Repell-em Blog

This extra-hot summer weather doesn’t keep outdoor-lovers indoors, and the excess of insects that are swarming everywhere because of that same humidity and heat can’t keep outdoor-lovers inside, either!

Just because there are bugs everywhere, that doesn’t mean we have to put up with them. Just a few EcoSmart Plastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products here and there in your house and car will keep almost every single insect away.

Camping? Be sure to bring your Repellem tent mat. There won’t be a single bug in your tent. Put a Repellem trash bag in the bottom of your sleeping bag, and there won’t be any bugs in there, either. In fact, put a Repellem trash bag by your campsite and a Repellem tablecloth on your camp table, and you can leave the fly swatter at home.

With EcoSmart Repellem products, you can also leave the dangerous bug sprays at home, too.  Better yet?  Leave those things at the store.  With Repellem, you won’t need anything else.

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.

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.

A household that uses EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products doesn’t have to worry about bedbugs, or weevils, or moths.  Oh my, indeed!With a Repellem tablecloth or trashbag in each closet, there will be no moths.With just a little strip of Repellem on each pantry shelf, there will be no weevils.  Your flour, cornmeal, etc. will always be clean and safe from contamination.With a Repellem tablecloth or trashbag between your mattress and box springs, you will never have to worry about bedbugs.  While you’re standing in your bedroom, in fact, it would be good to hang a piece of Repellem product over a hangar in the closet, as well.  Your coats woolens are safe, when Repellem is on the job.A home that uses EcoSmart Repellem products is safe from invading insects or vermin, which also means that a home that uses Repellem products will be much cleaner and safer for small children than a home that doesn’t use our products.With EcoSmart Repellem products, there is no need to use poisons or sprays that render surfaces and floors unsafe for babies to crawl around on them.  Your foods are also safe to eat, with a Repellem product in the pantry protecting them.Ever since my family discovered EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products, our home has seemed so much cleaner, so much safer, and so much more free of invading insects and vermin.

For several years now, I’ve used a Repellem tablecloth as a Christmas tree skirt.  I have three cats, you see, and all those dangling ornaments were a temptation too awesome to pass by.

With that Repellem tree skirt, though, the cats ignore the tree completely.  The 100% natural ingredients in Repellem products create an aura that makes animals unable to sense the presence of objects that would normally be fodder for devouring and messing up or scattering all over the place.

Not now.  My Repellem tree skirt keeps my Christmas tree safe and intact.

My next-door neighbor was visiting earlier this week.  She has two small children and another on the way, and was really anxious to get her decorations and tree up before she had the baby.  With a new puppy and two cats living in her house, though, she didn’t know what to do.  “What if the animals or toddlers knock my tree down while I’m in the hospital?”  she asked me.

I gave her one of my Repellem tablecloths, and now her tree is up and she says the dogs & cats haven’t come near it.  The children are still interested, but they, at least, can understand what “Get away from that tree!” means!

I also told her what our “neighbor on the other side” has been doing for the past couple of Christmases; she wrapped an empty box in bright red Repellem, stuck a big white bow on it,  and put it under her tree with the rest of the gifts.  That smallish Repellem-wrapped box is sufficient to keep all the rest of her gifts AND her tree safe from her curious dogs and small children.

With small children, we all want things that are 100% safe to use around kids.  Repellem certainly fits that description!

Remember, too, that if you have a real evergreen tree, Repellem will also keep the insects away from it and out of it.

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.

EcoSmartPlastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products are among the most versatile products I’ve ever used!  Not only do these products do everything they’re supposed to do; they do much more!  It seems as if every week I discover more things these products can do, and do WELL!

How many trash bags have you ever bought that will not only be receptables for your garbage and trash but will also keep insects and animals away from your garbage and trash?  Or be made of 100% recyclable, biodegradable, natural ingredients?  Or keep your winter woolens safe from moths?  Or keep the deer and bugs away from your garden?

How many outdoor tablecloths have you ever bought that will also keep the mosquitoes and gnats away from your picnic?

How many such products have you used in the past that caused you to worry and hesitate to use in or near a child or a child’s room for fear of poison, since small children chew on pretty much everything?  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem products, you won’t have these worries.  100% natural, harmless ingredients.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem products don’t even harm the insects and animals it repels; they just, well, REPEL them.

Even the thickest, finest, and most expensive trash bags can not be set outside the night BEFORE the trash truck comes; dogs can smell that feast from miles around.  However, with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products, you CAN set your trash outside on the curb the night before because animals simply can not detect the presence of even the stinkiest garbage if it’s inside a sealed Repellem bag.  How nice not to have to rise at dawn to run after the garbage truck with your bags of trash!!

There are more uses than these for Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem & Eco-smartbag products; check this blog each month for updates!  In the meantime, check our archives for all kinds of ways these products can be used.
