ThermaCell Insect Repeller

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but..........

I bought one of those ThermaCell jobs at K-Mart for 20 bucks and figured what the heck. It was the white one, they didn't have the camo version.

Well I've tried it out and in some pretty tough conditions. After dark below the Ross Barnett dam on the mighty Pearl River.

I'm impressed. To say the very least. Usually at night fall you can look up and see bugs everywhere. We, Bubba and Me, cranked this thing up. Follow the instructions, really read them! The Mosquitoes left. The little pads last only about 4 hours and when they go white change them out. The butane is supposed to last 12 hours. Re-fills are 5 bucks for a new butane cell and 3 pads.

But it really worked. I will have to get another one for the boat, because it just isn't enough with one. It says in the instructions that it covers a 15 foot area, but on the water with a breeze don't count on that. So this is something that works almost as good as advertised. You can also purchase a belt holder for it. I figure with two I'll keep one up front with me and Bubba can keep one back with him. So I'll have to get a few more re-fills.

Don't get me wrong.... You still will have the occasional Kamikaze mosquito get through, but for the most part you can enjoy fishing, at night, on your favorite body of water, if you use this thing.

If anyone else has any other observations let me know.

Oh.......izzy, I've seen no roaches either. Not sure if it works on spiders, you might have to research that out.:D
