Thermacell Mosquito Backpacker Repeller, Gen 2.0 with 16 Hours of Repellent; 15 Foot Zone of Mosquito Protection; Long Lasting, Deet Free Bug Spray Alternative, Scent Free

Wow! This is a mighty powerful repellent when you go backpacking/camping. I'm so happy I bought this!. It runs off an isobutane canister so no recharging needed, the repellent pads last a good while and it actually works! For what it accomplishes, the price is well worth it. I used it outdoors for my last two camping adventures and I was kept clear of mosquito bites. An excellent product that I highly recommend!

I have my leather working bench outside and am out there for most of the day everyday. The mosquitoes are extremely annoying and I've tried everything to keep them off me to no avail. A friend recommended the thermocell backpacker and said it works perfectly. I finally bought one not really expecting much from it, but worth a try. I set it up in the evening and as I was the mosquitoes were swarming me. About 20 minutes later I realized there wasn't one mosquito around me. The next day I set it up and started working, and realized that not only were there no mosquitoes, but the flies were notbothering me either!!! This thing works for all flying bugs! Even the moths and other bugs that swarm around lights. Frickin awesome product!!!

I was incredibly skeptical, even after a recommendation from a friend. I caught it on sale and since it uses the same fuel canisters I have plenty of already, I figured why not? I was setting up the grill to cook out this weekend and normally the flies come in by the 100's. I set this up a few minutes before I lit the grill and let it do its thing. When I came back to start cooking, and all the way until I was done, I saw no more than two flies at any given time. This thing absolutely works, it's easy to use, and barely burned any fuel in the two hours it was going. 10/10 - will absolutely buy these again just to have a few on hand to set a perimeter.

OK....I am impressed. After trying several home remedies including screen on box fan, Ivory soap, Bleach in sprayer, yeast concoctions, and retail solutions including citronella candles, Off, and Spartian repellents, this thermocell backpacker is the cats meow. I started it about 45 mins ago for the first time. Got my easy shorts on, a few beverages, and my lawn chair. After 45 mins, I have one or two bites but that was before unit was fully performing. Granted I am on a covered patio surrounded by 3 walls, but I am impressed! I plan to add to this review later after I try it in the yard. This is an honest farmboy review and I purchased all products with my hard earned American dollar! OK....as stated...I moved after my first hour to "THE YARD"!!! As with the porch....I got 4 bites when first relocating. After about 20 mins...post activity has diminished but not gone. There is a very slight breeze so I placed the Thermocell upwind about 5' from me. That helps but doesn't totally eliminate the little f***ers. I will provide summary after I go in for the night. (And after a few beverages. I speak my mind freely...LOL) SUMMARY....this device is probably the best mosquito deterent I have found so far. It is pretty great in zero wind scenarios however sitting in backyard with a very slight breeze I received multiple bites...about 8 - 10. Am I disappointed? To some extent...yes. I expected a bit more in open areas like sitting in lawn chair in middle of back yard. Does it work....definitely...but only when wind doesn't blow the effective fumes away. I moved the device right under my legs nearly under my chair and it seems to work a bit better. WOULD I BUY AGAIN? YES As stated...this is the best I have found so far for repelling mosquitos. While not 100? Effective I would say it is 85 to 90% effective for me. Hope my review helps you in your selection.

Great build quality, very durable. The design is perfect and packs away nicely. We found it to be very effective with mosquitoes but not bigger bugs like deer flys and horse flys. The cards last about an hr outside. There is a slight odor but its not disturbing at all. The only suggestion I would make is it doesn't tell you what kind of fuel to buy! Thats the reason for 4 stars and not 5. Luckily I am a very outdoorsy person and was able ti use past common knowledge to know it take the cooking style Butane canister. It doesn't use much fuel at all and in my opinion is the more cost effective thermacell. The rubber plug on the bottom is a nice touch to keep debris out. The bag was great for storage. All in all it works great. I would highly recommend. This is for outdoor use only!!

Solo lo he usado una vez. Parece ser que si funciona para el area especificada sin embargo se me estuvo apagando constantemente con el aire que no era muy intenso. Se probó fuera de casa en una reunión. zona de mosquitos. Le daré una segunda oportunidad en área de camping. Consideró que tienes que cuidar la orientación del viento para que no se esté apagando. A ver qué tal. Actualizare mi opinión de acuerdo al resultado.
