Quote History Quoted:
But it most defiantly works. Most of the guys I hunt with won't hunt without it. In fact last spring a buddy forgot his and he went home to get it. Of course we were hunting some thick areas but without it some days wouldn't be even bearable.

Last year we had an extremely wet spring and early summer. We were new to this area but people who lived here all their lives said it was just about the worst for bugs AND we basically live in the middle of thousands of acres of bog and swamp with river and creek bottoms. Anywhere we went in the county, we noticed they had less bugs then we did at our home. In addition we had hundreds of bats that summer here by the garage. No bats and I am not sure how bad it would have been. Compared to my days living in North Dakota and Minnesota, this was the worst I had ever seen, even with our bats.
Spoke to some Professional loggers who were wearing them daily in the forests so they could work and they loved them. We tried them and even in the wind they worked. If the bugs could navigate the wind, the Thermacells worked if placed properly. I wore one through October on my day packs when hunting, building duck blinds back in the bogs or cutting wood. Took one in the kayak when I fished the bogs or slack water areas.
Permethrin, bats and yellow lights.
Permethrin will kill your cats but it works great on dogs that can tolerate it. I switched the dog over to Vectra 3D.
I say, if you cant do math you probably cant survive. Buy 10% Peremthrin, cut it down to any percentage you want, use it once or twice and you break even. Use it all and you are up $100-$200.
Thermacells are a gift to yourself and if you want, you can even refill the butane cartridges. Google it.
