All the time. They work great and dont seem to bother the deer, or hogs. I even bow hunt with it by my side. It smokes a little and I can smell it, but it just doesnt seem to bother them at all. My .02

I used mine last weekend to eliminate pesky flies that were flying in my blind.After 10 minutes of swatting flies i decided to crank up my Thermocell, 10 minutes later problem solved, not another fly.

I use it. I can smell it a little, but have had deer within 10 yards with it going and they never seemed to notice anything. It ABSOLUTELY works at keeping mosquitoes away and beats the heck out of dousing yourself with Off.

Haven't tried it on wasp, but works like a charm on skeeters, flies and gnats.

For those that use them, what size did you use? I'm one of those people who gets bit by every mosquito, when no one else does!!

I didn't get bothered at all while in the Canadian woods this late summer for a black bear hunt. If they knock back the bugs there, down here is no problem. Take mine out a lot.

I use the standard size. They bite me first also. It works fine for our stands (4x4 and 4x6)

Got a friend that was using his in a pop up blind to help with the skeeters. All the smoke from the thermocell was rising up to the top of his pop up blind, and a wasp flew in and hovered around the top inside his blind. He said within 30 seconds or so, the wasp was dead!

Kinda makes u wonder what the heck is in those things...

I am really glad I got one. I didn't think they were supposed to work on anything except mosquitos but it sure seemed to shut the flys down in the deer blind last weekend. My wife used it more this last summer on the patio and pool than I will use in 5 hunting seasons.

Works great but after being confined for a while it does irritate my eyes.

I started useing Thermacell when it first came out for Spring Turkey hunting. I have 3 now ..one is a table lamp..I have used it in the ground blind too. I have to hang the regular thermacell under My ladder stand to keep skeeter's away.
