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.

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.

We read about bedbugs in novels about pioneers. We read about bedbugs being found in unkempt hotel beds. We read about bedbugs in OTHER people’s homes but never ours.

The fact is, however, that bedbugs are back, and they’ve brought reinforcements the likes and numbers of which have never been seen before. Bedbugs are being found in schools, offices, hospitals, daycare, inns, hotels, motels . . . some of the cleanest-looking places in the world are finding bedbugs!

We usually associate bedbugs with, well, beds, but they have other places they love to hide, too. Your clothes and shoes, for example. Your coat closet. Your boots. Your mittens. Your towels, and linen closets. Your drains and electrical outlets. Your baseboards. Blankets. Pillows. Matresses.

Most charitable places no longer accept anything that’s upholstered any more, because bedbugs love your chairs, and sofas. They love your carpets.

They love your car, and your baby’s carseat.

They love your kitchen cabinets. They dance in your dishes when you’re not looking. They scamper among your silverware when the drawer is closed.

My community has been notified of several infestations, but in my house, we haven’t noticed any bedbugs, at least not yet. I have no scientific conclusion to draw, but I do know this: There are EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem bags in all of my closets and cabinets. There are Repellem bags between my mattress and box springs. Repellem bags hang in all of my closets, and there are wadded strips of Repellem bags in all of my drawers.

When I packed away my Christmas decorations and trees, everything was placed in a large Repellem trash bag and securely tied. The sweet, pleasant fragrance of Repellem permeates my house today; it smells better than many expensive candles.

I credit EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products for my home’s total lack of bedbugs. Oh, and there are no roaches, ants, weevils, or moths here, either. No mice. And when I set the trash out on the deck, it’s completely unmolested.

There is no way I would EVER use another kind of trash bag in my home again. EcoSmartPlastics and Repellem products have won my loyalty, 100%, and everylasting.

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.

Make your home greener, cleaner, and safer with EcosmartPlastics, Repellem, and SmartBags products.  Our products will make your home a better environment in which to live and to raise your children.

. . . 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.

It’s spring, and the weather has been just simply beautiful in southern Indiana these past few days!  We got out the lawn chairs, hosed them off, and set them out on the deck to dry.  We had no sooner turned our backs to go back inside than we heard a buzzing sound.  Turning around, we saw that the bees had discovered our water-soaked chairs.

We have kids and pets, so we don’t use dangerous chemicals or sprays.  However, since we discovered Ecosmartplastics Repellem, we don’t need to.

Tim went outside and tied a strip of Ecosmartplastics Repellem trash bag to the back legs of each lawn chair.

Within minutes, the bees were gone.  Oh, they were still alive, and busy fertilizing flowers and fruit trees and going about their beesiness, but they were no longer on our deck keeping us from sitting in our own chairs.

Ecosmartplastics Repellem & Eco-Smartbag products are the most effective and earth-friendly products you can use, for they keep all insects and small animals away, but their 100% natural ingredients and 100% recyclability make them environmentally safe.

Don’t worry about a small child or pet chewing on the Repellem strips, either; they’re completely harmless.

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!!
