I just got back from the beer store... In the time it took me to go into the store, pay for my 12'er and get back to my truck... 2-3 minutes tops!! My truck was covered with the lil' blood suckers!! I had to swish them off the door so I could get in!!

Just picked up a thermocell at Gander, and they were on sale. I picked up the earth flavor, thinking I'd use it for bow hunting too. Hope to be pass shooting sky carp this weekend, so I should have a review on how well it repels.

But bills came first and left me busted.

I have a Thermacell I got at Fleet Farm. I tried it once when fishing along a shore. I didn't have a holder for it, so I had it halfway in my pocket. It worked pretty well. Wind is a real factor. If it's really windy(3-4 mph or more) it won't work that well. The directions say it allow a half hour to take full effect. The day I got it I brought it out at dusk, brought it to a spot where I knew there were skeeters and was eaten alive while waiting for it to warm up.

Worked OK sitting around the fire, but as you mentioned, wind was a big factor. Was awesome for putting in the tent vestibule before bed so we didn't have to worry about skeeters coming in with us, though. |

Well I'd have to give the thermocell a +1. It does work. If you understand the limitations, you won't be disappointed. Used it in the garage and it
worked great. I used it in the garden, and it helped, but I had to try to play the wind. |
