- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The ThermaCell mosquito device in this video was evaluated in the most mosquito-infested place in the entire Scandinavia, Jårkastaka, which is located north of Kiruna on the road to Karesuando and Finland. The review is unbiased and truthful, although it was difficult to estimate the number of mosquitos exactly. A total of 150 to 300 mosquitos were removed from the air in the car within 15 minutes.

Was anyone else thinking “man, hurry up and turn it on!” 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn’t be that calm around mosquitos. Kudos to you and thanks for doing this vid
Thx!
Oh man....!! I'm only at 4 mins and I'm itching like crazy !!! I'm not sure I can make it further... is there a transcript of the rest of it that I can just read !?!?? LOL... 😅 ... Well, ok.... here goes.... I'm gonna hit play again.... God help me !! (Thanks for the vid !! Much appreciated !!)
And SHUT THE WINDOWS 😂😂😂

Turn it on... I think one of them mosquitoes flew in me headphones.
Legend has it, he’s in the passenger seat because the mosquitoes drove him there.
Am I the only one scratching myself just by watching this?
This was my 6th video review of the Termacell and I just bought 4 after watching this. Talk about a perfect test, Thermacell should pay this man!!! Two thumbs up dude!!!
Totally agree with this statement ->🎖
Do you even know what you'll be inhaling from that gas?
Dude. You're like one of those lion tamers. You're MUCH calmer than I would be. Respect.
"1,2,3,4,5, I have 300 mosquitos in my car". Well that escalated quickly 🤣Great video thanks !
😁
I had the same thought 😅
That was the countdown for counting proccess to complete.
I am an American hunter in the southeast and Thermacells are the best invention for hunters here in the last 35 years.
i have a summer property/house /cabin near Arvika on a very remote street surrounded by small lakes . my family and friends were attempting to drink some wine on the front porch but had to wear nets over their faces to prevent being attacked by mosquitos .they would lift the veil take a quick sip and immediately cover their face again . i laughed hysterically at this and went in side .
The lovely truth about Sweden 😂 thanks for comment. I love Värmland!
Am I the only one who had serious anxiety at the beginning of the video with SO MANY MOSQUITOS flying around?
I was itchy the whole time!
The devices work and I count on multiple units to cover large areas. With a quick mod, the butane canisters can even be reloaded.
You can recharge the pads too, wet them again with the liquid refills for those supposed to sit in a AC socket.
Thanks for doing a demo. I have been carrying one whenever I go out on walks with my dog or hiking. Didn't really know if it was working I think it does, I don't like using messy liquid repellents. Canada has similar landscape and bugs as Sweden. Some people say our northern mosquitos are big enough you can use a shotgun on them.
Get bugasalt gun for home clearing 👌
Not sure how effective it is when moving
@@TheFreeBro for home clearing
Its not so good if you are moving. But example we use these in 3d archery shooting and works fine, we are in one target like 5-15 mins and move to next etc...
Prallethrin being a pyrethroid is quite effective against mosquitoes in sufficient concentration and exposure time but unless trapped they rather fly away from the stuff than perish.
At usual concentrations pretty much harmless to most mammals like humans thanks to our bodies being able to metabolise the stuff and/or it being comparably not well able to bind to our sodium channels, yet it’s highly dangerous to aquatic wildlife and cats who have been given the middle finger by Mother Nature when it comes to pyrethroids, I guess.
Ah, very interesting, thanks for the explanation/details!
Does that mean cats will get hurt from being around a thermacell in use, or should they just not eat/lick the tablets?
wow let me guess you’re either a biologist or a chemist right 😅
@timderks5960
In my experience with it and cats is they cannot physically touch it at all. To be safe I’d keep it sealed away from all pets and children.
The Thermacell repellent is highly effective and I’ve tested in various places and countries. Cheers from Southern California!
It doesn't work if windy. It works great otherwise. I use this inside a mesh tent while cooking. I also it to clear my area of the 200+ mosquitoes between my mesh and tarp before I get out of my hammock in the morning or right after it gets dark. Works great after 10min of turning it on. I have had mine for 6 years already.
