Works well for my needs
I like to sit out back on the patio for my morning coffee and quiet time. This device has worked well. The directions say to let it warm up & work for 15 minutes however several mornings I just had it on for 5-7 minutes and it worked ok for the immediate area I sit in.

Ineffective on humidity days
Very expensive and no more effective than the coils. I even wonder if it attracts mosquitoes. Fifteen minutes retreating the area didn't seem to deter the mosquitoes. On high humidity days, it's as if the humidity neutralizes the chemicals and mosquitoes aren't affected. For less expense, I now use mosquito coils which seem more effective.

Summer Necessity
I’ve used the personal Thermacell for years. With my child now being mobile and wanting to play outside this summer, I needed something to better fit our needs. The Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller does the job! We start it up right before heading outside and it helps keep our patio area mosquito-free while my baby plays outside!

Aawesome!
Works like a charm! Love that it’s compact, making it totally portable to take on picnics or camping. The additional slots on the bottom to carry extra blue pads are great.

We bought this hoping it would help with the mosquitos but it DOES NOT. It repels NOTHING! We bought the thermacell along with a box of refills and it was definitely a WASTE OF MONEY! Will NEVER recommend this product to anyone!

#1 summer product
This is one my favorite summer products. I am someone who always gets bit by mosquitoes even if everyone else around me doesn’t. Instead of regular small bumps I also have a weird exaggerated reaction to mosquito bites that is absolutely awful, I spent years avoiding going outside at night. This is the absolute best way to avoid being bit and not have to constantly put smelly or oily bug spray on. Finally able to enjoy being on the deck at night!!! It even kept mosquitoes away on our lake trip. 100% worth it if you’re the only always covered in bug bites. I own 3 and always have refills on me. The refills can go quick, but it’s worth the price. My extended family now owns these too just for my sake of not being bit up when visiting. Give this a try!! I’ll be buying more for next summer!

It's simple...
Simply use one for a couple of evenings, and then DON'T use it once. You'll believe then.... Believe me (us, them, y'all,)!!

Bye bye mosquitos
After purchasing various types of Mosquito repellents, I finally found this Patio Shield from Thermacell . Easy to follow instructions so once I set it up outdoors and wait approximately 15 minutes. The mosquitoes disappeared. I noticed it works better on less windy days. I use it near pool on patio while barbecuing and at the park. It’s worth it!

Better than deet. Not 100%
Works ok. Still getting bites but not as many? Not even that breezy. And I feel like I can taste the chemical but it’s better than when I spray myself with bug spay - I feel like I always breath it in no matter how hard I try.
