Took mine to the rifle range yesterday. It does work. Position it upwind of your position. No noticable odors either.

So it works off of an odor? I thought it was some kind of sound that skeeters didn't like.....

It has a butane cartridge and an insecticide (allethrin) coated mat. Both the mats and cartridges are easily replacable when they run out. Refills are available for both. No sound repellency...just a safe insecticide that vaporizes (from heat from the butane cartridge) and migrates into the air.
