The last thing that should stop you from making the most of balmy summer evenings is the uninvited but unfortunately inevitable appearance of pesky mosquitoes!
With hot summer temperatures in full effect, many Canadians (present company included) have been opting to spend more time outdoors in the evenings, once things have cooled down and cleared up. Unfortunately, it seems like mosquitoes have the same idea, with numbers on the rise during those dusky hours nationwide this season. Cue the answer to our mosquito-free-party prayers: the Thermacell Patio Shield. This portable, compact and easy-to-use mosquito repeller is truly the best tool we’ve found to bid bye-bye-to bugs, providing 12 straight hours of mosquito protection and ensuring Canadians can make the most of their summer nights without the nuisance of these pesky bugs—because summer’s too short to be worrying about itchy bites and red bumps!
Mosquito free nights = extended summer fun and one happy season—it’s a no brainer! —Vita Daily

I’ve tried natural ways, like having citronella plants and lemon balm on the patio
August 11th, 2023 at 9:44 am
Have the mosquito coils which seem to work ‘ok’ but you need to make sure it’s on an aluminum pie plate or protected to not burn the furniture (or cause a fire)

Hi, I have tried all the sprays, off, patches. Citronella candles and wrist bands, Avon skin so soft oil. Taking vitamin b complex (cause apparently they don’t like that smell in your body), anything and everything and the only thing that has worked is thermacell. It’s like a miracle for me @lynn_isme

We have tried garlic sprays , bug zappers but the thermacell lanterns , and free standing are the best by far. We use them at home and even take them to all our camping spots !
August 17th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
Only mosquito repellent I’ve tried before is Off
@mousemouse604
August 17th, 2023 at 8:37 pm
Thermacell seems to be the most effective for me. I swear all mosquitoes are attracted to me and it sucks. The bug sprays are alright but then you have to wash it off later and this just seems better in general and you can bring it anywhere!
