here, or it’s coming soon (Depends on your location, of course) and if you spread the Repellem products around your house, you’ll never have to deal with bugs.

Oh, and those winter coats hanging in the closet, waiting for next winter? Just cover them with a Repellem trash bag and the moths won’t even know they’re there.

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are the best on the market today. My house is proof. Prove it with your house, too.

Even though the snow is still coming down in many areas of the country, the sun is shining more and more and the spring bulbs are trying to punch through the cold soil in many other places.  No matter where you hang your hat, though, it will soon be time to hang your winter coats away, too.

For the past several years, I’ve been storing our heavy winter coats in individual EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem trash bags, and we have never seen a single moth in my house.

The horror of opening a closet door and seeing a handful of those tiny clothes moths flutter out will not happen here.  My Repellem trash bags will not allow it!

So go ahead and pack away your winter woolens and wrap your package in Repellem trash bags or tablecloths; you’ll save both money and aggravation.  Your home will be cleaner, too, with no insects, living or dead, to mess with.  Your home will also be safer and greener, as EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products are 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% safe and natural ingredients.  No poisons or dangerous chemicals whatsover.

Next fall, when you take your winter woolens out again, they will be intact.  Nothing wrapped in Repellem will ever become a dish on a moth or weevil’s buffet!

As for those bedbugs so many people are seeing and getting upset over. . . . I’ve never seen a single bedbug in my house.  I think they’re scared of Repellem products, too.

It’s almost time to get those winter coats and warm sweaters out of storage!  If you packed them away in Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem bags, you’ll find that your winter woolens are clean, absolutely free of insects of any kind, and ready to wear in the snow and cold weather!

Now it’s time to pack away your summer things, and EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem bags are perfect for that, too! Just make sure all clothing is clean and completely dry before packing it away.  Put everything in Repellem bags, tie them off securely, and stuff ‘em under the bed or in the back of the closet, and don’t give them another thought.  No moths, spiders, mice, or any other pesky insect or rodent will even know they’re back there, because the 100% biodegradable, environmentally sound Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem bags are infused with natural ingredients that render them invisible and undetectable to almost all insects and animals!

In other words, your winter coats and clothing that have been packed away all summer in Repellem bags will be ready-to-wear, and your summer things will be safe and insect-free all winter long.

Packing your seasonal clothing in EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem bags is soooo much cheaper than storing them at the cleaner’s all season, and when it’s time to unpack and use them again, your clothing, blankets, etc, will still be absolutely clean and ready to use.

Using Repellem bags for storage is far safer than using mothballs or other chemicals to keep insects away from your woolens, too.  Your house and your small children are infinitely safer in an EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem household!

Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to have an end-of-the-summer cookout!  And while it might be very true that this time of year is very hot and humid in many areas (here, for example) and that insects love to crawl, fly, and hover around anything they perceive as “edible” at any time and especially so in weather conditions like these, with an EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem trash bag and tablecloth at your picnic, you’ll have nothing whatsoever to worry about.

Try it yourself.  Remember, Ants, gnats, flies, and bees can smell your fried chicken and potato salad from miles away, and they tend to pass the word along to all of their friends, and what does that mean? It means you’re sharing your chocolate cake and lemonade with bugs.

Of course, if you’re using a Repell-em tablecloth on your outdoor table, you won’t have to worry about bugs at all. Even if they smell your food, they won’t come near it because the tablecloth REPELS them.

Don’t worry about any “dangerous” pesticides or poisons in the tablecloth, either. That tablecloth is so safe, you could lay your chicken leg right on it and spoon your baked beans from it and you’d be just fine. Your mom would smack your hand for being rude, but you’d deserve it. The point is, you wouldn’t suffer ANY effects from it! Other than what your mom doles out, that is.

Repell-em products are all-natural, remember? There is nothing in them that could hurt a human in any way. They smell GOOD to humans, too.

It’s just the animal kingdom that finds Repell-em products repulsive. That’s a GOOD thing!

Not only are EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products extremely effective at keeping almost any bug or animal away, the products are also sturdy and strong, and can be used and re-used many times.  For example, we’re cooking out tomorrow, and the bright red Repellem tablecloth we’ll be using has already been used twice for our summer cookouts.  In other words, not only is the plastic super strong, the repellant that’s in it is also super strong, and lasts for weeks.

Bon appetite, y’all.  And a bug-free Labor Day cookout to you all.

Look closely at my tomato garden and you will see that each tomato cage has been wound with a strip of Repell-em, and between the scent, the ends waving in the breeze, and the large Repell-em piece acting as a scarecrow there on the end, I really believe we’re going to get some tomatoes for ourselves this year.

I don’t have to worry about “insect repellent” touching my food and contaminating it in any way, because Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless.

The cats were used to playing in that railroad flat all winter, and it’s really funny to watch them go running toward it and then stop short, look around with a bewildered expression, and then turn and walk away.  The deer have been using that garden patch as a salad bar all winter, but now that there is actual food in it, they behave as though they can’t even see or smell it.  That’s because they can’t.  The EcoSmartPlastics Repellem strips have rendered my tomatoes unplottable!

Here’s a closer shot of a few tomato cages, so you can see in greater detail what I’ve done with the strips of Repell-em. It’s nothing fancy, obviously, but so far it’s working like a charm!

There are so many uses for your Repell-em products. So far, every experiment I’ve done with them has been successful!

All the climate scientists are reminding us that this summer’s batch of insects is the worst in a long, long time, but EcoSmartPlastics Repellem can ensure that your cookouts and picnics are bug-free, too.  And if you go for a pleasant summer walk, make it even more pleasant by tying a strip of Repellem around your ankle and wrist.  You’ll stroll absolutely unmolested by mosquitoes, gnats, chiggers, and any other summer blood-sucking pest.

EcoSmart Repellem products are almost like magic; they work so well, and are completely harmless.  Amazing!

. . . and grilling time means outdoors time.  This extra-humid and extra-pollen-ish summer has more than its share of happy and excited bugs, but when we had a cookout this past weekend, we weren’t bothered a bit by insects – not a single, tiny bit.

We didn’t use any dangerous bug sprays or smelly candles, either.  It’s not good to use poisons around food, pets, or children, and a typical cookout has all three.  All we did was put an Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem tablecloth on both round deck tables, and a couple of Repellem trash bags in the wastebaskets.  We’d need tablecloths and trash bags anyway; why not use the best: products that not only serve their usual purpose, but also keep away almost every kind of insect imaginable?

Our cooking could have been plagued with insects, attracted by the sweat, blood, and smells of the cooking food, but it wasn’t.  We didn’t have to sit at the table eating with one hand and swatting bugs away with the other.

We didn’t have to sit and put up with the overwhelming odor of anti-bug skin sprays or citronella candles, either.  All we smelled was food.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products are versatile and so very, very useful.  Why put up with insects at your picnic when you can keep them away with a tablecloth?  Why put up with mice and roaches in your kitchen trash can when you can keep them away with a trash bag?

I have used Ecosmartplastics Repellem and Eco-Smartbag products ever since I first heard of them several years ago.  They are far superior to any other kind of plastic product I’ve ever used, and they are the ONLY ones that keep away insects and wild animals.   100% biodegradable and made of 100% natural products, Repellem tablecloths and trash bags will turn your buggy summers into insect-free vacations.
