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.

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!

From reader/commenter Ellen comes these fantastic hints for using your Repell-em bags:

Ellen tell us that a fellow camper gave them some Repell-em bags (she calls them “magnificent garbage bags!”) and she put one in their campsite’s outside area, and the other she opened up and put under the non-skid mat outside the door, down the three steps and onto the ground. Ellen reminded us that having that mat on the ground is often just asking for trouble, but she got tired of sweeping and mopping up the linoleum in her new travel trailer.

According to Ellen, she had tried every anti-insect remedy known to mankind, but nothing worked until she tried the Repell-em bags.

She informed us that the ants and “other creepy-crawlies” would not cross the Repell-em line, and the inside of her new camper was bug-free.

Ellen went on to suggest that a piece of Repell-em bag tucked into a pocket or tucked into shoelaces might make evening walks more comfortable and could be reused as ties around the water and sewage hoses as a little extra “security.”
