Thermacell Mosquito Repeller Patio Shield; Includes 12-Hour Refill; 15 Foot Zone of Protection; Highly Effective Mosquito Repellent for Patio; Bug Spray Alternative; Scent Free

Thermacell Fuel Zone Guard Base works great on my camp, especially when I am fishing from my deck. Our house is over the water, so mosquitos there most of the time and that is my pain. I have tried many different things to keep mosquitos away from me, but nothing works as good as Thermacell mosquito repellent. It's very easy to use. It comes with fuel cartridge and three repellent mats, so it can be used right away. It covers about 15 ft area, has no smell, and not harmful for people and pets. Now I fill safe and can enjoy my fishing!

I live in Florida. This is the only product that actually keeps the bugs away. I've tried everything - most do not stand up to the sheer volume of mosquitos we have here. Especially when I head out camping! This does the job every time. It needs a little bit of forethought to make sure you get it up and running a few minutes before you need it. But I love being able to sit on my porch again, or by my tent again.

As a dude from Florida I can walk on my back porch and find 50+ mosquitos just looking at my outdoor table from the door. This does work well, but it is extremely expensive, you have to let the product sit for a while before you notice a difference and at the price of gas and mosquito pads that only last 12hrs for the gas and 4hrs per pad I could see this getting expensive. If you can afford it; it definitely works better than mosquito candles, but paired with mosquito candles it’s a beast, especially after sometime to pollute the air. WIND PLAYS A HUGE ROLE. Lately it’s been humid and extremely still in Florida so this product is working well, if it gets windy it wouldn’t be as affective because the scent and smoke would be pushed away from your radius.

my dog chewed on this the day after I got it. It was not on and he just broke somee of the plastic tabs and it still functions! It lights really easily, about two clicks and keeps the area but free. This is the 3rd thermacell I have bought and have really liked each one. I love that you can tuck extra refills up underneath so its super portable.

This Thermocell Mosquito repellant is the perfect portable must have for your outdoor plans. It's size is compact but packs are punch when repelling those pesky blood sucking insects. Setup is a breeze. It included the unit, 3 repellant replacement mats, and 1 fuel cartridge. The mat slides right in the top, and the fuel cartridge screws in the bottom. Give the base a turn to on, wait 5 seconds, and twist to start. If the orange glow is visible in the side view window you are good to go after 15 minutes. It was a perfect thing to use in the evening while sitting outside enjoying the calm before the storm moves in.

Firstly, it works really well. My only problem is that unlike the smaller personal unit, when you put a mat in this thing, it’s completely white in just an hour, and the mats are too expensive for that. I’m going to experiment with only cutting it on intermittently and see if I can still keep the mosquitoes away. They need to come up with a solution so it doesn’t burn through the mats so fast.

I have several of these units and can't say enough about how well they keep mosquitoes and gnats away. I do use 2 units for my 20 x 12 foot deck. Manufacturers always tend to over exaggerate the effective range on products like this. I use the half rule. If it says 15ft range I assume its going to be 7 maybe 9 feet which is why I use two units at the same time. If the bugs are really bad I sometimes add a 3rd unit but they do keep the bugs away. It's important to realize that you should turn these on and place them outside at least 15 minutes before you enter the area. This is actually what the Manufacturer suggests anyway. They do take time to heat up and for the vapor to start coming out of the units and to spread around the sitting area. As for the blue pads, I hear some complaints they turn white in less than 4 hours. Turning white doesnt mean its not working. The oil is still being emitted even when it turns completely white. In fact just having them in the sun and humidity will make them turn white but it still takes about 4 hours to exhaust the pad. One other thing to note is once you open the package the clock starts ticking. If you used it on day one for 2 hours and then don't use it for a couple days they will have dried out and no longer work and a new pad needs to be inserted. With that said its not the greatest if you just plan to sit out for an hour but they are still the best solution I have found. I ordered the rechargeable unit that uses a liquid cartridge instead of the pads to see if these are better for shorter usage times. I'll update this review once I try it. Update on Rechargeable version with the liquid cartridges... This is the way to go! Theybwork just as good as the butane models with the pads. They actually heat up faster too. When I'm done with them I turn them off and they are good to go even days later since the liquid doesn't evaporate from the wick. No pads pads or butane cartritges to deal with. When repellent cartridge is empty just drop a new one in. Couldnt be simpler. Note! The cartridge that comes with the unit is only partially filled, just like when you buy a new printer. The replacements are completely filled.

These really work. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, basically I live in a swamp, and they work perfectly. I put a couple of them outside when I were outside or I put them by the pool and they work wonderfully.
