  • Do mosquitoes love you? I'd love to hear your mozzie stories and what has worked and what hasn't. As always, leave a like and subscribe if you found this helpful goaw.pl/AwesomeTube!

    You can connect the Thermacell E55 to a portable power bank to keep it on for longer :goodvibes:
  • @oddie8523
    Thank you for testing these out brother.
  • @interstellardove
    Wow i need these in my life as i am stationed in the carribbean...sucks though how i have to add a whole new category to my monthly bills called mosquitoes 😮‍💨
  • @RonFoxworthy
    Thanks! This was a great educational video and solidified my purchase of Thermacell products.
  • @Thecarcissist12
    As most have already stated the uv light doesnt work on mosquitoes, and even if it did, putting it on the table next to you would than atteact all the mosquitoes in the area to where you are, any attractant traps should be placed on the outskirts of your camp to lure them away
  • @Mega1989
    Well produced video. Unfortunately your view on the zapper is incomplete. Zappers mainly kill everything but mosquitoes because they are not attracted to light. It’s usually non-bitting flies, moths and other types of insects. It would be good to also talk about the long term cost of use of the Thermacell. Love your music!
  • @user-sl5bh8kr8h
    AVON soft and gentle moisturiser works . Uk troops where using this product in Iraq
  • You should use them both together and see if the zapper gets as many without the ThermaCELL
  • @vonrollveeg
    Yes, the zapper is almost impossible to clean with a brush - I bring a can of compressed air with me ("Dust Off" 12 oz.). It comes with a very narrow long tube. Swish swish and they are all gone. Also, at least 20 times faster. I usually find a good complement of mosquitoes zapped.
  • @mrdixon3765
    Would of been interesting run both side by side at night. Would the Thermacell be a strong enough deterrent to keep them away from the allure of the Zapper I wonder??
  • @ooaqici82qb4ip
    Zappers dont kill mozzies. They kill moths and if you empty the catcher you'll see no mosquitos in it but you will find a truck load of moths.
  • @WarakuFL
    I’d like to know the date time version. I would appreciate if you could post nontoxic mosquito killer, Repellant or device for day time.
  • @marceld6061
    We had a plug in bug zapper when i was a kid in Southern Ontario. mosquitoes near the Great Lakes are insane. Every night it was LOADED with mosquitoes (contrary to the opinions of a few commenters below re: UV light). The problem is, I found out later that they are supposed to be placed AWAY from where YOU want to be as it will attract the insects. I am going to try the Thermocell this summer. I don't like the idea of buying cartridges repeatedly but all the reviews I have seen say that it works.
  • @auxrush
    how are these different than any other UV light product?
  • @chapman1569
    I wonder about the long term effects of the chemical released by the thermacell . It is almost like a machine that vapes if you think about it. But I would not vape anything! Anyway if it works it is better than the smell of DEET.
  • I’ll just stick with high strength deet. Much cheaper than those thermocell cartridges. Get a big fire going and some deet and I’m golden.
  • @GosfordLawrence
    I like the barrier of the thermo, however, do i have to keep it one place or can i move with it and still have that roaming barrier? Like can i place it some where on a baby stroller and go walking and it provides that same barrier of protection?
  • @Advokat_
    Going to Algonquin in a few days. I'm bringing a zapper, Muskol, Thermacell, AND coils . And mosquitoes don't even seem to like me! hahaha.
