ThermaCELL Products - Take back your summer with mosquito repellent you don't have to put on! Provides 225 sq ft of protections, is cordless, odor free and up to 98% effective! Great for camping, hunting, fishing, gardening, little league games and more.
The ThermaCELL® products work great. Numerous tests around the world attest to its effectiveness. It is used by the US Armed Forces and is recommended by Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a small, unobtrusive appliance or lantern that repels biting insects including mosquitoes, sand flies, no-see-ums and black flies within a 15 foot diameter.
Take the appliance to outdoor concerts, parks, camping, etc., for a personal zone of protection.
Operation: The appliance is about the size of a flashlight (the lantern is somewhat larger), and emits an odor that repels mosquitoes, sand flies and black flies within a 15 foot diameter. It uses a combination of butane and disposable pads that are placed in the device. You load the device with the butane and a pad, slide the switch to on, then click the start button a few times. It is working when you see a light at the top of the device. Then lay it on any horizontal surface. Each pad lasts 4 hours, and should be replaced when the color of the pad turns from pale blue to white, about 4 hours.
The Lantern operates the same way, but also has a small light. You can turn it on and off as needed. Refills and replacements are also available.
The active ingredient is allethrin. It belongs to a class of chemicals called pyrethroids, which are synthetic versions of pyrethrin, a naturally occurring insecticide found in certain types of chrysanthemum known as pyrethrum flowers. Mosquitoes are repelled by it. The allethrin is contained in the mats. When heated by the butane the allethrin is released. The amount of active ingredient will repel mosquitoes and other biting insects, but is not enough to kill them. Each mat contains 0.018 oz. of active ingredient which is released over a 4 hour period.
