Thermacell

You can't go wrong with a Thermacell. They are worth they money and I use the heck out of mine. I highly recommend you get one! :D

They are absolutely worth the money and probably the best outdoors item I've ever purchased. I deer hunt a lot, and I believe you could sit in the bottoms "nekkid" and not get bit. I know they work, but haven't exactly tried that scenario!! Yeah.....I know........ thanks for the mental picture:D

I agree, probably one of the best purchases I have made.

The thermocell really works I use it in the deer stand and on the front porch or deck. It keeps the mosquitos away.

I have a buddy that swears by it. I have the lantern version of it, but haven't used it a lot. I have heard that it doesn't do quite as well on water as in a deer stand. wind & moving a lot have a tendency to cut down the effectiveness of it. I would like to know if anyone has used it on the water, & if it was effective. I would be fishing a lot at night if it did work.

If it's a little windy, I just make sure to put it where the wind is gonna blow from the unit to me. Ya gotta "play the wind" a little bit. If it gets much windier than that, I shouldn't have much of a bug problem anyway.

Randy you can sit on Mound Lake at midnight in August and not get bit. Like other posters have said when the wind gets to the point it renders the thermocell ineffective it usually is windy enough to keep the skeeters at bay anyway.

Chris, when I was at Old Town last weekend, I got there about 6am. I launched my boat and listened to the mosquitos. It sounded like mudgrips tires running on asphalt. At 6:15 I was in the middle of the lake and 5 minutes later I had caught 6 fish. Then I trolled over to this huge Cypress and messed up and hit a limb and about 2 million skeeters hit me. Rather something the looked like skeeters, dayum suckers were crawling all over me. It took me 20 minutes to get them brushed off of me

Even though I've never used one myself, everyone that has one says they are a must have. And a word to the wise...you'd better get one before you venture out to CC this summer...I know I'm not going back without one. There were literally millions of skeeters attatched to the cypress, and with one bump of the boat, it starts looking like a Stephen King movie really quick...:D

If they are on wood and trees, they are usually midges. They look and sound like mosquitos but don't have a proboscis to poke you with.

One in the front of the boat, one in the back & the lantern style in the middle at conway in the summer.
