Thermacell ?????

[Terry Green]

I haven't noticed any difference in effectiveness.

One of the great things in the South, rivals
conditioned air.
I have had refills kits several years before using
and the pads seem to work just fine.
Be careful not to drop or hit the unit when the filament is red hot, or you may have to get a new unit. (Yep, have done that).

[Dutchman]

Both of mine still work fine and I'm glad they do.

Now, just don't ask why I have two...

[Brian Krebs]

I am using just the picture of one - and NO mosquitos !!! Of course it was 21 degrees last night; and there is snow on the ground....

I do not get how repellant on a pad is not detected by game: when the mosquitos smell it? How does that work?

[waknstak IL]

Brian, I can smell it myself but it sure doesn't seem to spook deer and it does seem to spook skeeters. LOL

[Dave Bulla]

Picked one up at Cabellas yesterday for $21.99 (just under a buck less than Walmart)

Have not used it yet though.

[Broken Arrow 1]

Mine works great. Has anyone ever had any odor come from theirs?

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Yes he odor is normall.....it actually gives me a headache if I inhale it too long while sitting. It doesnt bother me if I am moving though.

I got a new unit...that was the problem.  The last one stopped getting hot enough to effectively heat up the pad.  I guess they wear out in time.  Having it last 3 seasons makes it one of the best investments ever.  I have a hunting buddy who has used his much longer and it is still going strong.
