Repell-em Blog

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.

Happy Holidays from everyone here at EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem!

Remember, with a Repellem tablecloth or trash bag under your tree skirt, or with a red Repellem-wrapped box mingling with your other gifts, your pets will not bother your Christmas tree, nor will insects attack your real evergreen tree.  Repellem strives to make your home clean and green, and to keep your family safe from insects and vermin.

We here at EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem hope that everyone drives carefully, arrives safely, and has a safe and wonderful holiday!  We thank you for your business, and hope to see more of you!

With a real evergreen tree, there will be real insects; it’s just a fact.  Bring that real tree into your house, and the insects will come with it.

One of the best ways to get those bugs off your tree is to use Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!  Get a Repellem trash bag or tablecloth and cut it into ribbon lengths.  At intervals, all over the tree, tie a festive red Christmas bow and let the streamers hang down.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone!  Your Christmas tree will be a work of art, and you won’t EVER have to worry about insects crawling or flying out of the tree onto a child, or into someone’s food.

The Repellem ribbons will also guarantee that your other pets will not bother your Christmas tree.  Got a cat?  A dog?  You won’t have to worry about leaving your pets alone with your decorated Christmas tree if your tree has been decorated with Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem!

With a piece of Repellem under the tree skirt and Repellem ribbons festooning the tree itself, your home will be all set for a clean, safe, green, insect-free holiday season!  The Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem effects will last all through the season; you won’t need to change the ribbons or underskirt at all!

I post a picture of my Christmas tree here, every year.  That’s because it’s an EcosmartPlastics Repellem tree!

This is my Christmas tree, in my living room.  It’s covered with all kinds of ornaments, swinging to and fro, playing music, and offering temptation to my two cats like you would not BELIEVE.

This is our third Christmas with the cats. Last year was the first year we DIDN’T have problems with cats and a Christmas tree - two years ago, we had so much trouble with the cats climbing on the tree, batting things off the tree, and generally making the tree their own, that we almost gave up and took it down.

Last year, however, was the first year I put a Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt.  You can’t really see it this year, except for a little bit in the front, but underneath that tree skirt is a full-size EcoSmartPlastics Repellem tablecloth.

Two years ago, the cats went berserk over the tree and almost took it down.  Last year, we put a Repellem tablecloth under the skirt and when the tree was up and the cats came back inside,  they took one look and made a mad run for the tree.

When they got close to it, they stopped short, sniffed, turned around, and walked calmly away. They never went near the Christmas tree all the rest of the season.

This year, it’s as if there were no tree at all in the living room.  The cats pay it no heed whatsoever.

I know why, too.

It’s the Repellem under the skirt.  It will keep your cats, and your dogs, and all insects away from your Christmas tree.  Just replace the Repellem approximately every three weeks.  You’ll be able to go to work knowing your tree will still be standing when you get home.

I highly recommend this little trick for YOUR Christmas tree.  As I said above, your cats won’t bother it, and neither will your dogs.  If you have a real tree, you won’t get any bugs on or in it, either.  If you are Chevy Chase, you won’t have to worry about squirrels.

There are all kinds of holiday uses for Repellem products.  Just be careful not to let any kind of candle or flame get near Repellem.  Plastic melts, you know.

I’m so happy with Repellem under my Christmas tree!  And when Mama’s happy, everybody’s happy.

Holiday time is fast approaching, and it’s time to start making lists and checking them twice.  Santa Claus isn’t the only one who gives gifts, you know.

This year, why not give your friends and family an EcosmartPlastics Repellem product?  It’s not really an odd gift, you know.  It’s something they’ll use, and fall in love with, and wonder how they ever got along with out them!

Besides, they’re red, like Christmas.

Personally, I would love it if someone gave me the gift of EcosmartPlastics Repellem; I use the trash bags regularly, and I use the tablecloths in the warm weather when we eat outdoors.  I also use EcosmartPlastics Repellem products in my garden, which is, believe it or not, still going strong.  In Indiana, we’re having another summer in November; it’s been in the seventies!  Without EcosmartPlastics Repellem in my garden, the bugs and little wild animals would have been feasting in there; WITH Repellem wrapped around all the tomato cages, I’ve had no problem whatsoever with bugs or animals all summer long, and summer HAS been long here this year!

You can find EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Ecosmart Bags many places now; the products are really becoming popular now that more people know what they can do!  Order some for yourself, and while you’re doing that, order some to give for holiday gifts this year!

