Repell-em Blog

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!

If you live in southern Indiana, you’ve seen this sight before.

Possums are the only North American marsupial, and they grow to be pretty darn big and extremely strong. A full-grown possum can tear a trash bag to ribbons and scatter its contents over a acre or more in a matter of minutes. Few garbage cans, even with lids that seal tightly, are capable of keeping a determined possum out. Their sense of smell is STRONG, and their sense of entitlement - to your garbage - is stronger.

However, a full-grown possum is no match for a Repell-em trash bag. Most animals can’t see Repell-em bags very well, for starters, because of their color, and most animals won’t come NEAR a Repell-em bag because they are repelled by the smell.

By the way, Repell-em bags smell really good to humans. The all-natural ingredients, completely harmless to people, combine to make a product that doesn’t just smell okay, as in “not stinky;” Repell-em bags smell GOOD. Like a nice candle you’d buy.

Put your garbage out on the deck or out by the street the night before it’s due to be picked up, and chances are that dogs, raccoons, and possums will tear it to pieces within the hour - IF it’s in ordinary trash bags. Put your garbage out on the deck or out by the street the night before it’s due to be picked up, and chances are that dogs, raccoons, and possums won’t even know it’s there - IF it’s in Repell-em trash bags.

Out in the country, we have terrible possum problems. They’re bold, and big, and sometimes they snarl and bite if they’ve honed in on your garbage and intend to have it. Possums carry rabies, too. They’re nocturnal, so if you see one during the day, RUN.

Of course, if you use Repell-em bags, you won’t have that problem at all. The possums will all be at your neighbor’s house, tearing up the turf. YOUR garbage -even the fish heads and leftover sauerkraut and kielbasa - will be safe and unmolested inside your Repell-em trash bags.
