Repell-em Blog

No matter how clean you might keep your home, if there are bugs in it, it just doesn’t SEEM clean.   Spraying the bugs with dangerous poisons is risky, especially with children and pets in the home, and besides, most bug sprays help pollute the atmosphere.

With Repell-em products in your house, your home will be truly clean and green.  Repell-em products are completely and 100% harmless, and they are made of all-natural ingredients that will not hurt any living thing nor will they put any pollutants into the air.

How wonderful to have a home that is clean and green!  Bugs might be living things, but most of us would prefer NOT to share our homes with them!  When you use Repell-em products, all of the insects will leave your home and move in with someone else: someone who isn’t as concerned with cleanliness in the home or on the planet.

Repell-em products are safe and effective.  They won’t hurt even an infant, and they WORK.  I use them myself.  I can tell you sincerely, Repell-em products WORK.

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.  

I love to bake homemade bread and pies, so I buy flour in twenty-pound bags.  Few things annoy me more than opening that huge bag of flour and discovering. . . weevils.

But this season, even though weevils flourish in southern Indiana autumns, I haven’t noticed a single weevil in my flour, nor in my cornmeal, or cereals, or oatmeal, or anything else “powdery” and purchased in bulk.  That’s because my large bag of flour has a little piece of wadded-up Repell-em in it, and so do all of my other bags and boxes of things weevils love.

I don’t have to worry about Repell-em products harming my family or contaminating our food, because Repell-em is made of 100% natural ingredients that are completely and totally harmless to people, even to tiny babies!  And even though Repell-em products smell really good, their smell doesn’t “bleed into” any foods you are using the Repell-em in.

So if you are a baker like me, or even if you’re not, try putting just a little piece of wadded-up Repell-em inside LARGE bags of flour, etc.  The weevils won’t bother your cereals and smaller bags or boxes if there is Repell-em anywhere near where you store them.  I keep pieces of Repell-em in my pantry, and everything in there is safe.

Repell-em products are wonderful.  I don’t know how I managed without them!

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!

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 have two cats, and keeping them out of the trash used to be an ongoing trial in this house.  They went after the garbage in the kitchen wastebasket constantly, and when the bag was full and I tied it off and put it on the floor before tossing it out on the deck before putting it in the back of the pickup truck before hauling it off to the dump (Are you following me?  You’re not lost, are you?) the cats would bite and tear through the bag to get to the yummy spoiling goodness inside.

Ever since I started using Repell-em trash bags, the cats have left the kitchen trash completely alone.  They don’t smell it and they don’t see it.  This is a wonderful thing for me, because picking up trash and bits of garbage the cats left strewn about on my kitchen floor, and constantly re-bagging the garbage because the cats tore it apart, was really getting old.  REALLY old.

Now, nothing bothers the kitchen trash, and nothing bothers the tied-off trash bags no matter WHERE they are.  Using Repell-em bags in my kitchen not only keeps the animals away from the garbage, it also keep the insects out of my kitchen!

Thank you, Repell-em!

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’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.

I don’t what what kind they are, or why they’re there, but every summer, I get these disgusting little bugs under my kitchen sink.  It’s dry under there; no leaks or standing water.  The pipes are dry, too.  I don’t keep any organic substances under the sink; just soap!  Where do these bugs come from and why are there under the sink?

Rather, why WERE they under the sink, is more like it.  This summer, I wrapped a Repell-em bag around the U-pipe, and so far, not a single bug of any kind has shown its scaly face under there.

When the weather gets hot and muggy, the insects are in paradise.  Stick a Repell-em bag in all those enclosed spaces; they smell great to people, and you won’t be troubled by insects.  I’m serious.  I use nothing but Repell-em bags now, and not only are they the best trash bags ever, they’ve got so many other useful uses, I should write a book!

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.
