Repell-em Blog

At least once a week I like to scan the web for news stories concerning people and places across the country that are having problems with insects, animals, trash collection, and other related issues. The way I see it the World needs Repell-em Garbage bags and what better way to prove it than by discussing the news stories we are all reading about everyday as we catch up on the morning news.

This week I came across two very interesting pieces where Repell-em is in desperate need to help control situations that have gotten out of hand. The first is a report from WDEF in Chattanooga, Tn on March 19 concerning a growing problem with coyotes. Here is a brief segment:

“Over the past week, we’ve been telling you about Red Bank residents complaining about coyotes. The growing problem has the gotten the attention of city officials. And one family is now depending on an expert for advice. Wildlife Removal Specialist XXXX. XXXX says, “When we can’t get involved as a city we want to give them the foundations to get the equipment and means to solve their problem.” But with animals like coyotes, XXXX says he’s job isn’t solving the problem.

He compares coyote removal to that of insect control - it’s just that - control. XXXXX says, “You can do some sort of trapping method, maybe quarterly and keep it under control but you’re never going to eliminate the coyotes.” Instead, XXXX gives tips to families who have problems or see signs of coyotes in and around their home. Like any animal, coyotes are attracted to a food source.

He says start there. XXXX says, “Keep all your trash put away nice and tight…don’t leave any raw meats outside..that’s going to lure them in.”

But the best method XXXXX says might cost at little more -”if they had a fence about this high off the ground and every six inches…they’re not going to be able to get through b/c they’re going to get shocked.” And just like raccoons XXXX says coyotes are pretty brazen animals. He says while mainly nocturnal..seeing them in the daytime is not unheard of.””

So what are the residents on Red Bank supposed to do about coyotes invading their homes? Keep a tighter grip on your trash or build an electric fence? How many people want an electric fence around their house? I know I don’t.

Here’s another story I came across in today’s news from Fort Leavinworth Online March 13^th dealing with a similar subject:

“As the weather warms and creatures awake from winter sleep, Frontier Heritage Communities is gearing up for calls to remove wild animals from residential areas.
FHC pest contractor Hal Myers warns that March and April will bring out skunks and raccoons that were inactive during the cold weeks of February. While these animals don’t actually hibernate, they do burrow into dens and sleep hard when temperatures are below freezing.” Around March, the skunks begin their mating season,” Myers said. “And there are lots of skunks on Fort Leavenworth.”

Skunks, raccoons and opossums are very clever animals when seeking food. They are omnivorous, eating plants and small animals like frogs and insects. Garbage, pet dishes and vegetable gardens provide fast food for wild mammals, enticing them to approach homes. “They’re hungry,” Myers said, “and right now they’ll eat almost anything.” FHC recommends the following to keep them at bay: Do not feed wild animals, including birds and squirrels. Although many people enjoy watching birds flock around a backyard feeder, seeds that fall to the ground attract squirrels and other small mammals. Do not leave pet food or dishes outdoors. Close ground-floor windows at night. Raccoons are known to tear open screens to get to pet food inside. Do not place garbage outside until the morning of a scheduled trash pickup. (Residents are permitted to place garbage on the curb the night before pickup, but it can attract wild animals.). Use a repellent to discourage squirrels.””

Again according to this specialist your main weapon against squirrels, raccoons, and skunks is when you take out your trash and feed your pets inside.

It’s clear that neither the officials in Chattanooga Tn, or Fort Leavenworth, Ks. Have heard about Repell-em bags. Otherwise the stories might sound vastly different than what they do now and the whole “lock your trash up tight and don’t through away meat” business would have gone out the window.

What the residents in both of these cities need to know is that there now exists a product that not only will solve their animal problems, but will repel these animals at a cost far less from that of an electric fence and while nothing to do with what time you take out the trash. NEVER FEAR REPELL-EM BAGS ARE HERE!!!

Made from all natural products, Repell-em bags are 100% designed to make your garbage undesirable by not only coyotes, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, bears, cats, dogs, but also ants, roaches, mice, wasps, bees, mosquitoes…you name the invader and Repell-em will push them back. Even the color of the bags was designed with repelling in mind. It’s a scientific fact that animals and insects have a shorter color spectrum than people and hence have a hard time seeing the color red. Red just doesn’t show up on their radar…and if by chance they do come across the bags than the chemical-free repellent lets them know your trash in no place to find food and set up camp.

Don’t wait for your city to handle your pest problem, order your set up Repell-em today and do the job for them!!!!

Buy Repell-em Garbage Bags and keep the animals away!
