Repell-em Blog

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!

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!

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!

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.

This time of year, the gnats are really swarming, especially in the kitchen where any food might be sitting out on the counter or tabletop.  I like to keep a bowl of fresh fruit on my kitchen table, and the gnats were definitely NOT adding to the beauty of that picture.

My kitchen table is too small for a Repell-em tablecloth (I have one on my dining table, though!) So, I made some small “place mats” out of Repell-em, and placed the fruit bowl on top of one of them.  Red is one of my kitchen’s colors, and the clear glass bowl, full of apples, looks really nice with that little red mat underneath.

Best of all?  Repell-em lives up to its name and reputation and there are NO MORE GNATS on the fruit in my fruitbowl.  In fact, my kitchen has no gnats at all, now.

Thank you, Repell-em.

Last spring, I packed all of our fall and winter coats and jackets away in large Repell-em trash bags.  I just slipped a big Repell-em bag over the hanger and tied it in a knot at the bottom.

Last night, I unpacked a light autumn jacket for my husband, and instead of being greeted by the usual faintly musty odor of packed-away wool, I was instead greeted by the aroma of lemons and peppermint, because even after several months of hanging in the closet, that Repell-em bag had retained its pleasant fragrance which meant, of course, that it had also retained its potency in keep away all manner of insects.

Speaking of which, there was no trace of moths anywhere to be found on that jacket.  I am confident that next month when I unpack the heavy winter coats, they will smell good and will be completely untouched by moths, too.

Repell-em products have so many uses!  With Repell-em, a trash bag is much more than just a trash bag, and a tablecloth has many more uses than just being spread on a tabletop.

I don’t know how I managed without Repell-em.  Seriously, I don’t.

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.

The safety of our children is one of the most important things in our lives.  We would move mountains if that’s what it took to keep our children safe.

Repell-em products want to help you keep your children safe, too.  That’s why they are made with 100% natural ingredients, and are completely harmless to all living things.  Peppermint, citronella, rosemary, cloves, lemons, geraniums, apples. . . these yummy or good-smelling things are all Repell-em ingredients.  Amazingly, the combination creates an aroma that insects and animals simply can not bear!  Even more amazing?  Repell-em products smell so good, your guests will think you’ve got an expensive candle in the house!

Repell-em tablecloths guarantee that no insect will come near your child at the table or near it.  Repell-em trashbags guarantee that no insect or animal will come near your child at a picnic site or the back yard.  Little strips of Repell-em around your child’s wrist and ankle ensure that no chiggers or mosquitoes or ticks will annoy or hurt your child.

Because Repell-em products are completely harmless - they won’t even hurt the bugs; they just repel them! - you don’t have to worry about insect repellent poisons, etc.  Repell-em products contain no poison, not in any way, shape, or form.  Just those harmless, natural ingredients that are perfectly safe, and that help you keep your child safe, too.

Every since I first discovered the magic of Repell-em products, I have worn a strip of Repell-em tied around my wrist and ankle whenever I cut the grass or did any kind of yard work at all.  It worked, too; with that little piece of Repell-em on me, insects could not see or smell me and I could work - or play - outside with no worry of being buzzed, annoyed, or stung.

Today, I was in a hurry and didn’t tie any Repell-em around my wrist and ankle before I scurried out to mow.

Guess what?  Because of my stupidity forgetfulness, I’m now covered in chigger bites.

I will never forget my Repell-em ties, ever again.  They are such a small thing to do such a huge and perfect job.

I said “perfect” and I MEANT “perfect.”  Repell-em has never let me down.

Now, I hope we have some calamine lotion.  I’m in misery.

Next time, I’ll be SURE to remember to tie on some Repell-em before setting foot outside.