If it is windy, mosquitoes have a problem flying, too, so 99.9% of them will stay somewhere safe.
@@FlorinArjocugenerally how windy does it have to get before that point?
@@blockfifteenin my home mosquitos are only a problem when its hot, so I sleep with a fan on and they don't bite me + I cool myself
@FlorinArjocu I don't mean constant wind. In that case, you wouldn't need to use it. I meant if there is gust here and there because the smoke needs to stay in the area for it to work. Like the inside of my hammock tarp space.
I have a cabin in Northern Minnesota. Before thermacell, I soaked myself in 40% DEET. Now, with thermacell, I can be in my backyard doing whatever I want, like it's the middle of winter without a mosquito in sight in the middle of summer. I was going to hire someone to screen in our deck before so we could enjoy the summers bug free but Thermacell works just as good. I have 4 around our cabin, one by the back door and three around the backyard/ deck/ bonfire area. Works great on a boat too in the middle of the lake where mosquitos can be their absolute worst/thickest you can imagine, talking tens of thousands flying around your immediate area, so thick you could scoop them out of the sky with a net, but with thermacell they keep a good distance.
Only drawback is if theirs a slight breeze over 10mph, then the wind nullifies the affects somewhat.
I put one of these exact Termacell units on the ground right next to my bare foot and ankle. I could see the wispy smoke coming from the insert so I knew it was working. I put my foot right next to it so the wisps were flowing past my ankle. It was maybe 20 seconds and a mosquito landed right on my ankle.
We have these in Venezuela, where you dont want mosquitoes around carrying dengue and other bad infections, and the best so far is ultrasonic repelents. Chemical ones are over in 1 h and then you wake up in the moddle of the night regreting. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Can you link to one so i can buy it? Thanks!
Which ultrasonic repellent please?
Ultrasonic repellants are torture for dogs.
These last much longer than 1 hour.
Iv been using these devices now two years. I seem to attract mosquitoes more than anyone I know. One thing I do is add a few drops of pyrethrin to the pad to kill the mosquito's and not just push them away.
To make this product cheaper to run I buy ebay refill insecticide pads and took the one way valve from the gas bottle so it can refilled.
the pads already contain pyrethrin (gas flame is only to disperse it). it's a biozide that kills all living things (lower dose may only cause temporary paralysis). be means of paralysis. this is also why it says you should not use it indoors. lethal dose for humans is very high, but there have been deaths, if kids got their hands on bottle's of the stuff.
the good news it's almost certainly only acute toxic, so no long term effect like cancer.
the fact that it's unsolvable in water, means it's mostly solved in white petroleum, which is a rather nasty irritant (e.g. in the eyes).
important notice: since it also kills bees, it may be illegal to use during season or daytime, when bees are flying.(it strongly depends on jurisdiction).
If you go the route of use it in liquid form: it's capable of penetrating through the skin.
You’re in a car right now Pretty sure you’re supposed to be outside
this video was a best case scenario : enclosed space, no wind.
It's obviously not going to work elsewhere, so no need to test.
No idea why I watched this video just now. But greetings from Oz. I used the one you put on a small gas bottle when going up to Cape York last year. Was awesome. Put it on at dusk and dawn for a few hours. Sorted.
Come by and test our mosquitoes 🦟 next time in Norway!
I likes the test....
Ahhh so the paper insert is just a pesticide like you plug in the wall,this works on a gas heater !! Nice design!❤
Yes, correct
I didn't know that there are mosquitoes in Scandinavia, since you can hardly find any in Ireland. Thanks for your review.
Your doing noble work with your product testing here.
We use them all the time- I’ve had 2 of them a long time- I just learned how to refill the butane cartridges watching UA-cam- saves a lot of $
Thank you for taking some bites for us, we always wanted to know how well these work
Any time!
I went to Copenhagen in the summer and it was like this. It was a nightmare. 1982. Nothing like this existed. Basically ruined the trip.
