Mosquito's Swan Song

'Was recently sitting out on the dock at the Birdhouse and the Thermacell kept us from being eaten alive...again. Florida's Withlacoochee River can serve up the little biters with the best of 'em. A great first or second line of defense. There's just never enough of these special evenings with family and friends. No need to let them be ruined by the bugs.

Product data on their website says "repels 98% of Mosquitos". It's always that darn 2%! Yeah...we did have a second line of defense with the Cutters, and the pain level of a couple of bites suffered by the group was kept to a manageable level with good 'ole rum & coke.

Thermacell is packaging these "applicances" is several forms. They include the patio lanterns that have a little more aesthetic appeal to the ladies rather than the camo for the turkey hunters. About 12 hours of protection. Refills about $5 at WalMart.
