New to Prime Day? We’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
If you want to get rid of mosquitoes, throw that fly swatter in the damn trash. It doesn’t work against mosquitoes. Throw away that citronella candle. It might not work either. Luckily, there’s an effective solution: Thermacell mosquito repellent , which is on sale for $31.81 on Prime Day instead of $49.99. It’s a mosquito-killing solution that’s up to 97% effective .
I used a Thermacell E-Series on a recent camping trip and my friends and I were not bothered by mosquitoes at all. I’ve been using it on our porch ever since and have had virtually no mosquito bites. Plus, Thermacells are easy to use. Just charge the unit, press the start button, and the unit silently sprays an odorless substance (allethrin or metofluthrin, both synthesized from chrysanthemum flowers) into the air, creating an invisible 20-foot no-go zone for mosquitoes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t kill mosquitoes, but that’s not a guarantee.
