The item was recommended by my daughter, we used it one Friday evening, the thing rocks. Works like it says, down here in South Texas and with all the recent rains. Its mosquito season at its fullest. And with a whole bunch of gran kids, so needless to say, it works great. Got them all outside in the pool, may need to get something that disperses much wider or a couple more to cover most of our backyard. Most highly recommended.. thumbs up...

It is not the savior I wanted. It "seems to reduce the swarms a little in our backyard but it still is a trial to pass through there when I'm getting my dogs ready for their walks. Still have to spray on repellent if I plan on doing more than just passing through to the gate.

I can’t say enough about these products. I purchased several different styles of these repellants. We had a trip planned for the North woods of WI and wanted to be able to enjoy outside with layering my skin with chemicals. I really didn’t think they would work, boy was I proven wrong. After the first night our family dubbed the protected area as “The circle of trust”. As long as you were in the radius of the Thermacells no flying bugs of any kind. Walk away from the circle of trust, you were fair game for the war of human and mosquito. The mosquitos were out almost all day, so the circle of trust or a single unit would travel from cabin to cabin, while on a walk or fishing from the pier. I did purchase twice as many as recommended for a 40 square foot area. We had 17 in our group for that week in WI. Not one bite on anyone as long as they were near a Thermacel unit. They REALLY WORK!

It works. I purchased the unit from large sporting goods store. The unit was using to much butane. I contact thermacell the customer service was excellent. In a few days a new unit was sent and refills. I am customer now for life a new customer. Thanks again it works no bites. Great experience thanks again. Paw

I bought this several weeks ago. We live in a wetland area, and this has been one of the worst years ever for mosquitos. We’ve not been able to sit outside in the evening at all without being bitten constantly. We have now been able to sit on our deck for 4-5 hours in the evening without a single bite with the use of our patio shield. This is a game changer.

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.

We bought this hoping, but, knowing it would not work, and, guess what it did not work. We have a cottage an hour north of the Muskoka's and we tried it there. Twice! Not even in the worst part of the mosquito season and it is a joke. Waste of money...

It works so well that the mosquitos and flies have swarmed our small, outdoor patio. They’re so enamored with the “repellant” that they land on the units and happily hang out there until dive bombing us. Unfortunately, we purchased two before we knew better and we are as immersed in disappointment as we are in bites.

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.

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 !
