The Thermacell Insect Repellent System is simply genius. The combination of a gas filling and a pillow with a repellent in a special Thermacell device provides long-term protection against mosquitoes and other annoying insects. Of course, we also offer spare refills that you can buy as a precaution.
Thermacell repellent systems are an ecological solution, because although they contain the synthetic active ingredient (active substance) D-trans-allethrin, which belongs to the pyrethroid group, it is synthetically adapted to pyrethrin, which is a natural biocide that is contained in the seed pods of the dalmatian chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum cineriaefolium).
The replacement gas cartridge, which activates the active substance contained in the pads, is intended for Thermacell gas pocket devices, lamps and flashlights. Gas cartridges can be stored for a long time, and one butane cartridge can power Thermacell insect repellers for up to twelve hours. Which means that 4 pieces in the package will last you 48 hours.
The advantage of the Thermacell system is that you do not have to use up gas fillings (or pads) at once. If you use them for two to three hours a day (for example, when sitting in the evening at the campsite), one package can last you the whole vacation (and you still have some left over). When not in use for a long time, we recommend removing the unused pillow and storing it in a cool, dry place.
