I was early season bowhunting last year. I climbed a 10' lean on stand that had a small berry tree behind it about the same height as the seat. There was a swarm of mosquitos in it,I mean hundreds all around me. the cloud of mosquitos was so thick I could hardly see. They were in my eyes, ears and mouth. I lit up my TC and looked at my watch. In just over four minutes there was not a mosquito in sight. Two does came out twenty feet from my treestand and hung around for 1/2 hour before ambling off. I am a believer for sure.

Another believer in the TC! There is some smell but so far the deer haven't cared.

Where I live and hunt the TC gets used the whole season. Not many really cold days. Rather go hunting without my bow than my TC.

I used one this weekend and didn't work at all and I took it back. With it smoking, moscitoes were landing on it and me with it on my lap. maybe Washington are tougher? I was not impressed.

These work great. However, they claim that animals don't smell them, but I can! This has always made me nervous about hunting with them. I use mine when I shoot the 3d course. Has anyone tried the earth scent pads?

They work, but they are a bear to light at altitude. This summer, camping in our normal places at 8 to 9 thousand feet, the Thermacell would not light. Got home to 5000 feet, and it worked great.

A lot of us swear by these things down here in Florida! Some tips: 1) You have to have the smoke enveloping you for them to work to their fullest potential. 2) They really don't work well for the walk in/out because your walking away from the fumes.. you have to be sitting still. 3) I think the deer can smell them, but as stated, if they're smelling the TC, their smelling you so doesn't matter. 4) each pad only lasts for me maybe 2 - 3 hours, so pick your times wisely, they get expensive.
Great product!

Hey chris if it hasn't been answered already get the holder for the therma cell. The one I have has a utility clip and I clip it to my stand behind me and it hangs there out of the way and still works great.

Just want to throw my opinion in also. They are a must in the rice country and river bottoms in northeast Arkansas. I would turn around and go home if mine was not in my pack. And how do I know when the butane is empty or the pad is used up? Easy, skeeters start to bite!!! Great tool, get one, you'll see!
