 Thermacells in the marsh
Heading down to the camp to Redfish in a couple weeks and just wondering if anyone has had success with using a Thermacell to keep the bugs away. I've seen 'em at their worst in the winter, and shudder at the thought of how bad they may be this time of year.

 Re: Thermacells in the marsh
Use mine all the time and love it....X2 on the wind being a factor if it is still or just a slight breeze it's alright.

 Re: Thermacells in the marsh
used them hunting one time one in the front of the boat and another in the back. could literally hear and see tons of mosquitos around the boat and never got bit once kept the gnats away too. people started coming back to the boat from the land blind /c they were getting there arses tore up. i keep one in the boat and one in tackle box just in case im not in my bot fishing.

 Re: Thermacells in the marsh
They really do work. I use mind on the front porch at the camp and with in mins. theres a handful of mosq. on the ground and not one bite on me. they are well worth the money.
