Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ThermaCELL ?

besides, if Lee and Tiffany use em they hafta work

Yes it does! Deer don't seem to even notice it.

My Thermacell works well in WNC, middle Ga. and the Low Country of SC.

I swear by those things. We couldn't sit out on our deck, after sunset, if not for Therma Cell. Skeeters are a bitch here. Within 10 minutes after lighting it, they're gone. We've used them for about 6 years. Like someone else said, few things work as advertised. Therma Cell does, for sure.

I use it on spring bear hunts in Canada. Can't be out there without one.

I've said in the past the inventors deserve a Nobel prize. They work THAT well.

No sir I have not.

One more for Yes it works, yes there are tons of mosquitoes even through November. I even use the Thermocell lantern on my back deck.

Have been using mine in the tree stand almost 5 yrs.

Advice: better make sure you have plenty of pads and butane. The hunters will snarf up all the multi-refill packs pretty quick as bow season revs up.

Has to lay flat and dont leave it in your pocket, it is an open flame.


Can really tell who the hunters are on this topic. "Spray down with deet" lmao guess deer don't have olfactory lobes in Oregon.

I had pretty much given up bowhunting because the mosquitoes made it so miserable. Insect repellent smells so much that I felt it would be pointless to bowhunt while wearing it. Thermacell has made it possible for me to bowhunt again, I never leave home without one during bow season.

Thanks guys, appreciate all the input.

Got one headed to Northern Manitoba with me next week.

The way its cooling off here this year I might not need one, but I'll have one anyway. Too many times to count they've let me hunt in comfort when otherwise I woulda gone crazy and left due to bugs.

Best $ I've ever spent. Wouldn't think about getting on the bow stand before November without one

I too was skeptical but its first use was in a swamp bear hunting in august and not one mosquito or no-see-um bugged me. I now have one in every hunting pack and vehicle and a pair of the lanterns on the deck. Buy the 120hr refill packs off Amazon.com.

Mine has sold lots of them to buddies and the wife has bought lanterns as gifts for many friends.

They truly work.

Works ! Mine goes to the woods during Bow Season & Turkey Hunting in the Spring . It's in the Duck Blind in Arkansas during the warm days and the porch at nights . Got a lantern for the deck and camping .

How much does it cost to run one of those for 8 hours?

with all these endorsements, I will have to try one. Much of the TV hunter gear is laughable, but not all. (remember the "cough-silencer")

They've gotta be seen to be believed.

Day 1 in the swamp, dripping with 100% DEET, I was still getting dive-bombed, if not bitten. It was playing with my head badly to have so many critters in my ears. Day 2, with the Thermacell, found me in the middle of a 10' bug-free dome. I could see the fcukers in a grey-black cloud all around me, but they wouldn't come in. Amazing.

Watch this YouTube clip and you can re-fill your empty butane canisters; this works, I do it.

I soak my used pads in Permethrin I buy at Tractor supply; works as well. I buy no more refill packs.

Link for pad recharging.

I've also heard of guys using them as scent bombs in the fall with doe pee on a played out pad. has anyone tried that? It sounds like a smart idea, especially in freezing temps.
