Tired of giving the same kind of gift year after year? Well, why not depart from tradition somewhat this time, and give your family and friends something that they will not only USE, but also benefit by?

Ecosmart Plastics and Repellem products will help keep your loved ones’ homes or businesses cleaner, safer, and free from insects and vermin!

Repellem trash bags are a fabulous gift for a daycare director, or your child’s teacher, for example. Our trash bags will help ensure that small children can crawl and play SAFELY on the floor, and that even areas that are hard to keep clean - small children do that, you know - you won’t have to worry about ants, roaches, or mice.

Another great quality of Repellem bags is their safety; the bags are made of 100% recyclable materials, and are also 100% safe, even if a child tries to eat one!

Here is a complete list of what Repellem bags are composed of, in case you’re wondering.

A box or two - or a case - of Repellem trash bags would be a much-appreciated gift for anyone who doesn’t really want bugs or mice, and isn’t that everybody you know?

Your kids are bringing home long lists of needed school supplies, both for themselves and for the classroom in general.

While you’re filling that bag with tissues, scissors, hand sanitizer, and other items to be used and shared in your child’s classroom, why not add a box or two of EcoSmart Plastics Repellem Trash Bags?

Classrooms are full of people, washed and unwashed.  Classrooms are full of packed lunches - can you hear the cockroaches and flies cheering?  Classrooms are full of sandaled feet - moist toejam, anyone?  A typical classroom is a veritable buffet of delights for insects and mice!

Let me sum up, as they say in The Princess Bride:  Your children’s classrooms need EcoSmart Plastics and Repellem trash bags probably more than your kitchen does, and we already know your kitchen needs them DESPERATELY.

Send a couple of Repellem boxes to school, maybe with a note explaining their awesome usefulness to the teacher - and we’re betting you’ll be the most popular family on this year’s roster!

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!

Holiday time is fast approaching, and it’s time to start making lists and checking them twice.  Santa Claus isn’t the only one who gives gifts, you know.

This year, why not give your friends and family an EcosmartPlastics Repellem product?  It’s not really an odd gift, you know.  It’s something they’ll use, and fall in love with, and wonder how they ever got along with out them!

Besides, they’re red, like Christmas.

Personally, I would love it if someone gave me the gift of EcosmartPlastics Repellem; I use the trash bags regularly, and I use the tablecloths in the warm weather when we eat outdoors.  I also use EcosmartPlastics Repellem products in my garden, which is, believe it or not, still going strong.  In Indiana, we’re having another summer in November; it’s been in the seventies!  Without EcosmartPlastics Repellem in my garden, the bugs and little wild animals would have been feasting in there; WITH Repellem wrapped around all the tomato cages, I’ve had no problem whatsoever with bugs or animals all summer long, and summer HAS been long here this year!

You can find EcoSmartPlastics Repellem and Ecosmart Bags many places now; the products are really becoming popular now that more people know what they can do!  Order some for yourself, and while you’re doing that, order some to give for holiday gifts this year!

It’s been an unusually warm November, and December promises to be much the same!  This means those pesky ladybug beetles and spiders will still be active, even into the winter.

You can keep your house safe from these and other pests with an Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem wreath on your door.  It’s easy to create:

Take a wire coat hanger and bend it into a circle, or whatever shape you want your wreath to be.  Then take about ten Ecosmartplastics’ Repellem trash bags and cut them into strips of about six inches.  Start  tying the strips around the hangar, pushing them as close together as you possibly can.

After your hangar is completely covered with Repellem strips, decorate with holiday picks, and hang on your front door.

Not a single bug will enter your home through that door!  The Repellem wreath will last about a month before its effectiveness wears off.  And that’s just about the right length of time - it will last through the entire holiday season!

It’s autumn, and that’s spider time!  Those creepy and sometimes dangerous little - or big! - spiders are invading our homes and setting up camp in our shoes!

Be careful, in fact, when you get out your cold-weather shoes, for brown recluse spiders love to live in the toes of our boots.  A bite from a brown recluse is nothing to take lightly, either; they can even be fatal!

How do we get rid of spiders without spraying harmful chemicals?  Easy!  Just cut a few Ecosmart Repellem trash bags or tablecloths up, and arrange the pieces in, among, and around your shoes in your closet. Throw a piece of Repellem over your closet bar, too.  In fact, put your summer clothes in a Repellem bag before storing them away, and you’ll be really glad next spring when you get them out again.

