Repell-em Blog

. . . 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.

The prediction for the summer of 2010 is formidable:  more pollen than most people can remember, more humidity than we’ve seen in years, and more bugs.  A lot more bugs.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem can’t do anything about the pollen or the humidity, but if you use these fantastic products, you certainly won’t have to worry about or deal with the bugs!

Already, in the evenings, there’s a haze of those disgusting little biting midges, but on my deck, there are none.  My deck is like an island of purity on these spring nights, which are, in southern Indiana, already muggy and buzzy.  The neighborhood cats are starting to hang out on our big deck swing, so they don’t have to nap amidst the bugs!

How did I do this?  What complicated procedure did I use to make my deck so pleasant and insect-free?  Oh, it was difficult, all right.  I tied two Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags around the sidebars of the swing.

That’s all.  No poisons, no sprays, no traps.  Just two red Repellem trash bags tied around the swing.  I’ll change them every two weeks or so, all summer long.  With Ecosmartplastics Repellem, I don’t have to worry about the cats chewing on them - animals don’t like to get too near a Repellem products - or toddlers chewing on them - Repellem products are 100% natural, recyclable, and GREEN, even though they’re red. 

Harmless to all living things, Repellem simply repels.  It doesn’t kill.

My deck will be bug-free all summer.  Yours can be, too.  Order your Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags here.

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.

Many of us have resolved to have a cleaner and greener 2010, and one way to begin is to use EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!

So many household products these days are made of chemicals created in test tubes in laboratories, and we have to be careful to guard our children and our pets from contact with them.  Not so with EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!!!

EcoSmarPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products are made of 100% natural ingredients, each ingredient absolutely harmless to all living things.  (Repellem REPELS, it doesn’t kill!)  Your small children are completely safe in a home that uses EcoSmartPlastics Repellem products.  Not only will your home be free of insects; you will not have to worry about babies or toddlers being harmed by contact with dangerous products!  The ingredients in EcoSmart and Repellem are SAFE!!!!

You won’t have to worry about your pets getting into the garbage, either.  With Repellem trash bags, your dogs and cats won’t even know you’ve GOT garbage!  And when you set your full trash bags outdoors, possums and raccoons won’t be able to sense them, either.

Let’s all begin 2010 with a cleaner, greener, SAFER home!

This is the first day of the New Year, which means many of us had or went to a party tonight.  It also means many of us are taking down a Christmas tree today.

After the parties:  Dump all the garbage and trash in a big Repellem trash bag and toss it outside until later.  You don’t have to worry about animals getting into it and scattering it; Ecosmartplastics Repellem products live up to their name: they really do REPEL animals and insects.For the Christmas tree:  If you did like many people and used an extra-large Repellem bag under your tree skirt, disposing of your tree will be a cinch!  Just take off all the ornaments and trim, pull off the skirt, and draw the Repellem bag up around the tree, keeping the needles INSIDE the bag.  No mess, no fuss, and the Repellem bag is strong enough to deal with a tree inside it!  Pick up your tree, arms around the Repellem bag, and toss it outside.  Messy job, finished in minutes with NO mess!

Sleep in this morning, and don’t worry about your garbage bags sitting outside: if you used Ecosmartplastics Repellem bags, nothing will touch them.  And aren’t you glad it was so easy to get your tree out of the living room, with no mess?

EcoSmart’s Repellem products have so many uses; it boggles the mind!

Why not make using only eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable, 100% natural Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-smartbag products one of your resolutions for 2010!

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!

These two Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags are full of turkey carcasses. Both bags have back on my deck since Thursday night.

It is now Sunday, late afternoon, and as you can see, neither bag has been so much as touched by the millions of raccoons and possums and neighbor dogs that frequent my deck. In the past, we couldn’t set a bag of garbage out there for five minutes before its contents were scattered across the yard by wild animals dumpster-diving for the good, smelly stuff that was in there.

Here in southern Indiana, the weather has been in the fifties and sixties these past few days, and I’m pretty sure that the remainders of those two big turkeys didn’t smell all that good to humans after a few hours out there. However, animal and insect “noses” are different, and the usual onslaught of animal and insect hordes just did not appear.

That black cat? She’s been featured on this blog before, totally ignoring the contents of Ecosmartplastics Repellem garbage bags, and even napping on top of them without giving them so much as a swat.

Two trash bags full of Thanksgiving garbage, including the remains of two 19-pound turkeys. No animal even seemed to realize such a treat was sitting out there in full reach. Animals did not see the bags - the unique red color saw to that. Animals did not smell the bags - the unique 100% natural ingredients that make up the bags saw to that. No animals even seem to realize the bags were there, well within plain sight and easy dragging.

That’s because Ecosmart Repellem trash bags can not be seen or smelled by animals; therefore, animals leave them alone. Ecosmartplastics Repellem products are good for anything indoors or out - you’ll have no problems with insects or animals, including mice, moths, ants, spiders (I know spiders aren’t insects, but they react to Repellem like insects!) roaches, gnats, or pretty much anything that would hang, uninvited, in or out of your home.

Just look at those two red Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bags. Since Thursday night, they’ve been sitting there. NOTHING has bothered them in the least. Nothing has even tried.  Millie, the black cat, isn’t even interested.

Proof positive! Ecosmartplastics Repellem products rock!

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.
