Repell-em Blog

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!

School has already started for many children, and will start after Labor Day for a few more.  New clothes, new pencils, new lunchboxes, and new shoes are being unwrapped in many households right now.

When you put your child’s new shoes in his/her closet, remember to put a new Repell-em trash bag or tablecloth in the back or bottom of the closet, too.  Brown recluse spiders love to nest in the bottoms of closets, and particularly inside shoes.   If a child, or you, puts a foot inside a shoe and disturbs a brown recluse, it will bite, and the bite of a brown recluse spider is horrible, and can take YEARS to heal.

Simply avoid this possibility by using Repell-em products as preventative medicine in your closets.  Repell-em products smell so good to humans; they smell like expensive candles or sachets, in fact.  Having that Repell-em bag or tablecloth in your closet will not only keep the spiders away; it will also protect your expensive clothing from moths and other insects.

Put some Repell-em in your closet.  You’ll be glad you did.

I’ve posted before about how a baby’s nursery is safer with Repell-em products to keep away the insects that feed on waste, etc.  But what many people don’t realize is that the entire house is safer for your children when you use Repell-em products!

It’s not just the kitchen that benefits from Repell-em, either - it’s the whole house!  Repell-em trash bags in every wastebasket, little strips of Repell-em around the crib legs and rocking chair legs, a few pieces of shredded Repell-em down in the vents so that when the heater or air conditioner come on, the Repell-em “essence” is blown through the air, and many other ways, are all beneficial to the health and well-being of your children and everyone else who lives in the house.

Even if your infant or toddler puts the Repell-em bag in his/her mouth, it won’t harm the baby.  Remember, Repell-em products are made of 100% natural ingredients, and while the smell and taste are repugnant to insects and animals, to a person, the bags smell good and don’t taste all that bad, either.  But if you find your baby chewing on a Repell-em bag, don’t panic because the ingredients in the bags will not hurt the baby in any way.  Be careful of choking, but don’t worry about poison.

A household that uses Repell-em products is a household that is more child-friendly, more child-safe, and much more relaxed than a household that does not use Repell-em.  Without Repell-em, homeowners are forced to use dangerous chemical substances to repel insects, while those who use Repell-em are using a completely harmless product that also smells good.
