Longer, Summer hotter It means one thing: longer, itching, angry Mosquito seasons. And if June crawls Heat waves It is any preview of the dogs in the summer, you will need more than positive reactions and the sterilla lighting to be able to reach them.

I was playing it quickly and lengthening with the usual errors: sprays that smell bad, taste worse and candles that burn faster than your will outside. Then I met the new summer MVP: Thermacell. It is a compact, affordable tool, and heating errors that have kept my landing in the backyard and the ber of the balcony are almost free of bite.

It was made by Massachusetts headquarters ThermacellThis line of mosquito defense devices works by spreading invisible mosquito repellent in the air. Magic? Do not smell, do not adhere to your skin and it is in fact He works.

I was experiencing smaller in the collection, Thermacell Electronic Series, with a fast charging berth. For about 40 dollars, this small scepter creates a 20 -foot bubble of mistakes without error. It is available in Rei, Amazon and other retailers, and it may be the best $ 40 you spend this summer (this is not on the frozen Margaraita mix).

How does thermacell work?

The rechargeable device launches a steam line, similar to the oil publisher, which contains an artificial version of a chemical in Chrysanthemum. According to GRIFFIN Dill, an integrated pest management specialist at the University of Min I, these compounds spoke, these compounds raise the nerve receptors in the insects, which are raised by nutrition. For this reason, you may still see insects fly around but are less likely to bite.

I also spoke to the Thermacell Adam Goss Product Manager, who is conducting research and testing at the company’s sprawling laboratory in the Florida swamps – the capital of the American mosquitoes. As of our conversation, they found that the device is effective in deterring dozens of mosquitoes and even black flies and biting gnats.

In my test, it was working as it is announced. I played thermacell around the outdoor dining table and prepared the hall in five evenings during the twilight when the errors are particularly thorny. My courtyard He has a swimming poolSo you can only imagine this type of swarm that descends on space during the summer.

Every time, friends and I waited until we felt the first bites, separated from thermacell, and put it in the middle. In all five cases, error bites stopped as the fog made its way from the device the size of the soft ball. While the bites have been neutralized, we can still see the accidental mosquitoes.

Some defects

Thermacells are fed with small pods. This lasts for about 36 hours when it is constantly running before you need to fill. The centuries of re -filling cost about 20 dollars, but I found a package, good for 72 hours of chance, in favor of them $ 22 on QVC. It goes without saying that I jumped on the deal.

Looking at the most famous parts in the evening lasts for only an hour or so, you can extend one pod for a month or more if you remember turning it off when finished or the hour of the defect is over. And only use it when you need it, and not every time you stick.

Also, Thermacell only works when it is charged and not while Shipping on the dock. So, if you forget to charge them before the errors come, there is no slow or backup plan and you will have to wait until you restore some juice.

Although Thermacell did not try himself, Del said he heard good things from colleagues. He directed us away from a few famous anti -Moscito products:

• Those mosquitoes that look like the old phone ropes: do not work.
• Stronella candles: These are not working.
• Those organic essential oils preferred by the Hibays like my wife: Del was not ready to say that they did not work, but he was referring to the scarcity of research about their effectiveness and safety.
