Article from Clever & Easy on Themacell Midge n Mosquito repeller

posted on 10 September 2010 | posted in Articles


Why It’s Clever

The ThermaCELL mosquito repellent is supposed to work differently. It uses tablets that release a natural insecticide and insect repellent (allethrin) found in chrysanthemum flowers. The dose is sufficient to repel the insects, but not to kill them, so I can only suppose that it’s not very harmful to humans either. They claim that they create – within 10 minutes – a 15 x 15 ft (225 sq ft) “Mosquito-Free-Zone.” I’ve been reading user feedback from several sources, and so far the feedback supports their claims. Besides mosquitoes, it’s also effective against no-see-ums, sand flies, and black flies.

To give off the active compound, the device uses heat. And that’s where it’s really clever. Instead of requiring you to find an electric outlet or to charge batteries, it uses butane cartridges which can generate heat for up to 9–12 hours per cartridge. That way you can use the device in your tent, or even when fishing or hunting in the open – ThermaCELL sells holsters to carry the devices around.

Note: The refills are around $5 apiece, meaning that it will cost you about 50 cents per hour of mosquito-free enjoyment. That’s not cheap, but on the other hand it’s a reassurance. If it didn’t work as advertised, they wouldn’t sell any refills at all.
