ThermaCELL Lantern Review, Get them Skeeters Gone!

Since we live by the lake we have a lot of mosquitoes!  In fact I have blogged about the Texan Skeeters before.  They wait right at your door and attack as soon as you come out.  It really bites {…hee hee…} because I hate using bug spray.  So of course when I was asked to review the ThermaCELL Lantern I jumped on it.

First of the name ThermaCELL brought back awesome memories!  Memories of my Camaro hair and my need of a butane powered curling iron!  Heck ya!  I was excited to see them still being sold!  I took that baby everywhere in the early tween years!

First thing I noticed upon receiving it was that it was small and cute.  I had pictured it being big.  I kind of had my doubts on it’s small stature against these Texas beast mosquitoes.

According to tests conducted by the U.S. Government, ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent hand-held devices and lanterns are both up to 98% effective in fighting mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums. ThermaCELL does not have an open flame and is EPA approved.

So we set this up on our back patio to give it a try.  I have to say it really worked!  It’s pretty cool that this little thing could keep those bugs away!  Very impressive!  Now I want to try the hand-held devices.  I think it would be good for the boat.

How does ThermaCELL’s patented technology work?

ThermaCELL is powered by a butane cartridge which provides the cordless, portable heat to operate the device. A mat saturated with allethrin, a copy of a natural insecticide found in chrysanthemum flowers, is heated by the butane cartridge and vaporizes the repellent allowing it to rise into the air, creating a 15 x 15 ft (225 sq ft) “Mosquito-Free-Zone.”

You can buy ThermaCell Lantern’s at Home Depot and other outdoor and specialty stores.

I was sent a ThermaCELL Lantern to facilitate this review.  No other compensation was received.
