Repell-em Blog

Many of us have resolved to have a cleaner and greener 2010, and one way to begin is to use EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!

So many household products these days are made of chemicals created in test tubes in laboratories, and we have to be careful to guard our children and our pets from contact with them.  Not so with EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products!!!

EcoSmarPlastics Repellem and Eco-smartbag products are made of 100% natural ingredients, each ingredient absolutely harmless to all living things.  (Repellem REPELS, it doesn’t kill!)  Your small children are completely safe in a home that uses EcoSmartPlastics Repellem products.  Not only will your home be free of insects; you will not have to worry about babies or toddlers being harmed by contact with dangerous products!  The ingredients in EcoSmart and Repellem are SAFE!!!!

You won’t have to worry about your pets getting into the garbage, either.  With Repellem trash bags, your dogs and cats won’t even know you’ve GOT garbage!  And when you set your full trash bags outdoors, possums and raccoons won’t be able to sense them, either.

Let’s all begin 2010 with a cleaner, greener, SAFER home!

EcoSmart Plastics’ Repellem products are absolutely and 100% Earth-friendly, and will help you maintain a cleaner, greener home.

Repellem products are also 100% safe; your children will not be harmed by any Repellem product, because they are made of 100% natural ingredients.  There are no harmful chemicals or poisons in any Repellem product.

EcoSmart Plastics products biodegrade quickly and completely, leaving no “pieces” behind.  Nor do they require oxygen to decompose, as all other trash bags and plastics products do.

When you put EcoSmart’s Repellem products in your home, you are helping the Earth, saving money, and keeping your family safe.  Who could ask for more from a trash bag?

My husband is a math teacher, and in his classroom,  he likes the look of large houseplants.  Unfortunately, on Monday of this week - the first day back from Christmas break - he noticed that his large houseplants were infested with gnats.  The janitors told him that if he didn’t take care of that, he’d have to bring the plants home.

He took a Repellem trash bag to school yesterday, cut it into strips, and tied a strip loosely around the stems of each plant.  By the end of the day, there were no more gnats.

The Repellem strips drove the gnats away in a matter of a few hours.  The gnats were gone.  GONE.

I wasn’t surprised.  Remember, I used Repellem in the garden all summer, and I had not a single insect of any kind in there.  Repellem even kept the deer away!

If you’ve got houseplants, you’re going to get gnats.  Well, you’re going to get gnats UNLESS you tie a Repellem strip around each stem.  If you do that, you won’t get gnats.  Or any other kind of insect, either!  People who love African violets also love Repellem products!  People with ferns, or geraniums, or various ivies, all love Repellem products.  No matter what kind of plant you’ve got, Repellem can keep it safe from insects.  Your pets won’t use your houseplants as a salad bar if you’ve got Repellem on them, either.

Remember, Repellem products are 100% natural.  They won’t hurt the plants; they won’t hurt the air in your home; they won’t hurt your pets; and they won’t harm your children.  There is nothing whatsoever in any Repellem product that constitutes a danger to your children, to your pets, to you, or to the environment.  100% natural, and 100% biodegradable, and 100% effective.

No other product compares to Repellem.  EcoSmart Plastics did a great job with it.

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!

My deck used to be almost unusable, because that’s where we tossed our full trash bags.  After a day or two - sometimes, within minutes - the possums and raccoons caught scent of our garbage and descended on the deck like piranha, tearing those cheap white trash bags to pieces, feasting on the smelly garbage, and leaving the deck covered with shreds of white plastic and whatever  garbage even the animals didn’t want.  Sitting out on the deck, in the swing, became an ordeal.  Besides, we never felt that the deck was really clean or even safe, because of all those animals swarming over it in the night.  Sometimes, even in the day!

With EcoSmart’s Repellem trash bags, though,  I really feel that my deck is clean.  I still toss my filled trash bags out there in their own little corner at night, but in the morning, lo and behold, those bulging trash bags, still full of smelly goodness (if you’re a raccoon, that is) are intact.  Untouched.

My deck is clean.

I don’t have to worry about the children stepping in visible - or invisible- possum poo.  I don’t have to crawl on my hands and knees, picking up bones and shreds of plastic.

I feel safer and cleaner.  My entire home feels safer and cleaner.

Greener, too, since Repellem trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely biodegradable.

I feel as though I’m helping to keep the entire planet cleaner and greener when I use Repellem products.

In fact, I feel secure in stating that if everyone used EcoSmart’s Repellem products, the entire planet WOULD be cleaner, greener, and a lot safer.
