Thermacell Halo Mini Mosquito and Midge Protector

Product Information

The allethrins are a group of related synthetic compounds used in insecticides. They are synthetic pyrethroids, a chemical found naturally in the chrysanthemum flower. They are commonly used in ultra-low volume sprays for outdoor mosquito control including many household insecticides as well as mosquito coils. Standing at only 16cm tall, the Halo Mini sits discreetly on your garden table, on a wall or anywhere near where you are based. It will silently create a dome of protection measuring approximately 20m². Anyone inside the protected area will be safe from midges and mosquitoes, even your pets are protected! To ensure you keep mini beasties away continuously, the blue repellent-soaked mats will turn white when they are no longer effective, so you’ll know it’s time for a change. Plus, as there’s room to store four mats in the device itself, they’ll always be close at hand. If you’re sitting outside for longer than 4 hours, remember to keep an eye on the time and the mat so you’re not caught out. To change the mat, turn the device off and wait for the grille to cool down before removing the old mat and inserting the new one. Unlike a powerful body spray, it doesn’t work instantly. Depending on the area and the conditions you’re working in, it takes the Thermacell between 10 and 30 minutes to create its ‘bubble’ and effectively repel mosquitoes and midges.

The Thermacell is light, small and discreet looking; exactly what you want from a subtle device designed to keep biting bugs away. 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. The idea of sitting in a chemical cloud doesn't really appeal, but weigh this against the possibility that you might not also have to wear insect repellent - itself often quite nasty stuff. Three insect-repelling mats (each lasts for four hours), and one butane canister (which lasts 12 hours). Each blue mat will turn white when it loses its insect-repelling properties, so you’ll know it’s time for a change. About the Thermacell Halo Mini Mosquito & Midge RepellerReportedly effective in preventing mosquito bites, Thermacell machine repellents proved indispensable for outdoor activities. Customers stated that devices such as the Ex Series and the E90 helped provide a peace of mind, compared to afternoons swatting away insects. Each mat contains allethrin, an insect repellent that, when heated by your Thermacell device, is dispersed through the air, creating a 20m Sq. protection zone against stinging and biting menaces. End of life indicator You should be able to see an orange glow in the view hole (near the top of the device) – this means the device is working and, in 15 minutes (30 minutes in larger areas), you will be protected from flies, midges and mosquitoes 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 as someone who normally gets bitten in abundance, I was delighted to note that I didn’t receive a single mosquito bite – nor did I feel any buzzing around my bare legs and arms – once the machine was ‘warmed up'. Not only is the Halo Mini a valiant warrior against pests, its compact, sleek design means it will look great on your patio table while being small enough to not be intrusive. Powered by butane gas canisters, the Halo Mini is super-portable, protecting you wherever you go this summer, whether it’s a picnic in the park, festival or camping trip. This clever indicator might be most helpful when your butane supply is running low – the temperature naturally decreases and the pulsing light will begin again. Tossing a Soft Pitch

Summer is here – hurrah! – unfortunately, it brings with it a whole host of irksome insects waiting to invade your picnics and barbecues. With Thermacell’s Halo Mini Mosquito & Midge Repeller, you can enjoy your alfresco dining experiences in peace, as its innovative technology creates a 20m Sq. protection zone to ward off unwanted intruders. Great for the garden, park and even the beach, this mini marvel comes with 12 hours’ protection included (with refills available to buy separately). 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. If you’re the type of person that seems to attract mosquitoes, then you probably would do anything to avoid them. Enter a little device called the Thermacell Halo Mini which claims to put an end to insect bites. It’s no-spray, scent-free, and promises 100% satisfaction. So I put it to the test…. Thermacell Halo Mini

I couldn’t honestly say that the Thermacell was more effective than a powerful body spray. But of the burn options I’ve tried – including citronella candles – it was the most effective. I like that there wasn’t an open flame to worry about, too. AH, those balmy summer nights. It’s the time for outdoor hangouts with mates, chilled beers on the lawn, epic barbecues… and mosquitoes. Thousands of them, biting at your exposed, sun-kissed flesh. Powered by butane gas canisters, a mat saturated with insect-repelling allethrin is heated, spreading the repellent through the air, creating a 20m Sq. ‘force field’ that deters meddlesome midges and mozzies. The device works best in calm conditions, as strong winds will affect the efficiency of the repellent. Are your Summer days ruined by those pesky mosquitoes and midges? Enjoy the outdoors and your garden midge free thanks to Thermacell’s Halo Mini. 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:The Thermacell is less effective in certain conditions, such as wind. It’s also difficult to know when you’ve left the protective ‘bubble’, as of course, that’s invisible. To be safe, I found myself positioning the device on the ground right by where I was sitting. But I’m not sure how this would play out if you had, say, a garden party with dozens of guests. Typically I struggle with insect bites; whether I’m on a London terrace, sitting on a beach or — heaven forbid — camping in a buggy forest, as soon as dusk hits, I get eaten alive. I found it super easy to use and (drumroll…) I didn’t get bitten the entire time, even with bare legs and arms. Is this success all thanks to the Thermacell? It’s hard to say for certain – it’s possible there just were fewer mosquitoes about than usual – but the results were promising.

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.” Keep wasps, mosquitos and midges at bay with this handy refill for your Thermacell Halo Mini Mosquito and Midge Repeller, which provides a further 12 hours’ protection from those pesky irritants – that’s a good few nights of enjoying alfresco dinners in the garden. In the box 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. You know it’s working because you see a tiny orange glow through a peephole on the device’s side. But otherwise, the Thermacell is silent, scent-free, mess-free and, apart from a very faint curl of warm air as the repellent paper starts to heat and do its job, visible-emission-free.Zendesk’i küpsiste tingimustega saad tutvuda: https://www.zendesk.com/company/customers-partners/cookie-policy/
