    Deet Free and actually works!

    This is fantastic! Not just because it was on sale, but because it is bug repellent and creates a nice shield to remove bugs from around you! Love most of all that it is deet free, but that it can still get the bugs away!

    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!

    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!

    loved it, but stopped working quickly

    I bought 3 of those last year. We loved them as they allowed us to stay outside without being biten. They were very efficient. Unfortunaly, they all stopped working and won't "click" on.

    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!
