These actually work great!I won't put bug spray on my body!This works better anyhow and you don't smell bad!I have two of the units and place them on the up wind side of the camp fire or picnic table and we don't have any problems with nats or skeeters.If you use a tent it's a good idea to place a unit in the tent prier to going in and these units will get rid of any bugs that were in there.Now that I've been using these for a few years others in my group have gotten them and also really enjoy not having to use bug spray.

There is something about me and most of my family members that draws mosquitoes to us from miles away (or so it seems). The word goes out on their little mosquito teletype devices - or snapchat - whatever the case may be - that the sweet blood humans are out and about and ripe for the biting. I use bug spray liberally when going out for walks, but then I have to shower to avoid transferring the spray onto my clothes and sheets when I retire for the evening. I don't want to have to do that when I am simply sitting on my back deck, sipping a frosty beverage and enjoying the long languid summer evenings in the shade of my heavily treed yard.I have invested in several Thermacell Mosquito Repellent devices and need to order refills every 6 weeks or so. This particular bundle provides a great combination of fuel cylinders and repellant mats. The cylinders last for 12 hours and the mats conveniently change color as they are used, so you know exactly when to change them out. I like the dirt scent which seems to be largely targeted to hunters,, but to me it smells like the earth rather than dirt - although one could argue that they are one and the same. Regardless, it is not an artificial flowery scent - it is the good earth. And I like that.

We use Thermacells frequently during hunting season here in southeast Louisiana. We have always been leary of using bug repellent because we feel it spooks the deer. The thermacells do not seem to do that. As a matter of fact, I have killed them at close range while it was running. Whether or not they could smell it at the time I do not know but I have taken deer with it on. I have always used the traditional scent but when I saw the earth scented, I purchased these for my daughter who hunts also. The smell was a nice wet earth smell and definitely smelled authentic. We did not notice any difference in the ability to keep away the bugs between traditional scent and earth scent. However, we damn sure noticed the difference between having the thermacell on and leaving it at home!! The bugs knew too!!! This product is most effective when the wind is at a minimum and there are relatively fresh scent pads in the unit. I have gotten a little more use from the pads (longer time before changing) than the instructions suggest so that was a plus. It truly has worked well for us on the deer stand in warmer weather and I recommend them to people. I give them as gifts to my kids who deer hunt and they love them. We bring headnets as a backup, but thermacells have always done a good enough job on the deer stands to where we never had to wear them. Some people complain the refills can get pricey, but when stand hunting in a swamp in warmer weather and the mosquitoes are bad I'd argue they are worth their weight in gold.
