Sounds like the consensus is that they are great just as long as the breeze is slower than the skeeters.


I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

Just be sure to have it on the upwind side of you if there is a breeze, and if there's much of a breeze the bugs shouldn't be bad. I've used mine from here to the Canadian border and it's a God send for me.

I had a whole thread on this a while back wondering what was wrong with my thermacell.

Bought several packs of the pads for it, several butane thingies...I can sit on my back porch and be covered in bugs, turn it on and yes after fifteen mins or so there are fewer biting me, but lots swarming and they still bite. It can be dead still, and the thing is running under my seat, in my lap, on the table in font of me....it is working fine. Making heat, and apparently smells like it should

Not sure, but early june at my place I can look outside and see 25 mosquitoes at any given time trying to get in a closed window. Getting to the car without getting bit is a challenge some days.

Also, it is completely useless on blackflies, but thats not what it was designed for.

Wolfie, I used a few of them in the swamps of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. They’re worth their weight in gold and I have about 30 friends that will day the same. They work while you’re sitting still. Like in a tree stand.

I pick a lot of wild berries and hang it in the bush or tree close to where I'm picking and the mosquitoes are gone. I walk about 20 feet from the unit and get eaten alive. You can see the swarms of them and they stay outside of that 15 foot area from where the unit is at.

ThermaCells work fantastic in the wooda and swamps of WI. Work best while stationary, with low wind. Take a few minutes to get up to temp, then they're great. Highly recommended.
