I use them in Canada spring bear hunting you would not catch me the woods with out it. when walking into and getting set up the black flies and skeeters are all over you and after about 5 minutes with the thermal cell on they all disapear

I use both a thermacell and permethrin and I swear by both. The thermacell will keep mosquitos away no doubt. As far as tick are concerned, I got ticks on me every year I've ever turkey hunted, until I started using permethrin. Not one single tick since.

I don't go turkey hunting without mine...they just work. I also use permethrin...treat my boots and clothing before the season, then again a little over halfway through...I haven't had a tick attached to me while turkey hunting in several years.

I bought one for a Canadian bear several years ago. Money well spent! I've taken it to Canada for 3 bear hunts and 2 Osceola hunts in Florida. I will have it packed with me for our Osceola hunt this weekend too.

Was just curious as to how many actually use a Therma-cell unit during the spring season? Think I bought one when they first came on the market years ago, and swear by them. Keeps the skeeters and black flys away very well indeed. Would be lost without. Even have the holster that holds an extra butane bottle and several scent paks too.

My wife and the next door neighbor lady both use one of those when they're out in their gardens and both think it works pretty good. All you do is stick that little gizmo in the machine after you take it out of the wrapping and turn on the fan. I may try ours out this year in the turkey woods and see what I think of it. They are much cheaper to run than the Thermacell and there is no butane to burn and the inserts are a lot cheaper than the ones for the Thermacell.
