Fantastic tool for late season turkey hunting.
Just one caution to everyone using one - don't forget to TAKE OUT the fuel cartridge after you're done using it!
If you leave the fuel cartridge in the device the feed nozzle can plug up over time & it won't work after that, even with a fresh cartridge in it.
I learned this lesson 4 years ago the hard way!
Fortunately the Thermacel company stands behind their products - they sent me a new one free of charge.
I am definitely glad this post came up i was pondering getting one, read reviews on sellers pages with mixed reviews but this it seals the deal i will be getting one or 2.
Buy one without a doubt!!!
they work great. i add a bounce dryer sheet tucked into the back of my hat. never had them buzzing my head for 3 years now...
last season we forgot to bring our thermacells with us about mid season to a swampy bush. we applied DEET about 8 times each and actually sat and sprayed the mosquitoes with DEET and they still kept coming back for more. By the middle of the hunt I was not even paying attention to whether there were turkeys around I just was blasting mosquitoes with repellent to no avail.
I have been in similar conditions late season even with a thermacell and it works wonders even in the worst conditions. It is not cheap to run it, but I wouldn't enter the turkey woods without one now.
Never go in the turkey woods without one!
Can you give a little more detail about this method....Quote:

sorry frati, iwas away at my sons hockey tournament. plain bounce dryer sheet. i put one in my hat. sometimes in the and bag it overnight. last 2 years been spraying my immediate hunting area with regular listerine(mouthwash).seems to work great
Love the Thermacell!
For you guys close to the Canadian Tire in Kemptville, I bought 2 there over the weekend for $21.99 + tx. They are on clearance. Now here is the interesting part. They are $29.99 in the new hunting section (green or camo). The grey ones in the Pest Control section are the exact same thing without the colour shell.
I got home and sure enough black and green markers worked great to create a camo shell without the added cost of "Hunter version"
