Repell-em Blog

Look closely at my tomato garden and you will see that each tomato cage has been wound with a strip of Repell-em, and between the scent, the ends waving in the breeze, and the large Repell-em piece acting as a scarecrow there on the end, I really believe we’re going to get some tomatoes for ourselves this year.

I don’t have to worry about “insect repellent” touching my food and contaminating it in any way, because Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely harmless.

The cats were used to playing in that railroad flat all winter, and it’s really funny to watch them go running toward it and then stop short, look around with a bewildered expression, and then turn and walk away.  The deer have been using that garden patch as a salad bar all winter, but now that there is actual food in it, they behave as though they can’t even see or smell it.  That’s because they can’t.  The EcoSmartPlastics Repellem strips have rendered my tomatoes unplottable!

Here’s a closer shot of a few tomato cages, so you can see in greater detail what I’ve done with the strips of Repell-em. It’s nothing fancy, obviously, but so far it’s working like a charm!

There are so many uses for your Repell-em products. So far, every experiment I’ve done with them has been successful!

All the climate scientists are reminding us that this summer’s batch of insects is the worst in a long, long time, but EcoSmartPlastics Repellem can ensure that your cookouts and picnics are bug-free, too.  And if you go for a pleasant summer walk, make it even more pleasant by tying a strip of Repellem around your ankle and wrist.  You’ll stroll absolutely unmolested by mosquitoes, gnats, chiggers, and any other summer blood-sucking pest.

EcoSmart Repellem products are almost like magic; they work so well, and are completely harmless.  Amazing!

I gave my neighbor a box of Repellem tall kitchen trash bags, and she’s now madly in love with the product.  I told her how the Repellem tablecloth under my tree kept the cats away from it, and she did me one better:  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.  She has two small children, and wanted some kind of repellant product that was 100% safe to use around kids.  Repellem certainly fits that description!

Repellem isn’t noticeable at ALL. That bright red box now blends right in with her other gifts.

Repellem has a hundred million different uses, and each one works like a charm,  and each one looks fine, and each one is sturdy and strong. What more could anyone ask of a piece of plastic?

Remember, too, that if you have a real evergreen tree, Repellem will also keep the insects away from it and out of it.

When I saw the cats cautiously approaching my Christmas tree, sniffing, sniffing some more, and then stepping onto the tree skirt, I knew it was time to put a fresh Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt.  It looks like three weeks is the approximate life span of a Repellem tablecloth being used under a Christmas tree!

In a cartoon or movie, two cats leaping onto a loaded Christmas tree, knocking it down and sending ornaments every which way, would be funny.  In real life?  Not so much.  Until I discovered Repellem, however, there was NOTHING that seemed to deter the cats from that tree.

Once I put a Repellem tablecloth under the tree skirt, though, the tree, with all its moving parts and batting possibilities, didn’t even seem to exist for the cats.  It was perfect.

Thank you, Repellem.  My Christmas tree is STILL upright and  beautiful, and it’s all because of YOU.

Ordinarily, whenever a lot of food is spread out buffet-style, no matter how clean your home might be, there are going to be a few flies buzzing around that food.

However, if you put a Repellem tablecloth under your pretty holiday tablecloth, there will be no flies.  Your pets won’t bother the table, either; Repellem products live up to their name and REPEL all insects and animals! 

When there are pets in the house, it isn’t often that you can spread a buffet of good food on your countertop or table and be able to turn your back on it with a cat or dog around.  With Repellem products, though, you CAN.

I have two lively, pouncing cats, and they love nothing better than to spring up on top of the counters and tables.  This Thanksgiving weekend, with a feast of good things all over the table and counters, the cats didn’t even seem to notice.

There are so many uses for Repellem products!  With EcoSmart’s Repellem, we have the answer to the question:  When is a trash bag or tablecloth not just a trash bag or tablecloth?

Answer:  When it’s a REPELLEM trash bag or tablecloth.

I have three cats, and I’m not exactly Martha Stewart.  I keep a giant bag of dry cat food in my kitchen, leaning against the wall in a corner.

I used to have a lot of problems with ants in that bag.  Now, however, I have no ants, and I can tell you exactly why.

There are no ants in the giant bag of cat food in my kitchen because there is a little piece of wadded-up Repell-em bag in the giant bag of cat food.

Remember, Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients - completely and absolutely harmless to all living things - and contact with any kind of food, human or animal, will not contaminate the food or harm anyone in any way.

Bugs are creepy in any season, and in summer bugs are even more noticeable, but with Repell-em products, you can even keep the bugs out of your pets’ food supply.

With the wadded-up Repell-em scrap in that sack, the cats themselves won’t tear the bag open as they used to do.

Don’t worry about your cat’s not wanting to get near the food to eat it after it’s removed from the bag, either.  A few minutes in the bowl, and your cat will devour its dinner like there’s no tomorrow.

No ants in the pet food.  Awesome.

I have three cats, and they love to climb on the furniture and play with dangling cords and anything that looks as though it might be tasty. Lately, the cats have been all over our computer equipment, and this just can’t be allowed.

How do you tell a cat “no” without whacking her over the nose with a rolled-up newspaper? We’re not a whacking household, but coming home from work every day to find cords unplugged and gnawed, and everything batted off the tops of all the surfaces was getting really old really fast. Computers are fragile and computers are expensive, and computers are just simply not a proper place for self-respecting cats to hang out.

I got home from the college really late tonight: far too late to begin my second outdoor experiment with Repell-em bags, but when I walked into the computer room and saw one of the cats happily pulling cords out of their sockets with a hungry look on her face, I decided to try something else.

See the red Repellem trash bag? It’s really barely noticeable against the red wall, and it’s making the whole room smell good.

Better still, the cats won’t even enter the room now! The magical Repell-em aura is protecting the entire computer room!

Repell-em doesn’t really use magic, of course. Repell-em uses all-natural ingredients, completely harmless to living things. Repell-em doesn’t kill, it just REPELS!

I love my cats, but I don’t love what they do to my computer equipment. Now, they won’t even come into the room.

Yay! Repell-em! My electronics are safe again!

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.
