I'd say that for moderately midgey conditions it's probably better than nothing, but that when midge-mageddon strikes the Thermacell is as effective as anything else - which is to say, not very. Laitteen valmistaja on yhteistyössä ulkopuolisen laboratorion kanssa tutkinut, kuinka paljon pralletriinia laskeutuu laitetta käytettäessä laitteen ympärille. Tulokset osoittavat, että Thermacell-laitteen käytöstä ympäröiville pinnoille jäävä pralletriinimäärä on käytännöllisesti katsoen niin pieni, ettei sitä voida tarkoilla tieteellisillä mittalaitteilla havaita (alle yksi miljardisosa grammaa neliösenttimetriä kohti). The Thermacell MR300 and MR450 are portable mosquito repellents available in a few different models and exteriors. Here’s a look at what you get in the box from the Thermacell MR300 and MR450.

Apparently the compounds have low toxicity for humans and birds, but you certainly don't want to get too close. And keep cats away, as allethrins are toxic to them. Lisäksi pralletriinin ominaisuuksiin kuuluu, että se hajoaa nopeasti ilmakehässä (puoliintumisaika 38 minuuttia). When the midges are swarming like a biblical plague I think it's fair to say that nothing yet invented is going to reduce the madness to bearable levels, short of giving up and going indoors. Repel five in ten and you'll still have a hundred up each nostril and thousands in your hair. On just such a midsummer evening on Skye - hot, windless and midge infested - we tried to gain some respite with the Thermacell MR150. After about half an hour of hopping around wearing headnets it still hadn't thinned out the hordes so you'd notice. Even holding the device up at head level seemed to make no difference - but then how could it? So far, so inconclusive. When it comes to insect repellents, customers usually rate products as a pass or fail. It either works or it doesn’t. Fortunately, I uncovered a positive consensus with Thermacell products. Reportedly useful in preventing bug bites, multiple buyers stated that it was a must-have for outdoor events.

So I've never relied on it completely and always have a Plan B. In the end, nothing really beats Smidge, if you want a midge/cleg/mozzie bite free day."

I've only used this unit for a few months, but I know a man who's had one for seven years, so I thought he'd be worth asking: My experience has been that if used exactly as recommended - i.e. allow about 10-15 mins burn time for it to warm up, keep it completely flat and use it when there is little wind - it is pretty effective in creating a safe space within a limited sheltered area - enough for a tent entrance or for a couple of people sitting cooking" says Colin Wells.sezono džiaugsmus temdo uodai?

But while mosquitos are very unpleasant, and in some parts of the world keeping them away is literally a matter of life or death, any UK user is going to know full well that, when it comes to sheer annoyance and persistence, not all small biting insects are equal. The midge, particularly the voracious Scottish variety, is infamous for laughing at repellent and for swarming in thousands.

But they’re also a compact alternative to standalone area repellents for your home. Here, the Thermacell MR300 and upgraded Thermacell MR450 are solid choices. When it comes to functionality, however, there’s hardly a difference between the two models. The price you pay for these (very reasonably priced) is well worth being able to enjoy the outdoors without being eaten by mosquitoes,” one reviewer detailed for the Mosquito Repellent Shield Lantern. “I now own multiple different models of Thermacell and never venture outdoors without one.” hours of mosquito repellent and fuel included. Unscented repellent mats last up to 4 hours each and change color when time to replace. No mess and easy to refill.
