Despite their tiny size, we all know that mosquitoes and midges can at their least ruin a holiday, fishing trip or simply being able to sit out in the garden, to, at their worst, cause serious health problems. In some parts of the UK – e.g. much of Scotland – the problem with midges is so serious that it can actually prevent people going outside at all at certain times of the day

There’s been no-end of products put onto the market in recent years to combat the problem, from sprays, creams and even nets which cover the head. Some of these products have helped the problem, but all have drawbacks and some are arguably ineffective

So how does it work? ThermaCELL uses revolutionary, patented technology to dispense a small amount of repellent into the air over a long period of time. ThermaCELL is powered by a butane cartridge which provides the cordless, portable heat necessary to operate the device (batteries are not needed). It directs the heat to a metal grill. A mat saturated with Allethrin, a copy of a naturally occurring insecticide found in chrysanthemum flowers, is placed on top of the metal grill. The heat generated by the butane cartridge vaporizes the repellent allowing it to rise into the air, creating a 15 x 15 ft (225 sq ft) mosquito and midge-free-zone in minutes. The repellent is very unpleasant to mosquitoes and midges but, when used as directed, will not harm humans or pets

The ThermaCELL Olive Appliance is lightweight, cordless and portable, and ideal for outdoor activities like camping, fishing, gardening or working outdoors – e.g. such as forestry

The U.S. Army currently uses them in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, which we consider to be a fair recommendation!
