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!

I’ve only got a few Repell-em trash bags left, so it’s off to the Repell-em Store for me, to order some more before I run completely out.  I don’t want to be left with nothing but a few old Hefty bags, left over from the days before I wised up and started using Repell-em products exclusively.

If I set a Hefty or Glad trash bag, full of garbage, out on my deck in the evening, it’s a sure thing that I’ll be greeted in the morning by my trash spread out all over the yard, because the possums and raccoons and dogs in the area will have smelled the garbage right through the Glad and Hefty plastic, and those white bags are visible, to animals, from far, far away.

No, for me and my family, it’s Repell-em trash bags, and always will be, from now on.  I didn’t really believe the claims at first, but after using them all these months, I sure believe it now!  I’ve tried it for myself, you see, and I discovered that every single Repell-em claim was absolute truth.

I can set my trash out on the deck at night, and the next morning that bag of trash will be pristine.  Animals can’t smell what’s in it, no matter WHAT might be in it, and the red color of Repell-em bags can’t be seen by animals, either.

Tonight, the Repell-em trash bags will be full of goodies, because I cleaned out my freezer and threw away all the food that was in the bottom and the back.  If I put that kind of load in a Hefty or Glad bag, the animals would come from miles around to play on my deck and feast on my expired frozen goodies.

But in a Repell-em bag, a raccoon could dance on top of it and not notice what it was.

Thank you, Repell-em.  Every single claim you make is true.  I know, because I tried them all for myself.

The trash does seem to accumulate, and in the past, we would add each additional full trash bag to the growing pile THAT WE HAD TO KEEP IN THE KITCHEN, because if we set anything out on the deck, the possums and raccoons would scatter it to the four winds.  It was genuinely icky.

Now, however, thanks to Repell-em trash bags, I can set each bag of trash out on the deck, discreetly in the corner, of course, and my kitchen is garbage-free.  I couldn’t do this with Hefty or Glad or any other major - or minor - brand of trash bags.  I tried, but it just didn’t work.  Animals can spot those thin white trash bags from miles away, and anything that’s in a Hefty or Glad bag can be smelled by an animal easily.

Repell-em trash bags are red, a shade that can’t be easily seen by animals, and the combination of 100% natural ingredients make whatever is inside the bag invisible, too.  In other words, animals can’t see Repell-em bags and animals can’t smell what’s in a Repell-em bag.

I can set our garbage out on the deck a few days before Trash Day and nothing will disturb it.

And it sure beats keeping full trash bags in the house.  Yuck, I hated that!  Now, I don’t have to.

Thank you, Repell-em.  You’ve cleaned up my act in so many ways!

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.
