I have been using the halo version of the Thermacell product for a couple years. It works great and as advertised. This year when I decided it as time to start using it again so I loaded it with four new fuel cartridges and new batteries. The unit halo light would not come on. I thought the unit was failing but I tried it again anyway. It still works but the halo light will not come on. I use the light as a reminder to turn it off. Is there anything I can do to correct the halo light?

First day I ran it for over an hour and the mosquitos were still awful but it was a little breezy so I thought maybe that’s why it didn’t work. Tried it again on a calm day-it again ran for over an hour and the mosquitoes were still landing on us and even the machine itself.

I've always been a "mosquito magnet" and when bit I get welts! Well not anymore thanks to the Patio Repeller! My property is in the woods, with a natural stream running through we have tons of mosquito making it miserable to enjoy sitting outside that is until now using this wonderful little product always me to sit out on my deck without one mosquito bite! I do prefer this product over the Radius Zone Mosquito Repellent - Gen 2.0 for me this worked better than the zone

I bought this with extra pads and butane thinking yes finally mosquito free. We started it up 45 minutes before we got outside by my fire chat and within 10 minutes we both had gotten bit more than once. It is now cold so I don’t think I will have another’s chance to try it so I don’t know if I should keep it or return it. I want it so badly to work and my uncle has one and it works great

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.

I live in Florida around tons of fresh water, meaning lots of mosquitoes! I used this patio shield on the outside table while we had an outside dinner and it worked well for the immediate area around the area. I did find the protection seemed to go up and not all around and had to place one on the ground to cover our legs. 15 ft of coverage seemed more like 10 but still worth it. Not having to use a smelly citronella was great. These did not put off an odor.

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 was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked.We put it in our backyard on our deck and the kids were outside on the swing set and the adults were just sitting down by the fire pit talking. And normally we have a lot of problems with the mosquitoes due to living in South Georgia with lots of lakes around us. And we did not have issues with mosquitoes at all. My grandson and I are both mosquito magnets and get a lot of bites when we are outside but using the thermocell has definitely helped us to not be eaten up. I am thankful that we were able to use this without having to spray harmful chemicals on our body.

I live in rural Mississippi and as you can imagine, we need the best repellents out there. I have been trying this out on my good sized porch for about 2 weeks now. Although it is not full blown mosquito time, it has done a beautiful job with keeping the ones that are out away. I cant wait to see what this thing is made of when you cant fight those darn things off of ya. It was easy to use and not an eye sore. I will be getting back with yall when I know a little bit more. I would recommend this for sure, for now :)

We recently were given a Thermacell Patio Shield and we immediately tried it out on our patio from 6PM to almost midnight! There were 5 people hanging out around it and no one was bothered by mosquitos! We can see from the pad that we have more time left to use it before it turns all white. We are very impressed and happy with this device. We were unaware prior to getting this that our friends up in Northern Maine swear by their Thermacell for all their outdoor summer activities! Don't hesitate to purchase one and give it a try!
