2023-05-22 at 4:03 PM UTCHere's my thermacell thing, I have 3 but only took 1 because 1 is supposed to be enough
It has a little fuel canister in it that heats the blue pad, the blue pad gives off the anti mosquito repellent...each pad 'ALLEGEDLY' lasts for up to 4hrs..it' goes white when it's finished and you replace the pad, the fuel canister lasts for about 12hrs.
The pads and fuel are not cheap...I think I'll just stick to a bottle of deet spray next time.
PRODUCT SUMMARY: FUCKING FAIL. -

o, i thought it was some kind of ultrasonic device.
nothing in nature have mozquitoes repelling properties and any product or company that make use of testimonies of sastified users are generally bs and outright scam.
be warned.
even if it "works", its only due to placebo effects generated by your easily manipulated psychology,
