If citronella candles and other old-fashioned methods for keeping mosquitoes away just aren’t working for you, fire up the ThermaCELL Portable repellent and enjoy your next outing in bug-free peace. A butane cartridge heats a chemically treated repellent mat that keeps mosquitoes out of a 225-sq.-ft. area for up to 12 hours. Fully cordless and portable and requires no messy wax. Imported.
This ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent is not designed to run at altitudes above 4,500 feet. The manufacturer states that units become difficult to start and run at altitudes above 4,500 feet above sea level.

I used this on a scout outing in a river flood plain following a wet week of rain. Mosquitos everywhere. The TermaCell created a envelope that the bugs left immediately.
Thermacell works pretty well for mosquitoes, but does not work at all here for deer flies, and some persistent mosquitoes still seem to find their way. Great for turkey season, just ok for deer season.
