I've owned a Thermacell now going on two seasons and I've never gotten the opportunity to use it. This was the first weekend where the mosquitos in my area were insane. After getting all bit up I whipped out the Thermacell within about a minute they stopped completely. Not even one of them. My buddy who was about 20 yards away was completely covered in them. As a test he stayed still and I got close. It took a couple of minutes but they all took off. I kept the thermacell in my back pocket and it just kept them away.

We were getting in and out of the truck that day quite a bit and I forgot it later that day and I ended up regretting it. I was back to being bitten.

The nicest thing about it is that you don't even have to hear the mosquitos buzzing around because they just stay away.

The only down side to this thing is the cost.

It really does what it says it does.