The point is, EcoSmart Repellem products live up to their name:  They REPEL almost all bugs and things that look like bugs, and this means your home will be cleaner and safer for you and for your children.  Remember, if your child or infant is bitten by a spider, the results can be much worse than if an adult is bitten.  Use Ecosmart Repellem products around your house, and NOBODY will be bitten because all the bugs will be driven away.  When you think of Repellem, think “Pied Piper of Hamelin,” for Repellem is just as good at getting rid of unwanted “livestock” as the legendary Piper was!

Repellem is easy to purchase, too.  Order from our website, or find them at many stores as well.  CVS now carries Repellem products, as do Cabela’s, Vitamin Shoppe, and many others.

Especially if there are small children living in your home, Ecosmart Repellem is a wonderful way to keep your house clean, safe, and green.  Repellem products are absolutely harmless to humans, even tiny humans, and not only that; they’re also 100% biodegradable, and made of 100% natural products.

Best of all:  no bugs in your house!  They’ll keep the mice away, too!

Most schools these days can’t function without donations from parents.  That is a sad fact of life.

If your child’s teacher has trash bags on the list of classroom needs, why not send EcoSmart Repellem trash bags to school!  It would mean that your child, and all the other children in the room, would be learning in a completely insect-free environment, no matter how many cookie crumbs were spilled onto the floor!

How comforting to know that your child’s daytime environment was clean and vermin-free!  What a relief to picture your child perhaps sitting on the floor, working over posterboards or stacking blocks, and not have to worry about roaches, gnats, fleas, or even lice!

That’s right: lice.  Many parents are tying a little strip of Repellem around their child’s headband or barrette, or around a necklace, or through a collar buttonhole, to keep away the insects that love to hop from head to head in any crowded classroom.  Tie it in a pretty red bow, or put it where it won’t show at all!  It will also keep the mosquitoes away from your child when it’s recess time.

EcoSmart Repellem trash bags are made of 100% natural ingredients and are completely recyclable and environmentally sound.  There is nothing in a Repellem trash bag that could harm a child, even if the bags are used in daycare or preschools where a child might chew or suck on a trash bag.  They are excellent for use in daycare, in fact, because dirty diapers will not attract insects - not even flies - if disposed of in a Repellem trash bag!

Your child’s teacher will appreciate any donations you can send, of course, but if you send Ecosmart Repellem products, the teacher and all of the other parents will genuinely, thoroughly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

It’s such a small thing, but it has a HUGE impact!  Not having to worry about insects or mice will be a relief to the teachers, and it will be one worry crossed off each parent’s list, too!

I went on a picnic today with my old high school girlfriends and our husbands.  Our state park shelter was open on two sides, and all around us were other shelters with large groups in them, too.

Funny thing, though. . . . all the other people in the park were slapping at mosquitoes and spraying smelly hazardous repellants on themselves and on their children.  Heaven only knows what their food tasted like after being so close to such strong-smelling stuff!

But in our park shelter, my friends and I were NOT slapping at mosquitoes.  We didn’t even have any ants!  There were no nasty odors from strong poisonous sprays at our picnic table.  The only time one of us got bitten was when a couple of the husbands walked across the parking lot to get something out of the car.

What was the difference between our picnic setup and everybody else’s?  Simple.  We had an EcoSmart Repellem tablecloth on our table, and two EcoSmart Repellem trash bags hanging off the ends of the unused table in our shelter.

And, we had no bugs.  Nope, not one.  I recommend EcoSmart Repellem products to all of you this summer, for your picnics, and for your general day-by-day living.  “No bugs” is nice, and extends to your home if you use EcoSmart Repellem products there, too.

I do.   Wouldn’t be without them!

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?

I gave my neighbor a box of Repellem tall kitchen trash bags, and she’s now madly in love with the product.  I told her how the Repellem tablecloth under my tree kept the cats away from it, and she did me one better:  she wrapped an empty box in bright red Repellem, stuck a big white bow on it,  and put it under her tree with the rest of the gifts.  That smallish Repellem-wrapped box is sufficient to keep all the rest of her gifts AND her tree safe from her curious dogs.  She has two small children, and wanted some kind of repellant product that was 100% safe to use around kids.  Repellem certainly fits that description!

Repellem isn’t noticeable at ALL. That bright red box now blends right in with her other gifts.

Repellem has a hundred million different uses, and each one works like a charm,  and each one looks fine, and each one is sturdy and strong. What more could anyone ask of a piece of plastic?

Remember, too, that if you have a real evergreen tree, Repellem will also keep the insects away from it and out of it.
