    Default Thermacell Update


    I was talking with a friend the other day about the thermacell. He said last year while fishing at Maddox Bay, the mosquitoes got bad, so he turned it on. After a few minutes the mosquitoes left. After a few more minutes, all of his crickets were dead!

    If it killed the crickets, makes you wonder what it's doing to you?

    They also told us Agent Orange was harmless too. Nuff said.

    Never tried a Themacell. Had to look it up to see what one was. I plan on getting a couple to try for night fishing. I've seen them in the stores and didn't pay them much attention. I guess, from what everyone here says, they really work well.
