I went out Sat morning and the mosquitos ate me alive. I might need to get tested for west nile.
Has anyone tried the thermocell or do you have other suggestions other than staying home?

They are one of VERY few gadget/gizmo thingies that actually WORK like the makersays it will.

Not only that, but someone who's as big a Luddite as me can not only get it to work , but to work without BREAKING IT!

Now that's some product!

If my track record with using products like this is any indication of the future, you'd better buy TWO (or more) of them, because sure as shootin', they will STOP making them!!!

OK, since someone else brought it up... Any hints on getting the thing to start quickly? I took mine out tonight, popped in the butane canister and inserted the blue mat. Turned it to "on" and pushed the start button half a dozen times. I finally put it away because the darn button was too loud for my tastes clicking it like that. Once or twice, would have been fine, but it seemed awfully loud clicking it that many times so I put it back in my bag.

Suggestions?

I always turn mine on and let it sit for about 20 seconds, then hit the button. Usually works on 2 or 3 clicks.

Same here for mine...it seems to work faster if the butane canister is kept warm in a pants pocket too
I use mine mainly for scent dispersion in the woods...for the mosquitoes though at home while working in the garage!
