“I’ve tried citronella candles, torches, fogger, just about everything, and Thermacell is the only thing that really, really works,” shared one five-star reviewer. “Easily the most effective and convenient mosquito repellent on the market,” added another shopper.Â
Thermacell notes the rechargeable device works best anywhere mosquitoes are present, like your backyard, porch, deck, or pool. And, unlike candles or torches, you won’t have to worry about flames: The pet-safe mosquito repellent device uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery to warm unscented liquid inside its 12-hour replaceable cartridge when the gadget is turned on. Plus, you can choose from the 5.5-hour battery model or the 9-hour battery model that’s only $10 more.Â

“Charges quickly and charge lasts as advertised,” wrote a shopper who titled their review “Best Product Ever.” Another user, who lives in an area of the South where “mosquitoes range from bad to horrendous,” added, “I try not to gush on reviews, but this product has been a game changer for us.”
