Description

Designed for the adventurer, Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller is easy to use and provides hours of scent-free, mess-free mosquito defense up to 15 feet. With no batteries or cords needed, the Backpacker provides convenient, portable mosquito protection that's dependable up to an elevation of 7,000 feet. Utilizing the same camping gas canisters (not included) that backpackers and campers likely have in their bag already, the compact and lightweight Backpacker Repeller is an essential piece of gear for life’s adventures. Lightweight design shaves ounces out of your pack (114g/4.0 oz). Compact size (97mm H x 50mm W x 67mm L). Dependable performance up to an elevation of 7,000 feet. Fuel efficient with up to 90 hours of run time on a 4 oz. canister and up to 360 hours on a 16 oz. canister. Usage Tips: Do not attempt to use with refilled canisters. Allow gas to flow for 5 seconds before clicking the piezo ignitor. Only compatible with valves designed to the EN417 specification. Mosquitoes are no small problem - they can ruin a good time with painful bites, bothersome buzzing, and days of itching afterward. Until now, sprays, lotions, torches, DEET and citronella have been the only options for fighting mosquitoes. We started Thermacell because we wanted a better way to fight mosquitoes. From humble beginnings, our team of entomologists, researchers, and outdoor enthusiasts has over 100 years of combined experience fighting mosquitoes.

    • Works decently! Way better than hiding in your tent
Style: Backpacker Repeller + 12 Bonus Mats
Used this on a recent trip in Idaho’s Sawtooths, where May-Aug is typically terrible for mosquitoes. Friends who’d camped without it the few days prior said there was a huge noticeable drop in bites and mosquito presence overall when we used it - they were convinced. We were near ~7K feet, so right at that threshold where they say it doesn’t burn hot enough to disperse the repellent. It did seem to work anyway! Mostly. We probably won’t get to test it above that until later in summer anyway when mozzies are less of a problem. Took a few min to kick in; in the meantime it was funny to see curious lil bastards practically landing on it, and us, to investigate, but after a while their numbers did seem to drop considerably and we were no longer playing “slap your neighbor” every 5 seconds. It was not a 100% reduction, but noticeable. The advertised “15-20ft” radius is also not accurate. Maybe 5-10ft where they *really* mostly stay away The wind kept shifting constantly so there was no “upwind/downwind” for us to position it better. It also did not repel mosquitoes or anything else from trying to enter our tents that were only ~10ft away, so a bunch just hung out under the rain fly biding their time until they could sneak through an open zipper. We basically huddled around this thing while it was burning and even carried it around a few times to keep our “bubble” going. There is a minimal noticeable odor up close, and you can kinda see it, but it’s nothing like a Citronella candle or bug spray. Very mild in comparison. Friends said they couldn’t smell it at all. Size & weight - totally worth it to cut the bug hassles by even 50%, which I think we did. Camp stove fuel we were carrying anyway but brought a spare for this as we had no idea how much it’d use. Seems pretty minimal as well - only a tiny flame. Duration - also maybe slightly less than advertised. We got 2-4hrs out of each little pad before bugs started to show up again. Went through I think 4 total during about 10hrs at camp. Having to buy more disposable pads is probably the most annoying aspect of this product - hate generating (& having to pack out) more trash. Durability - I wonder how long the little push-button igniter will hold up. That part always seems to break on bbq grills & our Jet Boils, but those you can at least light w a lighter instead. This thing is contained so if that piece breaks I’m pretty sure the whole unit becomes useless, which would be a shame. So far it seems sturdy, and I liked the ergonomic grip/squeeze to light it. We’ll see. Overall, it seems effective and worth the weight/space to bring it along! Definitely will use it for car camping & maybe even at home; backpacking trips - only certain seasons and trips due to the elevation limit. Will give it a shot later on a 8-9K trip and see if it still works or not. If not it’ll probably stay home. ... show more

    • Finally, a Thermacell product I love!
Style: Backpacker Repeller + 12 Bonus Mats
I have to admit, I've never been a fan of Thermacell products in the past. They always seemed bulky and inconvenient, and I often found myself resorting to other methods to keep those pesky mosquitoes away during my camping trips. However, the Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller, Gen 2.0, has completely changed my perception. First and foremost, the flexibility this product offers is unparalleled. Instead of relying on proprietary fuel cartridges, it conveniently runs on camping fuel canisters. This means I can use it for an extended period without worrying about constantly purchasing replacement cartridges. This level of adaptability is exactly what I needed, and it has greatly enhanced my outdoor experience. The backpacker mosquito repeller is incredibly efficient at creating a mosquito-free zone. The repellent mats that come with it do an outstanding job of repelling those bothersome insects, allowing me to enjoy the serenity of nature without constant buzzing and biting. The repellent mats are easy to insert and replace, ensuring a hassle-free experience. One aspect I appreciate is the water-resistant bag that accompanies the repeller. It provides protection against unexpected rain showers and accidental splashes, keeping the device safe and operational even in damp conditions. The sturdy construction of the repeller itself gives me confidence in its durability, and I feel assured that it will withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. In terms of design, the Backpacker Mosquito Repeller is compact and lightweight, making it highly portable. It easily fits into my backpack without taking up much space, allowing me to carry it effortlessly on my camping and hiking trips. The simple on/off switch and the visible fuel level indicator are thoughtful additions that enhance usability. I must say, this Thermacell Backpacker Mosquito Repeller, has truly won me over. It addresses all my previous concerns about Thermacell products and has become an essential part of my camping gear. If you've been skeptical about Thermacell like I was, I strongly recommend giving this particular product a try. It offers exceptional performance, long-lasting usage, and the freedom to choose your own fuel canister. Finally, a Thermacell product that ticks all the boxes for me! ... show more

    • Ran like a champ, and with little gas needed
Style: Backpacker Repeller + 12 Bonus Mats
I took this camping with me and ran it for 5 straight days connected to an 8.11 oz. jet boil fuel canister and it still had fuel left over after the 5 days. Now I have 7 more bottles of fuel to spare because I wasn't sure if it would go through them fast or not. I definitely recommend this, just don't buy as much fuel as I did, unless you plan on staying out for a month or two. lol ... show more

    • A must pack!
Style: Backpacker Repeller
I read a review about this just before heading out on a 3 night backpacking trip and I’m glad I took it along for the ride! It was noticeable when it was not on and when the repellent was low or out. Although it’s just more trash to pack out, if you’re camping by water you should have protection!

    • Does it's job well

It works as expected. Only downside is it is hard to see during the day when the flame is lit.

    • Works great with some helpful thoughts.
Style: Backpacker Repeller
It works! - Data sheet says use fuel with <30% propane. I found that Jetboil (20%) fuel works great. - I use 2 to form a perimeter instead of a single centrally located. This helped with wind shift. - For us old folks similar active ingredient found in original/new PIC coils. Safe when used as instructed. - Go outside and have fun again. ... show more

    • Easy to use

Works great. The mosquitoes stayed away as long as the propane is on and the element keeps working. Very economical and last for a while.
