Repell-em Blog

Don’t forget the Repellem Contest!  It’s still going on, and you’ve got until Valentine’s Day to enter!

You know, as I glanced out my patio doors at my trash bags which were waiting to be taken to the landfill, I realized that the Repellem bags are red, and the EcoSmart bags are green.  The sight made me think of Christmas.  Together, they represent the very best that a clean, green home can be.

Both bags are made of 100% natural ingredients, and both bags are completely biodegradable.  Both bags keep your home safe from insects and vermin, and neither bag, powerful as they are, is a safety threat to your children.  In fact, your children are SAFER in a home that uses EcoSmart and Repellem products.

I really like my neighbor’s Christmas use of her Repellem bags.

Do any of you have an interesting use for your Repellem products?  If you do, please let us know.  Your idea might be prize-worthy!

We here at EcoSmart love to give our commenters prizes.

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.

P.S.  Remember, our fantastic EcoSmart Blog Contest will be running until Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2009.  If you haven’t signed up already, please do it now!
