Repell-em Blog

This summer has been so terribly hot that people haven’t been eating outside as we normally do during these months. However, right now the weather is moderating, and hovering in the high seventies with a nice breeze. It’s perfect picnic weather!

Except, of course, for the insects, which seem to love the heat and have also seemed to grow enormously in population.

This means nothing to picnic lovers who use EcoSmart Repellem products.

Just spread one of our Repellem tablecloths on your outdoor table, and you will have no further trouble with flies, gnats, wasps, ants, or any other potato-salad-loving wildlife. Don’t worry about your outdoor trash basket, either – a Repellem trash bag will keep out the livestock, and it will do a better, safer, cleaner, and greener job of it than any spray or poison you might have tried in the past.

A few Ecosmart Repellem products in the picnic basket, along with the chicken, baked beans, and hot rolls, will ensure that your outdoor eating experience is a pleasant one. All those cartoons about ants and flying insects buzzing picnic lovers will be funny again, and quite OUT of your experience, if you use Repellem cloths and bags when you eat outdoors.

Every day, more and more retailers are carrying EcoSmart Repellem products. And if your favorite store doesn’t, why don’t you ask them to? You can always order our products right here online, of course, but sometimes it’s nice to find them on a shelf in a store you patronize a lot, anyway.

Ecosmart Repellem products are great to buy for yourself, and they also make a great gift for others. Now that I can get them from Alice.com, it’s even easier! Some people might think household products like Repellem would be an odd gift to give someone, but I think like this: if I myself would love to get something as a gift, maybe others would, too. So far, I’ve given Repellem trash bags to many friends and family members and the gratitude is genuine.

Seriously. And Alice.com will deliver wherever you ask them to deliver!

When you order anything from Alice.com, the shipping is free, and your Repellem products (and anything else you order from there) are delivered right to your door. How easy is that? When you open your box, there are your Repellem bags, along with your detergent, cat litter, and anything you’ve ordered.

I generally order big, heavy things from Alice.com to save myself the hassle of lugging them around in the store and loading/unloading them from the car. Repellem products aren’t big or heavy, but the convenience of having them delivered right along with other useful household products is just too good to pass up.

I buy Repellem bags in two sizes: large trash bags and the smaller kitchen-size bags. We had a terrible ant problem in the kitchen this super hot summer until I got out the Ecosmart Repellem bags; now, when I clean my sink and countertops, they stay clean until the people who live here mess them up. I haven’t seen a single ant since I put out the Repellem bags!

Neither has anyone who got Repellem from me as a gift, either.

Repellem products also smell wonderful; it’s like having expensive candles without the expense or danger of burning down the house!

This summer has been hotter than. . . usual, and we humans have spent as much of our time as possible indoors instead of outside. No cooling breezes, no soothing rain. . . it’s been an unusual and dangerous summer for people.

If you’re an insect, however, the summer has been perfection. Many bugs prosper in the heat, and our cats and dogs have required more than the usual amount of flea-and-tick treatments.
Inside where it’s cool might be more comfortable for people, but the bugs are quite aware that inside is where the opportunities are. Our clothing, our bodies, our carpets, our furniture, and most especially, our kitchens, are seen as big playgrounds for the huge populations of this summer’s insects!

The ant population, for example, is big in any season and circumstance, but right now, the ants are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. In our house, for example, the ants have pretty much taken over the kitchen sink and countertops, and nothing we tried seemed to put a dent in it. We used sprays, and poisons, and powders, and natural “green” solutions. We called three different exterminators. The ants came back every time.

Then I took a few Repellem trash bags and put them behind the stove, under the sink, and behind the refrigerator. I cut up a few Repellem bags and put the pieces here and there in the pantry, silverware drawer, and cabinets.

As I type, there are no ants anywhere to be seen. Repellem repelled them.

It works, folks. Repellem products are better than anything else on the market today, and believe me, we tried everything this summer. Nothing works like a Repellem product.

Rumor has it that the coming summer is going to be an extra-hot one, and when the summer is extra hot, the insects are extra-populous.

An excess of bugs means a lot of bugs competing for your sweat, your pets, and your potato salad.

With animals and children in the house, you don’t want to use sprays, poisons, traps, or anything that might harm – or worse – a child or a pet.  You don’t want to use anything in your home that will contaminate your surfaces or your food.

With all of this in mind, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are exactly what you need to keep your home safer, cleaner, and greener.

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are made of 100% biodegradable, 100% safe, 100% natural materials; there is nothing in our products that is harmful to humans or animals.

Animals and insects are, however, absolutely repelled by Repellem.  They won’t come near your family or your home, and this will make your house even cleaner and safer!

EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem products are the ideal animal and insect repellants for your precious home and your even more precious family.

Order yours today, before the hot weather hits!

The winter has been so mild that many of us haven’t even worn our warmest winter coats yet, and now it’s almost time to pack them away again!

My coat still smells faintly of Repellem, which is a good thing because Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem products smell really good.  It’s not an “insecticide” or chemical kind of smell at all; it’s more like expensive candles, only much fainter.

When our coats and sweaters retain a little of the smell, it’s awesome.

Let’s all make sure we’ve got plenty of Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem products on hand so we can pack away our winter coats and woolens soon.
