Here’s what they had to say:

‘We just recently tried a Thermacell repellent device for our patio, and it worked GREAT at keeping mosquitos away. I’m glad someone told me to try it. I’m glad I don’t have to spray smelly, sticky stuff on me anymore. Lol! I’m not sure if it helps with other insects, but mosquitos were my primary concern and I’m happy!” - Melanie Worthington
