HuffPost senior editor Shonitria Anthony lives in Georgia, where, according to her, mosquitoes feast on humans for fun, and her patio is no exception.
“The mosquitoes made eating al fresco impossible. Until I discovered the Thermacell rechargeable mosquito repeller. It really works! It creates an invisible barrier of about 20 feet, and it holds well,” Anthony said in earlier HuffPost reporting.
“My family and/or friends and I can sit outside completely unbothered by mosquitoes... HEAVEN! ” she added.
Sonja Swiger, an entomology professor at Texas A&M University, also agreed that Thermacell-like options or space-filling devices have been found to be effective and recommended them as a potential repelling option for anyone looking to avoid mosquitoes in their area.
A product like Thermacell can also be a great option for those who want to avoid heavy bug sprays or DEET-laden creams, or simply don’t like the smell of other mosquito-repelling options like citronella candles.
