Thermacell Patio Shield Outdoor Mosquito Control System - Copper

Works wonders

I’m highly susceptible to bug bites, esp mosquitos, and typically have to limit my outdoor time and use strong bug sprays. We bought this prior to camping in a wooded area. I did not need sprays and ended up with one bite!! It’s amazing. We purchased the non rechargeable option for our camping trip and will be looking for a rechargeable option for home/daily use. I strongly recommend trying this device.

Don't waste your money

I bought one for my porch, as I like to sit outside in the evenings and relax. The mosquitoes are horrible where I live and thought this would be a good choice, as Off! stopped making their best mosquitoe repellent. Boy was i wrong!! I've had a week and the mosquitoes are still biting me. Don't waste your money!

Easy to Setup

I was given the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent to try and review. I like the fact that it is compact and colorful. The instructions are detailed and simple. I live in Louisiana where mosquitoes are a constant problem all day. The Mosquito Repellent was placed in the middle of a table on my patio. After the device was started we waited 15 minutes as instructed. There were fewer mosquitoes present but I do not feel that the zone was 15 feet rather it was more like 10 feet. I like the fact that ...

Good feature set, but didn't repel mosquitos.

Disclosure: Thermacell sent this product to me in return for an honest review. I paid for shipping. Otherwise, I received what looked to be a retail boxed product. The short: Overall, the new Patio Shield had a lot of thought put into the industrial design. Unfortunately, the mosquito repellency did not work for me here in Austin, Texas. Ultimately, that's what matters for a mosquito repeller. The long: I own the MR150 portable repeller from Thermacell. I've tried using it during hunti...

Hard to light/won't stay lit

I bought this product to use on my patio. I thought it looked nice, pleasing color and shape, unobtrusive, and not messy. After unpacking, I read through the instructions and thought, seems easy to use. Screwed in the fuel canister, turned it on, clicked 3 times and nothing. I tried again, nothing. Turned it off, waited a bit then tried again. Clicked what seemed like forever and finally I saw a glow in the sight glass. After about 3 minutes I noticed there was no glow. Started over trying to...

I'm getting another this baby works so well

Fire pit, right next to marsh. Cat tails and beaver hut in sight. I tested it. It worked. It worked impressively in my humble opinion. I've been in that area with nothing and was lighter due to the amount of blood I had removed by them pesky critters. I've been able to sit there for hours with no spray and never so much as a swat from my hand. If it's windy enough to keep the bugs away, don't light it. If the bugs will be looking for you, light er up. I turn mine on right away, before I even lo...

It Really Works!!!!!!

I am camping in a Provincial park in Canada for 5 months. I have allergies to scents and didn’t want to put nasty chemicals like deet on my skin,so I suffered the mosquitos from May to the 2nd week in June. The mosquitos became more ravenous and seemed to get bigger in size, so I not a got a Thermacell. I can now bbq, relax, eat and drink outside without constantly swatting the mosquitos. It starting working within 5 minutes of starting it and there was not one mosquito on my patio. I love this...

3rd times A Charm?

I was was really excited to give this a try(The 15ft zone) so that my youngest would be able to enjoy outside without getting but up as he is a bit allergic to mosquitoes and can't really enjoy without getting sprayed down, but It honestly did not work. Once we sat it nice and high, made sure it was lit and staying on and waited to see if it would work we did notice a slight decrease in them but they were still pretty much biting us and we were hoping for a mosquitoe free zone, we've only been a...

NO!!

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!

Great coverage

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked.We put it in our backyard on our deck and the kids were outside on the swing set and the adults were just sitting down by the fire pit talking. And normally we have a lot of problems with the mosquitoes due to living in South Georgia with lots of lakes around us. And we did not have issues with mosquitoes at all. My grandson and I are both mosquito magnets and get a lot of bites when we are outside but using the thermocell has definitely helped...
