I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I was pleasantly surprised how easy this was to set up and use. Our yard has a lot of mosquitos and worked really well at keeping them away. We noticed maybe a couple of mosquitos while using this when we would normally be swarmed by them.

The patio shield mosquito protector did a great job keeping away the nasty mosquitoes that are always drawn to me, eating me alive as I sit outside on my camper patio. The amount of mosquitoes decreased tremendously making it so much nicer for me to be able to sit out without having to be sprayed from head to toe with repellent. Although a rogue one or two would get me, this product decreased the presence of the several dozen that usually are out there attacking me. Living in hot, humid Florida, this thermacell is a must have! Thank you for making it more enjoyable for me to sit outside!

I recently bought one of these in hopes that it would help combat the mosquitoes that seem to live my apartment patio. I decided to try it without the candles and sprays to get a good test and feel for the device. I made sure the kid was off, the gas was on tight, that I seen the orange glow and the mat was fresh and blue. I waited the suggested 15 minutes on a calm day (no wind) before walking outside. It took me about 20 minutes of being a buffet for those little blood sucking vampires before I realized that I wasted $30-$40 on this unit and the refill pads and fuel. lol

Bought this for our covered porch in north Florida. Mosiquitos are year around in FLorida. They love to hide in the knooks and crannys f the porch the Patio Shield kept them at bay and my husband and I along with our dog were able to enjoy the woodsy view without worrying about being bit by mosquitos

After 27 years, I can finally enjoy my flower-filled front porch without covering yself with all that yucky, spray-on stuff! This works great and I also bought the MR-450 portable unit to use while working around the entire yard, but mostly in the back, where there seems to be a mosquito hatchery!! Highly recommend and the light scent not only is more than bearable, but gives an unobtrusive reminder that it's hard at work!

I had to take the first unit back for a replacement. First one would only stay on for about a second or two, I could still hear the gas but the light would extinguish almost right away. The new unit was placed on the patio for about a half hour and when we came out the light was off. It took quite a few tries before the light would come on, this time I left the top off and it seemed to stay on. We'll see if it keeps the mosquitoes away. So I'm not sure yet.

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.

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 was sent this by a company to test. I was so delighted because I just moved to Florida and I really have been battling mosquitoes being I don't Have a screen door at this time . I put it outside on my porch and I like the fact that it's very quiet. The instruction diagrams were very easy To follow. I like it you don't have to plug it in or use a flame. I will definitely be purchasing more of theperiod I like that it came in different colors when I looked in the website.

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!