This video was a anxiety provoking machine!! I was yelling at him to hurry up and turn on the thermal cell!!!
its a deterrent, not a pesticide. it works well when not moving around too much.
Save you some time. It works great. I went hunting in some swampy areas. No protection got over 100 bites a limb during my 8 hr in that hell. I came back out with a ThermaCELL and watched the bugs fly in and turn and fly right back off. Always have it now. And ALWAYS got a back up cylinder of gas and spare inserts to the fresh one. It's pricey but 100% the best protection for the worse areas
In case anyone is wondering I only itched my legs once over the two weeks it took for the to mostly heal. It was 100% the best scratch of my life... after that once... there was no point in doing it again it wouldn't be close to the same satisfaction.
Thermacells work great, I usually set up 4 of them around me so I’m covered no matter which way the wind blows. I like the ones that mount to the top of a camping stove fuel canister. It’s cheaper than buying the small butane cartridges and last a really long time with a 450g canister.
Great tip!
Thermacell Backpacker is the product you mean, but in europe is seems weirdly expensive. Around 65€ for starting kit and 25€ for 48h worth of repellent sheets/pads. I'm guessing they want their money I will not be giving them via refill fuel cells.
I have one and it seems to work. I’m a mosquito magnet mostly and every time i use the thermo cell i get zero bites. Had it outside at a cookout once, took it in with me when i was getting ready to leave. Was about 5 minutes everyone else followed and said damn mosquitoes came out of nowhere 😆😆😆
Hehe your story tickled me 😂
Best demo on this I have seen
To me, a single mosquito bite means big pain and itching for days on end. Watching him in the car like that is like watching a horror movie. The only way to get rid of mosquitos is to hire me to stand 20ft away from you, so they all just swarm me in the distance.
these things are fantastic, you can sit at your campfire and actually enjoy grilling up a hotdog instead of passing out from exhaustion from slapping all the skeeters 11/10 a must have for the outdoorsman!
Itworks I'm highly allergic to mosquitoes and it works have used it as soon as they started making them cuz I couldn't find what I used to use it works pretty good the kept me from getting eaten up by mosquitoes
the best review of this product
I am very impressed, with both your video and the device. Thank you. I need on e of these, since I camp in my vehicle frequently.
Great to hear!
Thermacell is amazing. Only issue with it is if it suddenly runs out of bhutane in that little cartridge - the hell gets loose :D
I'd tune in for more tests.
test 1 open window & count mosquitos after 20 minutes
repeat test next day with thermacell or ultrasonic & count mosquitos.
seemed to work in your car at least. I could see this working well in the wild since instead of following a trail of juicy Co2 they are repulsed by it.
I was gifted one a year ago & wish I'd tried it out sooner; it worked well enough in open air when I used it beneath a tarp which I'd strung a hammock under... I had at least 20 mosquitos just hanging out waiting for me before firing it up.
The cost of refills is high, so I might look at the model which uses regular bottled gas and possibly DIY refilling the packets.
I have used it in Thailand, fast result if you place it so it is still. Less breeze is even better.
I couldn't be bothered with this technology stuff, although it seems to work. It certainly doesn't work well enough when it's windy, so it's mostly useless outside. I have great success with using lemon grass cream with eucalyptus on myself and top it off by spraying my clothes with repellent that uses icaridine, instead of deet. It lasts about 5hrs. Only the most persistent, hungry and desperate mosquitoes still manage to find blind spots on shirts, to poke through and attempt to suck my precious blood. I am from Canada and I live in a high density mosquito area.
So it doesn't work. That's what we have learned hear. After 10 or more like 15 minutes the bugs vacated. In an enclosed area. Which your not supposed to use. So if used accordingly to manufacture directions, in an open environment, there will be wind? Tell me how much of the burned elementals do you think are actually going to deter the bugs, versus the burned elementals simply getting blown away by wind? Remember, it took 15 minutes for any effectiveness.
It is interesseting how a small moskito can make life hard and nature has nothing for human to protect us.
Thermacell works, it just takes a good 20 minutes.
