Indispensable for mosquitoes!! Makes for an enjoyable hunt when you would otherwise be chased outta da woods. You wont beleive how well they work till you buy one. The one downside is that the windier it gets the less effective they are.

Works great in a ground blind. But in the open and windy not so much..

I've used one for hunting and for camping too. It's amazing how well they work! :)

I got mine for the first time last year. It is well worth the price, and as far as I can tell it has not spooked game. I like it enough I bought some for Christmas gifts. Get it, you won,t leave home w/o it :D

Love Mine, use it mainly in our enclosed blinds. Watch the bugs come near the windows and turn away.

I cant say enough about these and how well they work. I used it for the first time this year during turkey season.

I had been out one morning in my ground blind and it wasnt a very pleasant hunt as the little buggers (skitters) were swarming me. I was talking with RJ that day and he loaned me one of his. The next morning I set up in the same place and didnt even see one inside the blind.

I was so impressed that I went out and bought 2 of them.

Just my opinion from up here in the cheap seats.

I used one for the first time last year and it worked perfect the times I could go hunting. Wouldn't go without one.

We have a few, some for hunting, a mini one and a table top model. One of the best inventions yet for hunting!
However.. This summer we were at Long point beach on lake Erie, camping and the mosquitoes there did not care about the presence of our Thermacell, they were actually landing on it. (they also landed on arms that were soaked in 100% deet.

I did find a way to refill the bottles, and made a post here about it but can't find it. A member here copied my post and put it on another forum, here is a link if your interested:
