Review: Skepticism dissipated! Evaporated! Buy this, but read the instructions! - Mosquito repellent products ALWAYS come with a healthy dose of skepticism. Repellents always make you taste bad, smell bad or also repel your loved ones too. We camped just off a lake shore, near a marsh, that was also near a rain forest. The mosquitoes were aggressive, came in large numbers and were pretty big in size too. In the 4 minutes it took to exit the kayaks and pull them up on shore, I'd already killed 11 mosquitoes on just my forehead alone. It was then that I knew we would be in for a rough time once the wetsuits came off. But my friend had one of these thermacells with him and it was his first time using it. I admit, I made a face when he pulled the thing out once we made camp. Childhood memories of my many, many experiences with various forms of mosquito "repellant" swam through my head as he set it up. The mosquitoes were absolutely nuts and were swarming around our heads in literal clouds, getting in our eyes, noses, ears and yes, I know I swallowed several just by breathing in... But we're not going to talk about that. It was bad. Really bad. My friend finally located the bag with the repellant, popped in a pad and turned it on. We stared at it questioning if we did it right, double checked the directions and checked several times to see if the thing was even on since it made zero noise - which was excellent because we were absolutely in love with the songs the mosquitoes were singing in our ears. He turned this thing on and... Just like that, the mosquitoes cleared the space about as fast as 'that guy' who lets a rotten one out at the checkout line at the grocery store. Cleared the space so well, but there was no odor, no real smoke, just.... Clear, mosquito free air. It really was nice and the relief was sudden. The others started emerging from their tents and could also enjoy the relatively small, but mosquito free space to cook and sit. I feel this really saved the camping trip - turning it from a pretty miserable trip into a positive and memorable one. The first thing I did when I got cell phone service again was to buy two, and then I went camping again. Yes, the thermacell inspired another camping trip. I had to see this work once more! The combined powers of my two new thermacell units and his repellant unit, really did improve the quality of experience we had on that first trip and the second one. What also surprised me was how little fuel the product used. One little can of propane lasted a week long camping trip. It's so easy to use even their 10 year old set it up on their own while we were all preparing for the next leg of our trip. The product doesn't let off any light, though it does burn propane. I highly recommend this product, but read the directions and understand the ingredients you're working with and how to properly handle it. Just don't be dumb and out it in your eyes... And for the love of... - don't eat it. I hope this helps :)
Review: Finally, a Thermacell product I love! - I have to admit, I've never been a fan of Thermacell products in the past. They always seemed bulky and inconvenient, and I often found myself resorting to other methods to keep those pesky mosquitoes away during my camping trips. However, the Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller, Gen 2.0, has completely changed my perception. First and foremost, the flexibility this product offers is unparalleled. Instead of relying on proprietary fuel cartridges, it conveniently runs on camping fuel canisters. This means I can use it for an extended period without worrying about constantly purchasing replacement cartridges. This level of adaptability is exactly what I needed, and it has greatly enhanced my outdoor experience. The backpacker mosquito repeller is incredibly efficient at creating a mosquito-free zone. The repellent mats that come with it do an outstanding job of repelling those bothersome insects, allowing me to enjoy the serenity of nature without constant buzzing and biting. The repellent mats are easy to insert and replace, ensuring a hassle-free experience. One aspect I appreciate is the water-resistant bag that accompanies the repeller. It provides protection against unexpected rain showers and accidental splashes, keeping the device safe and operational even in damp conditions. The sturdy construction of the repeller itself gives me confidence in its durability, and I feel assured that it will withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. In terms of design, the Backpacker Mosquito Repeller is compact and lightweight, making it highly portable. It easily fits into my backpack without taking up much space, allowing me to carry it effortlessly on my camping and hiking trips. The simple on/off switch and the visible fuel level indicator are thoughtful additions that enhance usability. I must say, this Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller, has truly won me over. It addresses all my previous concerns about Thermacell products and has become an essential part of my camping gear. If you've been skeptical about Thermacell like I was, I strongly recommend giving this particular product a try. It offers exceptional performance, long-lasting usage, and the freedom to choose your own fuel canister. Finally, a Thermacell product that ticks all the boxes for me!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bug kicker device
*by J***N on March 16, 2026*

Had this for a couple months now and have been using it regularly on my patio. Living somewhere with a serious mosquito problem, I was skeptical anything short of a bug zapper or DEET would make a dent. This thing proved me wrong. The 15-foot zone is pretty accurate in my experience — stay reasonably close to it and you're covered. I set it on the table while sitting outside in the evening and noticed a real difference within the first few minutes of it warming up. No bites, no constantly swatting at my face. What I actually appreciate most is that it's scent free and DEET free. I've got kids and a dog and I'd rather not spray chemicals on everyone. This just sits there and does its job quietly. Battery life has been reliable — I haven't run out mid-session yet. The refill situation is straightforward once you get the hang of it, though keep in mind you'll need to budget for those ongoing. Only thing worth noting: it needs a few minutes to kick in, so turn it on before you sit down, not after the mosquitoes are already at you.
