Live in NC. And when I go out to work or just enjoy a cup of coffee, or BQ, I seem to be a magnet for mosquitos. Since I have used your product it has been great to be out doors and enjoy my patio. Thanks for a great product.
I bought a couple of these, and soon learned if there is any breeze at all, the mosquitoes seem to know and will come on in, and soon be earring you up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your review. In breezy weather, place the Thermacell Repeller upwind of your location so that the repellent is carried by the wind into the area you want to protect. Thermacell may be less effective on very windy days, although mosquitoes aren't typically out when it is very windy.
This is the second Thermacell product I've purchased and both work wonderfully. When used as directed, insects simply vanish and the products are invisible to the user(s). No odor, no chemicals on your skin, no bother!
When the product works, I'm very satisfied with the results. However, I'm continually having to monitor the unit to make sure it stays lit. When it goes out, I find that I have to unscrew and move my butane cartridge to another port, (sometimes more than one port had to be tried) before I'm able to get it to stay lit.
This happens more often than not.
I've had the product for about 3 weeks.
