Time in the field no longer has to include swatting bugs or messing with smelly sprays, greasy lotions or cumbersome netting. ThermaCELL®, the unique butane-operated mosquito repellent system, is the perfect hunting companion—small, portable and highly-effective, and it fits nicely into a pack or vest pocket.

ThermaCELL creates an odorless 15 x 15-foot comfort zone, which offers up to 98% effective protection against mosquitoes and other biting insects. With the click of a button, ThermaCELL is on and repelling insects. The complete comfort zone is created in under 10 minutes.

On Target- I don't know about you but I hate nagging mosquitoes and those little tiny black biting flies. Nothing ruins a hunt more than to have those suckers flying in your eyes or ears while your trying to be still. When I first heard of the ThermaCell system I was a little skeptical because of several reasons; I thought there had to be an odor, what's one going to cost, and that's all I need is one more thing to add to my hunting arsenal. Well, I was surprised all around. I won't go spring bear hunting or turkey hunting without one. They work and I think you'll be surprised too. Next time you have one of those afternoon spring cookouts I suggest you set a ThermaCell system on your picnic table.

Off Target- While trying to pick this unit apart and find one thing that stuck out was stressful. I mean trying to find something wrong with a device that detours mosquitoes just feels wrong. I have come down to this. If your like me you probably carry to much in the woods anyway, what's one more thing going to matter, right? OK, then you won't have a problem strapping this unit that measures 7.5″x3″x1.5x at the top and 7.5″x1.5″x1.5″ at the bottom to your hip. That's all I'm saying.
