scoutm Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Picked up a ThermaCell Mosquito repellent device on the hopes that it would make the summer glassing a little more comfortable and it worked. I was amazed. Their claim of up to 4hrs of effectiveness is way off. It's only lasted about 2.5 hours. But that time was a great 2.5 hours of glassing - not a single bug. Once the repellent pad was drained the bugs got so bad I had to leave. Don't know how it well it will work in wind but it worked great this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoutm Report post Posted August 13, 2007 ????????????????? The ThermaCell is a small device that has a 2 inch by 1 inch replaceable repellent pad that is heated by a butane powered heating element. It releases an odorless insect repellent. It suppose to create a 200sqft area free of insects. Don’t know about that but I put in on the ground behind me and had a great insect free glass for about 2.5 hours. Once the repellent was all gone I was swarmed by bugs.

coueshunter Report post Posted August 13, 2007 I have been curious about these for awhile. I want to make sure they are odorless and I will get a few of them. Wouldnt the butane make a smell?........any input?........thanks.........Allen.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted August 13, 2007 I would think as long as the butane is burning it wouldn't create an odor, but raw butane usually has an odor added doesn't it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoutm Report post Posted August 14, 2007 I never smelled any odor but I don't have the nose of a deer. I wouldn't hunt with one but sure made scouting better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoutm Report post Posted August 14, 2007 I got mine at sportsman's. I have not hunted with it and most likely won't. It didn't have any impact on the number of deer I saw when I was out. In 2.5 hours saw 13 different deer one of which fed within 75yrds of where I was setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
