Description
For the backyard and beyond, Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller is easy to use and provides hours of scent-free, no mess defense against mosquitoes. With no batteries or cords needed, the Patio Shield is convenient, portable protection against mosquito bites, ideal for entertaining, gardening, poolside, and more. The Patio Shield features a 15-foot mosquito repellent zone powered by a safe and compact 12-hour fuel cartridge that emits scent-free mosquito repellent to drive away mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are no small problem - they can ruin a good time with painful bites, bothersome buzzing, and days of itching afterward. Until now, DEET bug sprays, lotions, torches, and citronella have been the only options for fighting mosquitoes. We started Thermacell because we wanted a better way to fight mosquitoes. From humble beginnings, our team of entomologists, researchers, and outdoor enthusiasts has over 100 years of combined experience repelling mosquitoes, and for 20 years our mission at Thermacell has been to change the way the world fights mosquitoes. Headquartered outside of Boston, with distribution centers in Georgia, we're leading the way with better solutions to biting insects. With global distribution in 30+ countries and tens of millions of insect repellents sold, more and more people around the world count on Thermacell to make outdoor activities even better.

Does NOT work. Bought it because there were so many good reviews and everything was functioning correctly but mosquitos were landing directly on it. Would be nice if it did work as it’d be a wonder product but it does not.

I recieved this product to try and I love it. We tried it this past weekend while our dogs played in the yard and we did not get bite. We saw some flying in the yard, but they did not reach us in the patio area. I will be taking this whenever we go on hikes, to the park, and anywhere else where we may get bite. I highly recommend.
Enjoy the outdoors!

I always have an issue with mosquito's durring the spring/summer so i'm always looking for a way to combat them. I had never tried Thermacell but saw a camping youtuber I watch recommend them and I have to say this is the best repellar i've ever used. It works great. I can sit on my patio and not have to worry about getting a single bite the entire time. I love that it's fuel powered and not battery so it's always ready to use.
Must have for summer!

The mosquito repellent works well, I turned it on nearby and I did not feel mosquitoes or other small insects near me. It is a bit difficult to know when it is lit because the flame is not visible if it is daylight, but it can be done.
Works Well

Thermocell worked well. It was easy to change out the pads also. However, I found getting it started a little difficult. I also, found I forgot to turn it off each time I used it. I went through the 3 batteries that came with it before I went through the repellant. If these two issues were fixed, I would definetly buy this product again. I was given a sample of this product for my honest and unbiased opinion.
What a Awesome Repellent.

This is by far the best Repellent I have ever used. Although it seems small in stature, it packs a HUGE punch against mosquitoes. It can easily be hidden in a yard where there is a gathering happening along with not being in the way at a camp sight. I will definately use this product all year round and im very excited at how well it works.

One of the standout features of the Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller is its compact and lightweight design. This makes it easy to transport and set up, and it won't take up too much space on your patio or deck. The device is powered by a butane cartridge, which heats up a repellent mat to create a scent that mosquitos find unpleasant. This scent is not noticeable to humans and does not produce any smoke or odors.

I first tried thermacell products along with insect spray when I was pregnant because the thought of Zika absolutely scared me! Now that baby is here I tried just using this Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller on a table near where I was working and it worked without any spraying down! Now I put this Patio Shield where ever I am working with the playpen or wagon with baby right next to it and since the Thermacell has a 15' protection range the baby and I are both protected from mosquitoes! Absolutely love and reccoment this product to everyone I know!

first of all, the item works! mosquitos left us alone the entire we were using the device in our extremely wooded backyard patio. we were a little concerned to be breathing in the chemicals that were visibly emitted as the repellant pad burned. overall, we will continue using this device as the pros outweigh the immediate cons.

I could not go outside in the spring/summer here in the south without my Thermacell. Everyone is always crowding around me so they can be in my "zone" because I'm the only one not getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Easy to use, highly efficient!

I wasn't even aware these were a thing. I love there's no sprays or horrible scents involved. It has a natural repellent and best of all it's pet friendly. I like sitting on my porch at night and this helps keep those pest away.

I already knew about Thermacell Portable Repellent and was impressed. So i bought several of the Patio Thetmacells for my mother's 81st birthday party. Everyone was so astonished how there were no insects flying around, no mosquitoes nor flies. This is one awesome device and I feel blessed to have them. I have been recommending your products to everyone i know. Now i can sit outside in the evening unafraid of getting bit ot aick. Keep up the excellent work.