I have to nuclear tower looking one and used it when i was putting up a gazebos. Moskitos where trying to kill me but after 20 minutes i realized there was none around me and had quiet.
It definitely works. Just takes a little time
They def don’t work
@@traceyevans2757 they do work. but since they create a cloud of toxic mist, they may not work in windy conditions.
Under here, you see this cartridge, which contains THE SECRET FLUID LIQUID. I died, funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. Yes it does my man, yes it does. Now turn that shit on already, wtf man!!
I thought he said cigarette fluid liquid
It's not test in the nature, it's test in the car. Real test should be sitting outside in the nature and I'm quite sure it does not work with all the wind and for sure not work in 20 square meters.

I have a 240v version of this. The blue tablet emits permethrin which is an insecticide that is said to not be harmful to humans. The emission from the tablet basically makes the mosi lazy, almost stoned, so they land instead of trying to feed. Only the female does the biting.
O i remember fishing Byske river years ago, as a Dane, the amount of mosquitoes was jaw dropping.
There would be no mosquitoes if they did not have food sources of blood.
Best review ive ever seen
🙏
Do this s*** really does work I live in palatka Florida the humidity and heat is terrible right now in the mosquitoes are unbearable but ever since I got my thermacell I haven't had a single bite I only saw one laying on me for a second and then once he got a whiff of that s*** he disappeared
Just takes a little while for it to warm up before it starts to work
Verry good review👍👏 well done 👍
Great real world test
Чувак открыл для себя фумигатор! Поздравляю. )))
Nobel 🏆 thx 🙏
So basically it's a "myggspiral", as the ones we used in the 80s, packed in a fancy box with handle around.
Thanks for showing, I've been curious about those devices.
Unlike the spiral things, these actually work.
Only works if your in a small closed off area? What about outside. Will it keep them away from you.
It works. I ran down to the boat in the forest, had it with me and suddenly realized I was attacked by 100s of them. When I can back, I found that I had ran out of gas in the cartridge so it had stopped
My creation instant mosquito killer is spray gun and pine soap water. When it hit, mosquito drop like stone in second. When bite itching, hand cleansing gel help directly.
That’s a great one! But the problem is to run around and chase them.
@@BenNorway At .home, it very usable for few.
Works well enough for me. Nice review
The tennisbat zapper is king
I'm sold. Buying one tonight.
La raquette électrique il n'y a rien de mieux et sans substance chimique pour notre santé avec effet immédiat 👍
I grew up with things like that, but stationary. So you mount them into the wall socket.
Mosquitos just stop seeing you.
Omg. I hate mosquitos!! Im so happy there is in Germany literally no mosquitos! :)
so lucky
I use mine every summer at my hunting camp works well for mosquitoes but not very well for black flies
Matter of Dose. Black flies are much bigger, so they poison they disperse is insufficient.
Doesn't work outside, I think. Specially if there is any light wind
Gonna need this for bill gates gmo mosquitoes
What's the gas? Any detrimental effects on humans?
Buying one for when i do cookouts
3 make triangular mosquito trap
This is just a far more expensive version of a mosquito coil.
Except not citronella
You can refill the gas tube easily if you get the restriction out that’s stopping gas from going inside the tube again .
Citronella doesn’t work. It’s a scam.
I was itching just watching this
Doesn’t kill, it repels….
¿donde están los cadáveres de los mosquitos?; porque por lo que e visto, estabas en interior de un vehículo.. nó me gusta..
Great vid! Super informative and enthusiastic. Appreciate you!
Edit: looks like I will be buying one asap, haha.
I was slapping my face watching this!
I am a mosquito 🦟 magnet ,,even if there are no Mosquito,,if I come they smell me from other states ,take the train ,or plane ,to feast on me 💀
normal fans works very well againsts all flying insects too , you put it close to the window at night and the isects cant fly trough the strong wind i use to do that on summer , but being honest in that car were more mosquitos than in a full summer in Spain i dont know if it will work xD
Scrapes Sweden of his bucket list roflmao
We turn it on 10 minutes before we go out hunting. You also want to put it up wind. It makes a huge difference
This is part horror, part comedy, part drama 😅
The video wasn't the problem. It was UA-cams many commercials that passed me off.
