Not only will EcoSmart Plastics Repellem trash bags and other products prevent animals from sensing and therefore tearing up and making a mess of your garbage, your Repellem bags will also keep the bugs away.

We had a cookout on the 4th, and everyone commented about the complete and total lack of insects buzzing around us out on the deck. Well, it was because of the trash bags that accumulated as the cookout progressed. With EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products, you won’t ever have to use dangerous insect repellents that contain poisons; your Repellem tablecloth and the bags of cookout trash will take care of the bug problem.

There are so many reasons why I use EcoSmart Repellem products in my home, but one of them is that I can use them safely around my children, and around food, as Repellem products contain only natural ingredients that are 100% harmless to both. And while the cats and dog stay away when Repellem products are in use, the products won’t harm my pets, either.

Everybody is outdoors a lot in summer, and it’s so nice to be able to BE outdoors and not have to worry about batting away the insects all the time.

More and more families are “going green” these days, and actively seeking products that support this lifestyle.  I highly recommend Repell-em products for “green” families, because, unlike so many other products that CLAIM to be ‘green,” Repell-em products really are!  It’s ECO-SMART to use Repell-em!

They’re red, but they’re GREEN!  (Repell-em bags can be any color or pattern you wish, in fact.)

Terry Feinberg, Repell-em’s president, tells us all the absolute truth about Repell-em’s “green-ness” when he says that “. . .Above all else, I thought it was important that REPELL-EM products be environmentally friendly.

To achieve this, I combined 100% natural, organic ingredients that were found to repel many insects and animals, and biodegrade the plastic 100% in a short time. There are many companies that claim their products are bio-degradable, but in reality, their products are merely degrading into smaller pieces of plastic.

Repell-em products, once placed in a typical landfill or thrown in your backyard compost bin, will biodegrade 100% into soil in 1 to 7 years depending on environmental conditions. All the other “so called” biodegradable products produced using corn-based resin, starch additives, and oxo-based additives, all take 30-50 years or more to fully biodegrade or remain for many more years! They function poorly when exposed to heat, light, or moisture, and really do not stand up. No products in the world are made like Repell-em, and none work like them either!”

I’ve told you all before that I use Repell-em products in my home, but I don’t mind telling you again.  Ever since I first discovered Repell-em, I have used no other trash bag, because a Repell-em home is a cleaner, safer home.