The weather is still good enough on Columbus Day, in many areas, for a picnic, and when there is a picnic, there is a great need for some way to keep the insects at bay!  The best, easiest, greenest, and safest way to do this is to simply have a few EcoSmart Repellem products here and there.

With an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on the picnic table, there will be no flies, gnats, or mosquitoes.  Put an EcoSmart Repellem trash bag in the garbage can, and you won’t have to worry about the garbage in there attracting wasps, bees, hornets, or flies, either.  It’s awesome; you don’t have to use dangerous and smelly sprays, rub chemicals on skin, or wear a clunky bracelet around.  Just throw a tablecloth on the table, a trash bag in the trash can, and everybody is free to relax and enjoy each other’s company, and the food.

In peace.  Without having to slap at or wave away bugs.

With a few EcoSmart Repellem products around your picnic site, you won’t have to worry about animals approaching where your small children are playing, either.

Plus, EcoSmart Repellem products are absolutely safe around kids and food; there are NO harmful ingredients in Repellem - they’re made of 100% natural, completely recyclable ingredients.  Your food can touch a Repellem product and still be safe to eat.  Go ahead and lean on the tablecloth; Repellem won’t harm skin, either.

It’s autumn, and that’s spider time!  Those creepy and sometimes dangerous little - or big! - spiders are invading our homes and setting up camp in our shoes!

Be careful, in fact, when you get out your cold-weather shoes, for brown recluse spiders love to live in the toes of our boots.  A bite from a brown recluse is nothing to take lightly, either; they can even be fatal!

How do we get rid of spiders without spraying harmful chemicals?  Easy!  Just cut a few Ecosmart Repellem trash bags or tablecloths up, and arrange the pieces in, among, and around your shoes in your closet. Throw a piece of Repellem over your closet bar, too.  In fact, put your summer clothes in a Repellem bag before storing them away, and you’ll be really glad next spring when you get them out again.

The point is, EcoSmart Repellem products live up to their name:  They REPEL almost all bugs and things that look like bugs, and this means your home will be cleaner and safer for you and for your children.  Remember, if your child or infant is bitten by a spider, the results can be much worse than if an adult is bitten.  Use Ecosmart Repellem products around your house, and NOBODY will be bitten because all the bugs will be driven away.  When you think of Repellem, think “Pied Piper of Hamelin,” for Repellem is just as good at getting rid of unwanted “livestock” as the legendary Piper was!

Repellem is easy to purchase, too.  Order from our website, or find them at many stores as well.  CVS now carries Repellem products, as do Cabela’s, Vitamin Shoppe, and many others.

Especially if there are small children living in your home, Ecosmart Repellem is a wonderful way to keep your house clean, safe, and green.  Repellem products are absolutely harmless to humans, even tiny humans, and not only that; they’re also 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% natural products.

Best of all:  no bugs in your house!  They’ll keep the mice away, too!

Labor Day is Picnic Day for many people, and if the weather is good, just about the only thing that can ruin a picnic are the insects!  Flies, mosquitoes, gnats. . . these pesky pests can pretty much destroy any kind of outdoor activity, particularly if they smell FOOD.

Fortunately, it’s easy to thwart insects and have a wonderful, bug-free outdoor party.  Just don’t forget the EcoSmart Repellem!

Line the trash receptacles with Repellem trash bags.  There will be no insects near your garbage.

Cover your picnic tables with EcoSmart Repellem tableclothes.  There will be no bugs on or near your table, which means your food is safe, too!

Cut a Repellem trash bag into strips, and tie one around one leg of each lawn chair.  Anyone sitting in that chair will not be bothered by insects.

Tie a strip of Repellem around everybody’s ankle.  No matter where they might wander, they will not be annoyed by chiggers, mosquitoes, or any kind of insect.  Item:  honeybees don’t seem to be affected, which is actually a good thing.  Just try not to step on them!

EcoSmart Repellem products will turn any outdoor experience into an enjoyable, insect-free experience.

And just think how much safer your children will be, without the worry and danger of insect stings and bites! Harmless Repellem products are 100% recyclable and made of 100% natural ingredients.  They will not harm food, or any living thing; they just REPEL insects and animals.

Repellem doesn’t smell like chemicals, either.  That’s because they’re not made of chemicals!