You’re using the “free” version of UA-cam I’m guessing. The service you’re enjoying isn’t free to produce. So, if you don’t want to upgrade to the monthly paid service you pay by watching ads. If you’re time isn’t worth anything to you keep the free service. If you value your time and find the ads annoying, like I do, sign up for the paid service.
So what kind of chemicals are being used and are they dangerous to humans or pets ? I bet they are.
Will check !
I need a electrified beeskeeper-like suit that fries every mosquito that lands on me. Just repelling them is useless
Mosquitoes find me because I have type A+ blood. I can’t be outside at dusk.
Bro is the juggernaut of mosquitoebites. He just sits calmly in the car unpacking
00:24 Imagine you drink your coffee and after that you have to pee. Without protection... 😱
There’s a magic trick to this. Only midnight fishermen knows; berween o2.00 to o4ish a.m. the mosquitos are sleeping and it’s not a joke, it’s actually true.
Dude, you have to move. That would drive me crazy!
You definitely have a teaching talent. You went step by step and knew what you were talking about. But brother don’t move that thing around, it will catch fire😂. Set it in a stationary spot. GREAT VIDEO🍺🇺🇸
Thx 🙏
how can it catch fire ?? isn't that one the portable version ?
If you burn the tablet instead, and blow the fire out so it just smokes. They will drop dead within minutes. I use to do it in the tent while fishing up in north of sweden.
sounds reasonable. but you will also get a much higher exposure to the toxins.
Man sitting in a enclosed car with butane lighting isn't good. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a real thing. Not to mention any chemicals being released. However using it outdoors means that any protection you thought you had will be gone with a light breeze
Six, seven, eight.. roughly two or three hundred in here 😂😂
Carbon dioxide is a poisonous gas, but to humans, that trace amount would at MOST make you a bit light-headed. LoL!!
But it handles mosquitos in a humane manner.
Citronella oil does the same. It doesn't kill them. It makes them passive or entirely keep away.
You know if you would put that damn thing down and stop waving around everywhere perhaps they might land on it and you could test how good the product it really is.
Next time!
lmao i had to adjust my clothes when i watched this video
Hello, can you or anybody else tell the difference to model MR450? Are there any other models in the market? What do you think about your personel health when breathing the fume? Heinz, Germany
It’s easier to see if the piece has the flame running on the 450. The rest is pretty much the same. I wouldn’t pay the extra myself for the mr450. Thx !
Wondering how harmful is for humans in the long run
Use it outdoors or in large rooms to prevent co2 or co1 toxification.
Thermacell is definitely working good against mosquitos. Unfortunately it is also highly toxic to our highly valued pollinators such as bees and butterflies 😢
So, if you choose not to use protective wearables but this equipment, then you choose to decimate our food creators that pollinates our crops. The mosquitoes doesn't die but our pollinators die.
Search and you will find sources of this.
Also it kills fish in fishtank. I think this is a no go as nobody knows what are the long term side effects on humans breathing this poison in air.
Please post reliable links to real science. I have never seen evidence for what you say so here is your chance!
@@BenNorway Thank you Ben from Norway for giving us such a "chance" but I suggest you do the due research yourself. A pointer for you: some types of these heated pads are infused with pyrethrin. Check out the levels of toxicity of this chemical compound to above mentioned fishtank fish.
@@bflmpsvz870 so no evidence, just talking. We were all listening to you! Thanks for bringing attention to the video! Always welcome!
@@BenNorway It seems like the levels of dumb are reaching the new highs in Norway, Ben? I sent you the name of chemical of concern, all you need is to paste it in your Google and press "search".
It's only toxic nerve gas... please don't stay in the car while it's running!
Good review
Fick stor lust att köpa en efter denna videon (I am guessing you understand Swedish)
Buy the double package. It’s worth it.
