ThermacellPatio Shield Mosquito Repeller; Highly Effective Mosquito Repellent for Patio; No Candles or Flames, DEET-Free, Scent-Free, Bug Spray Alternative; Includes 12-Hour Refill

I live in PA, in a very rural area, so mosquitoes tend to make the most of both the short bug season and the fact that I’m the only restaurant in town. I am an all-you-can-eat buffet for them, complete with a giant “EAT AT JOE’S” neon sign over my head. Those little suckers have chewed their way through bug sprays, essential oils, and holy water. So I took a chance on the Thermacell after reading the reviews, figuring I’ve wasted $20 on dumber things if it didn’t work out.This is my new best friend.I start it at dusk, and within 10-15 minutes it’s like I’m in my own hamster ball of bug protection!I enjoy reading on the porch at night, and generally have bugs making their evening pilgrimage to the light of my Kindle.I am now left in peace and solitude. No bites, no little green hoppy bugs on my screen, no flies, not even the occasional crunchy June bug smacking into me! It. Is. Bliss.Thermacell is simple to set up and turn on. There is no smell or noise, just the pure bug-free enjoyment of my space. As light and compact as the unit is, it’s nothing to pop it into my bag when I want to take the show on the road.If you have any doubts, lay them to rest. This product is amazing! It works so well I’m considering including these as an add-on to gifts!

Great price! I will definitely purchase this off of Amazon again because they were great.

The best result of Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller if it's located very close to place where you are sitting. Within the 8'-9'appart it doesn't work.

Nice!

Overall, wouldn’t recommend this. Purchased for my (small) patio and at first it seemed to work well. Did not experience any smell and the mosquitos left me alone (I’m one of those people who usually gets eaten alive). After the first week or so of using it for maybe 20 mins a day, I noticed it wasn’t as effective so I swapped out the little thing that goes on top under the grill. A week or so later and had the same issue of it no longer working well and now it has a funky smell. So I switched over to a heavy duty cintronella candle and haven’t used this since.

Works good to keep off the mosquitos where I live. Kind of expensive along with the replacements, but beats getting eaten up.

I would never have ordered this item had I known two things:1) the item is only for one day or 12 hrs.2) this item cannot be returned.I don't want something that is expensive to used regardless of how effective it is. I didn't even open the box and attempted to return it. I understand clearly now: this is not returnable!!! Not happy about it. Do not care whether or not it works. I don't want it. Do not buy it unless you have $25 a day to throw away. I do not! Hence the One star review. I would like to give it zero stars because the customer service is poor. No returns? Who can afford to do that these days?

Husband gets eaten alive when outside - can't enjoy a meal or conversation camping or on deck. Gave this a long shot - wow! So surprised! Took it camping, could visibly see mosquitoes around, set it up at on our picnic table and was able to enjoy a meal without one bite from mosquito! We e en stayed outside reading until dark. Not a one. Crazy! Thank you! Love the size and portability! Not a smell or sound. Great value for money.
