Just curious to what everyone is using for those Mosquitos either sitting up in their stands or down on the ground moving around? I personally have no idea besides the Therma cell on 3 rivers but that wouldnt seem to work if you were still hunting.

Sitting It's hard to beat a thermacell. Wally world has great prices on them as well!
Thermacell Rules! I used mine in Canada this year and when the bugs did get bad for me I watched them scatter when I turned it on!
thermacell 100% of the time nothing else compares

Thermacell, even when still hunting. If the wind is blowing too hard to make it effective, it's probably blowing hard enough to keep the bugs off of you. 90% of the time that is ;)
DITTO :readit: :D
The heavy frost we had last night usually does a pretty good job too.
We had 13 inches of rain last week so we are using Theracell here in the yard while we practice. We have found nothing that works as well.
Another vote for the Thermacell. Early season is buggy up here and I've been impressed with the ones I've tried. For you flyfishermen, try hanging one off of the D-ring on the back of your vest :thumbsup:
THERMACELL BABY!!
I'm just a blood donor :(

What LeRoy said. No one in bear camp with a Thermocel had any issues with mosquitos.
I have some friends who tried these LINK (http://www.bugpatch.net/?gclid=CKOps6zs344CFRqWGgodRj_bRA) and said they work great!
I am going to give them a try!

I use a thermacell if sitting but I usually need some stuff to wipe on too. Deet's the best but I don't like it getting on my bows. This stuff is like rub-on thermacell:

.50 BMG
But the local sheriff keeps following me...must be jealous, huh??
Well, I usually use a Thermacell, but with the drought in our part of Georgia, I've seen more deer than skeeters in my stands this year and haven't turned it on. Granted, haven't hunted any swamps, just creek bottoms with running water.
Thermacell all the way!!!!
I was wondering about them. They don't smell at all. Do the deer react to them any?
Thermacell until the first frost
Bug Off
100% natural no det and wont sppok game
kinda smells like freshly tappered cedar arrows as one of the ingredients is P.O.C. oil.
Wouldnt go into the woods without my thermacell, best $25 you will spend.
sounds like i'll be makin that trip to wally world.
as of last year I used scent shield's "no stinkin bugs"
In Wisconsin there is a 35# minimum on bow weight for skeeters. Also, you need steel broadheads that are sharp. I recommend the new altered Grizzly's so you get better penetration.

Thermacell and peramone on clothing (night before and let dry) for those little chigger critters that eat your ankles.

I take 200 mg of B1. Hap
T-Cell
Off
I tried the vitamin B1 and took a bigger dose than 200 mg. The skeeters still tried to devour me. I've had nothing but good results with my Thermacell.

I like to stalk to my stands and the bugs are just horrendous right now. Fire up the Thermacell in the vehicle, attach it to the top of my daypack, and then I hike in to the stand with little if any interference from the bugs. Would think that would be similar to still-hunting, and actually the slower you go, the better this would work.
I can't believe how many otherwise intelligent people still refuse to part with $25 for the Thermacell. It would be worth three times that money in my book (because I hunt the early season hard). I know a brother and a good hunting buddy who were both too proud/tough/macho to buy it, and finally broke down and both admit it was stupid of them not to have purchased it long ago.
Problem is I went in to Wally-World and Menards to get a refill pack and the first is out (and he couldn't understand why so many folks wanted them in Sept.) and the second place stopped carrying it because it was past the season. Guess I'll have to make a trip into the big city.
A guy saw my THERMACELL the other day and asked me if those things realy work. I told him only when it is on and your are in a area that has mosquitos. T-Cell all the way doing anything outdoors.
I'll sell my kids before my Thermacell.Well probably not but I'd have to think about it. If they can work in the swamps and glades of Florida they'll work anywhere. And you will know when it runs out of fuel. A little flock of 'skeets will come whisper in your ear. Carry the refills
Anyone have any concerns about inhaling the fumes from the Thermacell? There is a warning on the package about not inhaling or using in an enclosed area (such as a blind?) The pads do contain Deet. Hate to be negative about a product that works so well.
I got a bunch of refills on sale at a grocery store last year: 75% off!! :D
