Summer evenings are the best times to hang out at the campsite or around the backyard grill, but unfortunately, mosquitoes tend to crash the party. Having a reliable bug spray on hand is always a good idea, but not everyone wants to lather themselves in DEET. If you're looking to add a non-spray option to your camping gear or patio table, Amazon's best mosquito repellent device is 25% off for a limited time and well worth a try.

Typically $40, the Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repellent is now on sale for just $30. With over 20,000 units purchased in the last month, it's become the No. 1 bestselling repellent in its category and has risen into a top 10 ranking among all Patio, Lawn, and Garden products on Amazon. It also has over 12,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who have used it and say it "really works."

The Thermacell isn't a spray, candle, or scent, but works instead by diffusing a small amount of insecticide, creating a 20-foot zone of protection around the device. It’s designed to reach full efficacy in as little as 15 minutes, so you won’t have to wait long between setting it up and enjoying the outdoors. It’s safe around pets and kids, and it has even been vetted by the Environmental Protection Agency. Plus, the protection it provides is odorless, unlike DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

The device is about the size of a softball, making it compact enough to take on the go for camping trips or parties. It has a battery life of 5.5 hours, and it recharges by USB. One refill is included, and each refill is designed to provide up to 12 hours of protection.

Shoppers were impressed with the Thermacell’s performance. “I was determined to find something that worked to ward off the mosquitoes," a shopper began. "I’ve tried just about everything on the market and wasted my money until I discovered Thermacell. These things are amazing because they really work.” Another shopper called it, “By far the best mosquito defense there is,” adding, “Mosquitoes love me and I haven’t had one bite since using this.”

The compact size is also a big part of its appeal, with some finding it very convenient for camping. "It passed the ultimate test in the Everglades," a shopper said. “I recently took the Thermacell mosquito repellent device on a camping trip deep into the Everglades, known for its dense mosquito populations. Waking up surrounded by clouds of giant mosquitoes was no picnic, but within just 10 minutes of turning on the Thermacell, the area around me was completely free of mosquitoes.”

Mosquitoes are becoming more prevalent, but the defenses against them have been improving, and that includes the Thermacell. If you think adding a Thermacell to your backyard or camping gear is right for you, make sure to grab one now while they're $10 off.
