After loosing atleast a quart or two of blood . . does anybody use a Thermocell when they teal hunt? Do they work?
Tired of bathing in OFF and still getting bit.

I started using one this year. It works pretty good. This last weekend I was in south Texas on a dove hunt. The Mosquitos were huge, but the thermocell did keep them off when the thing had butane. They do get hot to the touch so be careful around dry grass. OFF gives me the itches but I use it some anyway.

Thankfully we ain't really run into em this year, kinda surprised. We have had the thermocells on at times just in case, but even with them off I haven't really noticed them

Try hunting with these guys. For size reference there is a normal sized mosquito on the bottom right of the sticker.

I thought you just strung the cloves around your neck?

They are the spawn of rice fields and marsh land.

Yeah I got one and used it the weekend before last for the first time. It kept them away. You really got to fire it up right away because it takes time for it to omit the scent smoke or whatever it is to get a protective bubble.
