Fuel-ZoneGuard Base Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller, Glacial Blue

I tried a lot of things to solve the mosquito problem on our patio, but this is the first one that actually worked, eliminating the "no-see-um" mosquitoes that have tormented me. I turn it on each morning while making coffee, then go out with the dog and set it on the floor at my feet, and enjoy God's beautiful creation. My legs used to be covered in bites, but no more. It has worked flawlessly for 4 years. It just stopped working so I called the company with the details and they said I did everything right and so they are sending me a replacement. I was blown away. It's 4 years old! Now that's great customer service. Highly recommended for anyone living in mosquito country.

I really like the Thermacell Fuel-ZoneGuard Base Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller. My yard is absolutely infested with mosquitoes, and this is honestly the only thing I’ve found that makes a noticeable difference. It’s very effective at creating a comfortable area where I can actually enjoy being outside without constantly getting attacked by mosquitoes. I also love that it’s scent-free, because there’s no strong or unpleasant smell like you get with some bug sprays or repellents. It’s easy to use, provides great coverage, and has made spending time in my yard so much more enjoyable. If you’re dealing with a serious mosquito problem and want an alternative to spraying yourself with bug repellent, I definitely recommend giving this a try. It has been a game changer for my outdoor space!

I was actually pretty impressed with how fast this started working and how much it helped keep the mosquitoes away around the patio. It was easy to set up, and we definately noticed fewer bugs after a short time. It works well for just hanging outside at dusk without getting eaten alive. The only real downside is that the replacement refills are kind of pricey and can get expensive if you use it a lot. Overall though, I'm happy with it and would still recommend it for outdoor use.

Be aware, the manufacturer has cheapened the product by NO LONGER SUPPLYING THE WEATHERPROOF CAP. The device is the same and works fine but now you can't leave it out on the deck. Photo shows my old orange one and the new blue one with the extra old orange cap I saved from the one I tossed. It still fits but looks like crap. Honestly, what could this cap cost? A few pennies saved for the maker, a constant pain for the user.

The good news is that the thing really works well with mosquitoes. Two things not so hot. I didn't time it specifically, but while the liquid tank mounted in the bottom lasts for a good while, the insert at the top doesn't, and in any case I don't think the protection lasts as long as advertised. Meanwhile mine stopped working after about ten uses this summer. It's cheap so I'm going to buy a new one and hope for better.

We used these for an outdoor party and kept them in an open patio area. There were a lot of people there and no one complained about getting bit. A lot of people said they were going to buy one. I think there are fantastic, however they do not work so well in a wide open area, because the product can be moved by the wind. Keep your expectations real.

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.

I bought this because my dad has them for when we go to the lake in Oklahoma. He uses them in the Denver area other times and overall they seem to repel well. We usually put two out to get full coverage. However. I live in the mountains, about 2000ft higher than Denver and it would not work at that altitude. I don’t know what altitude it stops at exactly but it works at 5000 feet and doesn’t at 7200. Could be I got a messed up cartridge but I also think it’s likely the altitude is messing things up. Just be aware!

Amazing, it’s easy to use and works very well.
