Thermacell MR-BPR Backpacker Mosquito Repeller, Gen 2.0 and 16 Hours of Repellent (4 Mats)

Solo lo he usado una vez. Parece ser que si funciona para el area especificada sin embargo se me estuvo apagando constantemente con el aire que no era muy intenso. Se probó fuera de casa en una reunión. zona de mosquitos. Le daré una segunda oportunidad en área de camping. Consideró que tienes que cuidar la orientación del viento para que no se esté apagando. A ver qué tal. Actualizare mi opinión de acuerdo al resultado.

The answer for having Thermacell abroad. I bought the CampingMoon adapter to be able to use this with a butane canister (for camp stoves), and it works great. And just a hint, you can buy a Thai brand of the pesticide pads in Thailand that will work with this. I was really missing my thermacell in Thailand and you can’t even get this guy shipped to Thailand, but I can take it in my luggage since it has no fuel or batteries, etc. Have tested it with the adapter and it works great.

Wow! This is a mighty powerful repellent when you go backpacking/camping. I'm so happy I bought this!. It runs off an isobutane canister so no recharging needed, the repellent pads last a good while and it actually works! For what it accomplishes, the price is well worth it. I used it outdoors for my last two camping adventures and I was kept clear of mosquito bites. An excellent product that I highly recommend!

Mosquito repellent products ALWAYS come with a healthy dose of skepticism. Repellents always make you taste bad, smell bad or also repel your loved ones too. We camped just off a lake shore, near a marsh, that was also near a rain forest. The mosquitoes were aggressive, came in large numbers and were pretty big in size too. In the 4 minutes it took to exit the kayaks and pull them up on shore, I'd already killed 11 mosquitoes on just my forehead alone. It was then that I knew we would be in for a rough time once the wetsuits came off. But my friend had one of these thermacells with him and it was his first time using it. I admit, I made a face when he pulled the thing out once we made camp. Childhood memories of my many, many experiences with various forms of mosquito "repellant" swam through my head as he set it up. The mosquitoes were absolutely nuts and were swarming around our heads in literal clouds, getting in our eyes, noses, ears and yes, I know I swallowed several just by breathing in... But we're not going to talk about that. It was bad. Really bad. My friend finally located the bag with the repellant, popped in a pad and turned it on. We stared at it questioning if we did it right, double checked the directions and checked several times to see if the thing was even on since it made zero noise - which was excellent because we were absolutely in love with the songs the mosquitoes were singing in our ears. He turned this thing on and... Just like that, the mosquitoes cleared the space about as fast as 'that guy' who lets a rotten one out at the checkout line at the grocery store. Cleared the space so well, but there was no odor, no real smoke, just.... Clear, mosquito free air. It really was nice and the relief was sudden. The others started emerging from their tents and could also enjoy the relatively small, but mosquito free space to cook and sit. I feel this really saved the camping trip - turning it from a pretty miserable trip into a positive and memorable one. The first thing I did when I got cell phone service again was to buy two, and then I went camping again. Yes, the thermacell inspired another camping trip. I had to see this work once more! The combined powers of my two new thermacell units and his repellant unit, really did improve the quality of experience we had on that first trip and the second one. What also surprised me was how little fuel the product used. One little can of propane lasted a week long camping trip. It's so easy to use even their 10 year old set it up on their own while we were all preparing for the next leg of our trip. The product doesn't let off any light, though it does burn propane. I highly recommend this product, but read the directions and understand the ingredients you're working with and how to properly handle it. Just don't be dumb and out it in your eyes... And for the love of... - don't eat it. I hope this helps :)

OK....I am impressed. After trying several home remedies including screen on box fan, Ivory soap, Bleach in sprayer, yeast concoctions, and retail solutions including citronella candles, Off, and Spartian repellents, this thermocell backpacker is the cats meow. I started it about 45 mins ago for the first time. Got my easy shorts on, a few beverages, and my lawn chair. After 45 mins, I have one or two bites but that was before unit was fully performing. Granted I am on a covered patio surrounded by 3 walls, but I am impressed! I plan to add to this review later after I try it in the yard. This is an honest farmboy review and I purchased all products with my hard earned American dollar! OK....as stated...I moved after my first hour to "THE YARD"!!! As with the porch....I got 4 bites when first relocating. After about 20 mins...post activity has diminished but not gone. There is a very slight breeze so I placed the Thermocell upwind about 5' from me. That helps but doesn't totally eliminate the little f***ers. I will provide summary after I go in for the night. (And after a few beverages. I speak my mind freely...LOL) SUMMARY....this device is probably the best mosquito deterent I have found so far. It is pretty great in zero wind scenarios however sitting in backyard with a very slight breeze I received multiple bites...about 8 - 10. Am I disappointed? To some extent...yes. I expected a bit more in open areas like sitting in lawn chair in middle of back yard. Does it work....definitely...but only when wind doesn't blow the effective fumes away. I moved the device right under my legs nearly under my chair and it seems to work a bit better. WOULD I BUY AGAIN? YES As stated...this is the best I have found so far for repelling mosquitos. While not 100? Effective I would say it is 85 to 90% effective for me. Hope my review helps you in your selection.
