Repell-em Helps Keep Your Children Safe!
Posted in Bug-free picnics, household use, Repell-em trash bags, Unique gift, Camping, Outdoors, Safety, Helpful Hints, Repell-emThe little girls next door to me have a treehouse, but they weren’t using it this summer. I asked their mother why, and she said it had wasps in it!
I’m deathly afraid of wasps, but I hated it that those sweet little girls weren’t able to use their treehouse. There was no way I was going to knock down the papery wasp-house, but I had another plan. I wasn’t sure it would work: wasps are pretty powerful bugs, but it was worth a try.
So I got a couple of my Repell-em trash bags, wadded them up so they’d “hurl” better, and hurled them both (tied ‘em to a rock!) through the window of that treehouse. Within seconds a CLOUD of wasps poured out of that little window, and they never came back.
We waited a few days just to make sure, and then my neighbor’s husband climbed into the treehouse and took down the wasps’ former home.
The girls’ mother festooned the treehouse with Repell-em, and the little girls have been playing up there ever since.
The end.
P.S. I believe that Repell-em products are one of the grandest inventions of the century. They haven’t failed me yet. I wasn’t sure they’d repel WASPS, for heaven’s sake, but they did!

I showed you my pest-free tomato garden last Friday. Today, I’m going to show you how I grow tomatoes on my deck - upside-down.
I wasn’t sure it would work, but I found the idea on
Here’s a close-up of the upside-down tomato. Here, you can plainly see the strip of red Repell-em that I wrapped around the top of the bucket. Not only is that little strip of Repell-em keeping all the bugs and animals away from the tomato; it’s also keep the mites and flies away from the petunias - even when there’s standing water around them!
We plant our tomatoes in a railroad flat, and every year we fight Mother Nature and all her minions for the fruits of our labor. I’m not sure who gets more tomatoes: Bambi and his mother, or all the nasty little worms and insects that feast on the tomatoes and then devour the plants down to the roots.
