This $30 Thermacell Mosquito Repellent is a deal you'll love and the bugs will hate
Thermacell E55 Mosquito Repellent
A couple of years ago I spent over two months camping on the west coast of Scotland in early summer. And for those who aren't aware of it, this is home to one of the most vicious and annoying insect -- the midge.
One midge is OK.
Ten, bearable.
But if you find yourself in a cloud of them, you're going to be hating life. And forget about swatting at them. It's been estimated that there are as many as 180,750 trillion midges in Scotland during the peak of the midge season!
A tool that helped keep the midges away and me sane was my Thermacell. It works on mosquitoes, too, and this Amazon Prime Day you can pick one up for a deep discount!
The Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Rechargeable E55 creates a 20-foot no-fly-zone of protection against mosquitoes, making it perfect for the backyard, poolside, patio, deck, and more.
Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it can run for up to 5.5 hours per charge, and it can be repelling insects within 15 minutes of you turning it on.
There's no fuel to monitor and replace, and it emits a scent-free repellent that drives away mosquitoes -- no smoke, flames, or harsh chemical odors.
Reclaim the great outdoors from the mozzies with the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent E55!
