Live in the swamp and nothin' is working.
Mosquito control says costs $50,000 a night to spray and they cannot jam me up wit the Dibrom insecticide often enough to to do any good at all. So everytime they do spray it is like blowing $50,000 at the casino. County needs to disband Mosquito control and put that money into median beautification for the snowbirds. Sidewalk crack repair could use a little extra bucks so the joggers don't trip. Screw yer little electric buzzers and screw a bunch of spray cans. |

Yeah refilling is easy. I do it all the time. Now as far as the pads. I haven't figured that out yet. But yeah the butane bottles are easy to refill if you know how. My Thermacel was effective last Sunday at Picayune Strand and Fakahatchee. Kept all the mosquitoes out of my truck

Looks like you can pull out the little valve inside the butane bottle and then fill it with a butane refill can. Search YouTube for the step-by-step. Looks easy and pretty practical. After finding out in this thread that you can refill the butane cartridges, I gave it a shot. Got the anti-refill valve out and reinstalled the main valve, but the butane I use for my cigar lighters doesn't seem to have the correct adapter on it. The butane leaks out all around the nozzle when I try to refill it. Has anyone here found a brand of butane that properly fits the Thermacell cartridges to refill them? |
