About this item

INCLUDES: One repeller, one 12-hour fuel cartridge, and three 4-hour repellent mats. Fuel cartridge: when the cartridge is inserted into the Thermacell device, the fuel evaporates and burns, releasing a chemical compound (aliphatic) that helps repel mosquitoes and other insects from the applied area. Thermacell fuel is a flammable fuel, so it must be handled and stored with care, according to the manufacturer's instructions
MOSQUITO PROTECTION THAT WORKS: Thermacell effectively keeps mosquitoes up to 15FT away. Works fast, get max protection in 15 minutes. Easy to use. Portable device is ideal for backyard, camping, fishing, hunting and more
EFFECTIVE 15FT ZONE TECHNOLOGY: Engineered to precisely diffuse repellent, creating a 15-foot zone of mosquito protection. Consistent repellent protection won’t weaken over time. Powered by a safe and compact fuel cartridge
REPEL MOSQUITOES IN AIR, NOT ON YOUR SKIN: Repel mosquitoes without DEET sprays or lotions on your skin. Unscented repellent mats last up to 4 hours each and change color when time to replace. No smoke, no flame and easy to refill
PROPRIETARY FORMULA: Independently tested and EPA reviewed for safety & effectiveness. People and pet friendly
Extend warranty to 2 years with registration (automatic 1-year warranty included). Backed by Thermacell Guarantee (see packaging for details).

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked so good!
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2024
Went camping. As soon as we got there, we started getting attacked by massive mosquitos and flies. We put out a couple thermacells and citronella candles, they kept the bugs away all weekend. My nephews super swell up from bites. This is the first time we've gone camping they didn't leave with welts! Highly recommend and looking to buy more of the stand alone ones.

Advice at bottom:

I’ve been using thermacells my whole life for hunting and my friend mentioned how good they were and that he wanted his own. I took to Amazon to get him one as a gift and out of curiosity read the reviews first.

It caught me off guard and made me hesitate to see such split star ratings. After reading them, though, I understood AND disregarded the bad reviews and bought it anyway.

I would also be critical if I had never used a product and my first experience was with one that didn’t work at all.

However, having used these, I know that they’re finicky and do, in fact, just stop working sometimes. Usually they’re just finicky and you can relight it and carry on, but sometimes they truly do just take a crap on you.

When they work properly, though, BOY do they work! They’re fantastic at repelling mosquitos, even– and especially– when the mosquitos are dense, hungry, and the size of birds. Not only do you not have to wear any stinky sticky bug spray, but you also don’t have to deal with the mosquitos buzzing all up in your business looking for a spot of skin that you missed. If the thermacell is on, you and your nearby friends can be unbothered completely!

In areas that are bad with bugs, you can tell immediately when the gas or flame went out because you’ll suddenly be eaten alive without the peaceful bug haven.

Having gone from peace to feast multiple times in these situations, I’ve only come to like thermacells more for how insanely well they work when they work correctly.

P.S. they stay lit best if they’re sideways.

P.P.S. My dad taught me that the trick if it isn’t lighting is sometimes to not screw the butane cartridge in too tightly. Just until there’s resistance. Also, wait a moment after powering it on to attempt to light it, just like a gas grill. Another trick would be to flip the repellant pads over before tossing them to get more life out of them. Once they ARE toast, it’s easiest to use the new pad itself to push the old one out. Otherwise they’re difficult to fiddle with sometimes.

My best advice for those who own or are buying one is— refills of the butane are expensive but you can YouTube how to refill them. Not hard at all, they still work, and it’s MUCH cheaper.

Moving around with it isn’t as effective as using it when stationary, like camping, sitting on a porch, in a shed, or in a treestand/nature watching. It’s also not the best with wind or if you’re using a fan for somewhat obvious reasons. The fumes build a bubble of protection around you so that you don’t even get “buzzed”, if you’re stationary. I’ve known all of those things and forgot to mention them, but stand by my 5 stars. If you’ve ever truly been eaten alive (ex: Everglades or Alaska), anything is better than no protection. And this one works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thermacell is the best!
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2024
Have purchased and use multiple thermacell units over the last 12+ years. Hunting in a swap in south carolina and it works unbelievably well. No MOSQUITOES in a SWAMP during the summer. Highly recommend. Glad to see them FInally advertising! Have probably personally converted 50+ people to using these units for hunting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Repels About 95% Of Mosquitoes. Uses Refills Fast And Refills Are Expensive.
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020
⁃ The package comes with the MR300 repeller, 1 fuel cartridge and 3 repellent mats.
⁃ Make sure that, as you purchase this MR300 repeller, purchase the refills (both fuel cartridge and repellent mats) at the same time as the mats and fuel cartridges run out really quickly. One mat lasts for 4 hours only. Therefore, you will have no mats after only 12 hours once you have used the 3 mats provided! This will save you the aggravation of having to wait for the refills sent to you in the mail as the mosquitoes continue to bite you! Needless to state, the repeller only works with the fuel cartridges and mat repellers.
⁃ Make sure you buy the Thermacell MR300 holster as well. It doesn’t come with the holster. The holster is important if you are walking or doing chores and you want to attach the MR300 repeller to your pants or tent. Without the holster, you’ll be forced to carry it with you all over the place as the claim of 15 feet isn’t true. (See below)
⁃ Each fuel repellent mat does last for 4 hours.
⁃ The fuel cartridge lasts for 8 hours at the very maximum.
⁃ This means that you will constantly have to buy both the fuel cartridge refills and the repellent mats. I bought the 120 hour pack but there is a 12 hour, 36 hour, 72 hour and even 300 hour pack!
⁃ The repeller works most of the time but there is going to be one or 2 ‘Thor’ mosquitoes that will tolerate the smoke emitted by the repeller and bite you. However, most mosquitoes will keep away. In a day of working in a garage with the doors opened, I got bit once or twice. Before the repeller, I would have to take numerous breaks or apply some Woods repellent spray on myself.
⁃ It doesn’t affect flies. Just mosquitoes. For flies, look for another product.
⁃ You have to have the product very close to you for it to work. The ‘15 feet’ claim is not true. More like 3 feet. You have to have the repeller very close to you at all times for it to be effective.
⁃ It gets hot to the touch, so be careful when handling it. Only grab it from the sides and not the area where the mat is placed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twist the fluid
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2024
At first I thought I got played. It was not working and I followed the directions. Well what it doesn’t tell you is that you have to twist the fluid at the bottom. The instructions did not say this. I had to watch about 5 videos to finally one guy really gave detail instructions on how to assemble this device. It really works and that is why I’m giving it 5 stars. I give the instructions 0 since I had to go over and beyond to figure out how to work it!

I purchased this for camping when they first came out. I recently had to order a new one because I lost my original one. Mosquitos love me, so this works great at keeping the mosquitos away. I set it under my camping chair and am mosquito free!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work as well as expected
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
I had used a similar version of this product, the little lantern looking one for home use. It worked pretty well so I bought 3 of these to take on a Minnesota canoe trip. Either the mosquitoes up there are just too aggressive, or the repellant was ineffective outdoors. I gave it a couple of tests, setting it up on a picnic table and even after nearly an hour the mosquitoes were still a problem. Seems like clipping it onto yourself doesn't work either as you can't let the product build up a protection zone if you aren't sitting in one place.
