preacherman Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Took one of these dove hunting with me this morning and it works! Without a doubt, one of the best inventions made lately. I was very skeptical, but I put it out where Mosquito's have been buzzing like crazy and within minutes they were all gone. Would recommend one to everyone.

snapper Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent Yeah I was a little skeptical myself...one evening my buddy and his son were going fishing at the lake for a few hours and asked me to join them. I wore jeans and a t-shirt and we were there until 1am and I never got bit by anything. At one point the butane was empty and I noticed the bugs were getting a little worse...he changed the fuel and fired it back up....nothing after that. It really did work!

popgun Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent I have heard a lot of good things about Thermacell, but haven't tried it yet. I found them at Wally-World but the price was 24.97 + 5.97 for extra pads and gas cylinder, and I think it was 8.97 for the holster. Maybe next season but for this season I'll stick with my .97 mosquito net. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent This is the first I've heard of it but I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent I have heard nothing but great things too ....BUT, according to the directions, the refills are very expensive and they are only good for about 3 hours.

tallone Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent The refills come with a one butane bottle and three pads. The bottle lasts around twelve hours and the pads are good for two to three hours a piece all for around $6. If you are hunting and are getting tore up by the bugs and someone says give me a couple of bucks and I'll keep them away I would gladly hand them the money. They work great as long as you don't have much wind. We have a lot of those no see um's the little knats that must be two wings and a giant fang. They are hard to see but you know when you've been bit because your scratching the spot for an hour. It works great for them! They are now selling a larger pack that comes with 4 bottles and twelve pads for around $20 Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Re: Thermacell Insect Repellent I agree they are awesome. I've only had to use it once while I was hunting. Then I turned it on the other night while I was field dressing the doe I killed. It'll be well worth the money even if I only use it once a year.
