@@nickcleary8272 the website suggests the pads will last 4 hours. If you get off brand pads, check their specs.

I've avoided a lot of winged or crawling critter repellent because of what it will do to stuff like clothing, or mostly sleeping bag/quilt materials. I've sometimes used the premethrin type repellents (wipes mostly) with fair results. But if it works in the UP of Michigan for "sketters it's gotta be worth a try!

Indeed, Permethrin helps a lot! I really try to stay away from anything with Deet.... that's just bad stuff. I've used more natural repellant too (mostly essential oils-based), but they seem to require frequent re-application and at the end of the trip I'm all greasy and oily, smelling like you could put in me one of those bottles as a repellent for other humans. So... not all bad... haha.

Sadly, all of these repellers seldom work when you're actually moving (hiking, kayaking, etc.). I want something that works when I'm actively doing something.

$53 plus $15 for 2 days worth of mats. Whew!!! I'll keep using my deet free spray on.

I typically wouldn't use this thing while I'm moving/hiking unless the bugs were really thick - I use mine mostly while I'm sitting around camp. So, a couple pads per day is all I really ever use. But I get the cost factor if a person would have this thing running all day.

Pretty awesome. This would be great for squirrel hunting. Their website list it for $49.00 but also mentions you can join for free to get 10 free pads per month. Not bad. Great review.

Hi 👋. I live in the UK 🇬🇧. The price seems to be cheaper than if I were in the USA 🇺🇸. Plus we get a discount code. I've also noticed going by KZitem reviews that they have brought out a newer version ( tiny repel S ) . 3 power settings. If anyone is looking for a longer lasting device, still using the same pads , I started this mosquito 🦟 journey with the backpacker from thermocel. Runs on a small gas bottle. Most people camping would carry a small gas bottle for their stoves. But yes I agree with you. The tiny repel is a brilliant piece of kit. Thanks again for the indeapth video.

Excellent video and thank you for the details. We just had two locations here in Vermont reporting Tripe E and West Nile virus. Good insurance to have if you have to be outside.

I was just reading about mosquitoes being the most deadly creatures on earth (disease carriers). We've had family living in malaria invested countries... they've been stricken more than once... really bad stuff! AND I've also heard recently that cases of like diseases carried by mosquitos are increasing, especially in the U.S south. Not great. I'll trade an occasional exposure to low-toxins to lower the risk of getting any of these bad things any day. Thanks for watching!
