How Thermacell Mosquito Repellers Work

All Thermacell Mosquito Repellers, Mosquito Repellent Lanterns, and Mosquito Repellent Torches work the same way and all are able to use any Thermacell repellent mats and refill cartridges. Thermacell repellent devices repel mosquitoes by creating a 15ft x 15ft zone of area repellent. This repellent, allethrin, is a synthetic copy of a natural repellent found in chrysanthemum plants. Thermacell repellent devices are powered by a butane cartridge. Butane provides the cordless, portable heat that activates the devices. The heat generated by the butane cartridge is directed to a metal grill. A small mat saturated with repellent is inserted on top of the metal grill. Heat disperses the repellent from the mat into the air, creating the zone of protection.

Field Tests

Scientific testing has been done on the Thermacell® Mosquito Repellent unit for effectiveness against mosquitoes and other biting insects. The following entities carried out field tests on four continents in areas of high infestation, The Department of Defense, Armed Forces Pest Management Board in Costa Rica, The Department of Defense, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Korea Hacettepe University – SE Anatolia of Turkey Scientific Coordination, Inc., in Maine, USA.
