Thermacell products really work exceptionally well but refills are a bit expensive

a product that ALSO works possibly better and much cheaper to run Highly recommended
IF YOU CAN FIND STOCK !!! Lifesystems Portable Mosquito Killer

I have both! I'd say the Thermacell performs slightly better but more costly to buy refills but you will not get bitten full stop, you literally see the mozzies doing a u turn away from the brolly! Worth the outlay imo.

I have both too
but fact of the matter is the Thermacell pads last 4 hours and come in packs of 3 with the gas and costs around £7 for 12 hours !!!!
okay you can get bulk packs cheaper and YES !!!!!!!!!!
I used to refill my gas and HAVE TRIED ALL THE COPY PADS and they do work but f**kall like the genuine ones
AND THEN !
luckily a few years ago I bought up a pallet of bankrupt stock
but IMO I prefer the Lifesystem pack that last 6 days!! at a fraction of the price sadly most places are out of stock but again 2 years ago I bought up a load of the Life system refills that were on offer

I bought the LifeSystems one early last year and its been brilliant since, I'd done my research and as Gerry says the cartridges are cheaper and last a decent amount of time.

Best value for money option IMHO.

I find incense works reasonably well
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
