Repell-em Blog

I just set my trash out on the deck - four bags of garbage, sitting out on the deck, way out in the country, right next to a rather large woods.

Ordinarily, the smell of the garbage would lure every possum, raccoon, skunk, deer, fox, and insect to my patio door and I would spend an hour or more the next morning picking up the remains.

But now I use Repell-em trash bags, and I don’t have to worry about animals or bugs at all any more.  My trash will be, in the morning, exactly as it is right now.

Repell-em trash bags are red, which animals can’t see well, and they are made of 100% natural ingredients, the combination of which repels almost all animals and insects completely.

I love you, Repell-em products.

We went on a picnic today.  Ordinarily my husband doesn’t care for picnics, because he can’t stand the bugs.  Now that we have Repell-em tablecloths, though, that concern is gone and we’ve actually gone on several really fun picnics this summer.

A Repell-em tablecloth not only keeps the flying bugs, like mosquitoes and gnats, away from you and from your food, it also keeps the ants and other crawling insects away.  A picnic without ants!  Can you imagine?

Well, if you have a Repell-em tablecloth on your picnic table, you don’t have to imagine.  You’ll see for yourself.

Don’t worry about the ingredients in the Repell-em tablecloth harming your skin or your food, either.  Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, all of which are absolutely harmless.

I’ve had guests these past few days and we have been able to sit outside in absolute comfort.  We were not annoyed by pesky flies, or stinging mosquitoes, or chiggers.  We came inside not because we were driven by hordes of bugs, but because we wanted to.

Thanks to Repell-em, it’s comfortable in our yard now.  And back in the garden, all the vegetables are healthy

I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it is to be able to enjoy the outdoors like we are this summer.    With Repell-em, the outdoors is almost as safe as the indoors!  No bugs and no animals to bother you,  and nothing but a breeze, some sunshine, a lawn chair, and some lemonade.

No bugs.  Not even a trace.  Thank you, Repell-em.

I hadn’t used my suitcase since last May.  When I brought it upstairs from its storage place in the garage, I had to kill a few spiders that had taken up residence in there before I could use it.

When I put it back on the garage shelf after returning home, I did some serious thinking.  You have to understand that I HATE BUGS!!  ALL BUGS.  Yes, I know spiders aren’t bugs, but they’re close enough.

Then I thought, DOH.  Repell-em!!!

So before I stored my suitcase away, last May, I put a Repell-em trash bag in it.

I’m going to San Francisco tomorrow, to the BlogHer conference.  I needed my suitcase again.  I wondered what I’d find when I opened it.

It was actually no surprise that not a single insect of any kind was in that suitcase.  In fact, the inside of my suitcase has never smelled so good!

Mmmm.  Some people put a sachet in their luggage.  From now on, I’m just going to put a Repell-em trash bag in mine.  The good smell lasts longer, and it repels bugs.  Whatta deal!

I read in a gardening magazine that putting a brightly-colored cloth on a pole and placing it in the middle and both ends of your garden will keep away the animals.  I’m going to try it this year, because last year, the deer ate almost everything!

However, my “scarecrows” won’t be made of cloth; I’m going to put Repell-em trash bags on poles and let them guard my tomatoes and green peppers.

Not only will the red Repell-em bag, flapping in the wind, keep all the animals away, it will also keep all the bugs away!

P.S.  I threw a Repell-em trash bag, full of corncobs and rib bones, in the back of our pickup truck three days ago, and nothing’s bothered it yet!

Don’t forget to enter the Repell-em Contest! The deadline has been extended through the middle of February, so you’ve still got plenty of time to enter.

I have three cats that live inside the house most of the time. They don’t know they’re cats; they think they’re people. Once in a while, a mouse will run across the carpet, but the cats just think someone came over to play with them. Sigh.

That’s why we started putting pieces of Repell-em trash bags here and there under the furniture, in a drawer, under the silverware tray, and in the pantry where I keep our food. A folded Repell-em bag keeps the cats off the sofas and chairs, too. Fantastic!

By the way, if you put pieces of Repell-em bags in YOUR pantry, you won’t ever get weevils again! It really works!

Back to the cats. I can’t put out any kind of poison for mice, because my cats would eat it, too. I needed something that repelled the cats from the furniture, pantry, etc, but would not harm them in any way if one of them had a taste. AND, whatever I put out had to repell the mice and bugs completely.  Repell-em bags are perfect because they contain only safe, natural ingredients.

Found it!

Repell-em products do the trick and they do it perfectly. Even if a cat ATE a piece of a Repell-em bag, it would not harm her. But since Repell-em bags repel animals, I don’t even have to worry about one of the cats touching the Repell-em bag or anything near the bag.

It’s wonderful!

When you live out in the country, you come to expect a “visitor” or two, but with Repell-em bags, you only get the visitors you want. It’s true.

Oh, and by the way. . . “Weevily Wheat” is an old folk song. Really, it is. Look it up.

Or I could do that for you.
