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.

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.

A friend told me about the Thermacell when I told her I can hardly go outside in my garden anymore. I am such a mosquito magnet! I was skeptical but ordered it because I'm willing to try anything. As soon as it arrived, I set it up out on the patio and went back inside for 10-15 minutes to allow it time to create my "dome of protection". I was able to sit out on my patio for 2 hours and came in completely unbitten. It was amazing! I've used it several times since with the same result. My sister just ordered one today after I told her about my experience. She can't wait for it to arrive!

I saw the patio shield advertised on sale a few months ago. I had never seen the product before, so I did some research. Despite the praising reviews, I was skeptical. Mosquitoes love me. Whenever I am outside during the summer, I inevitably get swarmed and end up with several bites that itch for days. But despite my skepticism, I decided to try the product since it was on sale. Using it for the first few times, I thought maybe we weren't having as many mosquitoes this season since we weren't getting "bugged". But then we took it to a party across from a park. Not a single mosquito bothered us the entire humid evening (until the propane ran out...oops!), then we noticed the mosquitoes immediately. I have yet to receive a bite while using this product. It definitely works and I have recommended it to anyone who will listen.

I was given the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent to try and review. I like the fact that it is compact and colorful. The instructions are detailed and simple. I live in Louisiana where mosquitoes are a constant problem all day. The Mosquito Repellent was placed in the middle of a table on my patio. After the device was started we waited 15 minutes as instructed. There were fewer mosquitoes present but I do not feel that the zone was 15 feet rather it was more like 10 feet. I like the fact that there is not any scent, quiet, and no smoke when using the device. Since it is the beginning of the season the 4-hour mat was sufficient but later into the summer the mat would have to be changed several times and the cartridge would have to be replaced more frequently. I looked up the price of the cartridge and mat and found that it is expensive. I might purchase another Thermacell Mosquito Repeller for when visitors come so that the whole area will be covered. I will also compare the prices for the cartridge and mat at other retailers. It does repel mosquitoes but I do not think anything can keep all of those Louisiana mosquitoes away.

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.

took it out to see if it would be better in a blind and it was great, normal thermacell has to be clipped on something to allow it to have space under it to breath but this 1 is just right for ground blind use so if I was in charge of advertisement I'd dang sure use a ground blind pic on the box because its not just a patio cell

I bought this about a week ago and have used it over the last couple of days for camping. It worked great the first day and a half and now it won’t stay lit. I’ve tried changing the tank and the mat but nothing seems to be working. Sometimes it will stay lit for a bit but it doesn’t last long

I bought this a couple months ago and thought that I'd take a chance - that it might end up with all my other ineffective repellents - in the trash - but was tired of being eaten alive by mosquitoes so it was worth a chance. I AM SO GLAD I DID! I carry this little bugger with me every where I go. I NEVER has mosquito bites when I use this. I just bought a huge pack of refills so I'm prepared for the rest of the season. I even sent one to a friend who complained she could not get any use of her patio because of mosquitoes. She was thrilled with it too.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I must say, I loved it. It was super easy to set up. Just insert the fuel package and place the matt. Twist the bottom till you see the red come on and you're all set. No scent, no foul smell, no need to spray anything and fear that it may get into your eyes, no stickiness at all. I love how portable it is. We can take it anywhere. I live in a very humid city where mosquitoes are always around. So this repellent sure does help when we are trying to have a bar be que or just hang out in our patio and relax. We love it and will continue using it.
