Purchased the Patio Shield Repeller last month. I have other lantern products which I am happy with but wanted to have something to set on a table by pool chairs. Product worked well even with my Florida mosquitoes and is heavy enough they can't fly off with it. Colors are great and fit in with the sunshine and decor. I like the cap feature that I can put on after use to avoid rain/sprinkler damage. The cap closes the unit up nicely. But, I still don't recommend taking it with you on a pool float though!! :-)

I purchased this a month ago because so many flying insects eating me alive and nothing but that horrible bug spray would keep them away. Since I am not a fan of using bug spray I opted for this. FANTASTIC SO GLAD I DID! My patio faces the woods and this works beautifully

I bought this package a few weeks ago with a lantern one as well and the 120 hour refill pack This item works but not for the period stated on the box If there is a lawyer out there I hope we can have a class action lawsuit going for this pricey product that tho it works for maybe an Hour and a half certainly doesn’t work for four hours like it says the mat should They need to create a product that does what I say and quit doing false advertising

Bought the Patio Shield and it works great! We have other Therma Cell products for hunting and have never been disappointed. Sitting on the front porch at dusk in Louisiana is not a problem any more. Mosquitos are gone. Kids are safe from irritating bites. We love our Therma Cell !

9 people (5 adults 4 kids) camping and last year the mosquitos ruined the outdoor aspect of our trip. Found these by chance and I am here to tell you they are nothing short of a miracle. We set 5 up all around our campsite creating a safe zone. Not a bite or buzz. As soon as we stepped out of our perimeter it was epic plague like attacks on every inch of flesh. These are a must have and the creator of this product should be hailed as the genius they are.

I do a great deal of outside work....especially at night. I really dislike the oily sprays that attract more dirt than they repel mosquitoes. I purchased a Thermacell and I'm a customer for life! This is the best, reliable product in a very long time that really works.

We bought a few of these 6 months ago and love it just dont like the fact that none of the stores carry anything more than the refills that come with both the Mosquito repellent mats and fuel cartridges. We go through so many more fuel cartridges and they are out of stock online.

Mosquitoes absolutely love my daughter. And she welts up big time from a mere touch of a mosquito. We use it at our patio table and the mosquitoes just don't come near. Other bugs still find us. But not mosquitos. They just don't come near us. Period. I only wish it had an auto-off setting with a little 'ding' when it needed to be re-set. It's easy to put it under the table and forget it's on.

Fire pit, right next to marsh. Cat tails and beaver hut in sight. I tested it. It worked. It worked impressively in my humble opinion. I've been in that area with nothing and was lighter due to the amount of blood I had removed by them pesky critters. I've been able to sit there for hours with no spray and never so much as a swat from my hand. If it's windy enough to keep the bugs away, don't light it. If the bugs will be looking for you, light er up. I turn mine on right away, before I even look at starting a fire. Once the fires going, I've never been bothered. My significant other has gotten a couple bites, ok, a couple. But as an observer, I've notice a big increase in a content look on her face, and much much less mosquitoes swatting. Yes, there is a cost involved, and a cost to operate. Worth it from my point of view. These folks deserve to make some bucks for this contraption, cause it works. I've already bought a significant back up of butane cartridge and magic stuff patches. Word of warning. The first time I turned it off, thats all I did. Turned it to off and put er on the shelf. Next time I went to use it, was empty, no fuel. Now, I turn it off, reach up and unscrew the gas. Still worth it, it works.

I am camping in a Provincial park in Canada for 5 months. I have allergies to scents and didn’t want to put nasty chemicals like deet on my skin,so I suffered the mosquitos from May to the 2nd week in June. The mosquitos became more ravenous and seemed to get bigger in size, so I not a got a Thermacell. I can now bbq, relax, eat and drink outside without constantly swatting the mosquitos. It starting working within 5 minutes of starting it and there was not one mosquito on my patio. I love this thing and I tell everyone about it. In Northwestern Ontario, Canada our summers are short so thank you for making my time outside much more enjoyable.
