I am going to Kenya for a 15 day safari. Do you think this will work against the mosquitos?

I had hoped this product would work for my trip to Jamaica. Unfortunately, I ordered it and never received the shipment. Amazon had to refund the cost. Sorry, I could not help with this one.

Surprisingly it will. I took the thing to Peru and had no insect issues at all. Just be sure to teach her proper containment procedures, such as quickly entering and exiting.

I use my Thermocell when I am hunting, so I am usually in a treestand. I cannot say if it would work while on the move, but could be worth a try. I cannot STAND mosquitos, and want every advantage to get them far away. Good luck!

you put skin so soft on your arms and legs ,also on your face and it keeps mosquitoes from getting on you. It maybe the smell of skin so soft. I do know it works because we use when we go fishing and we don't have problems with any kind of bugs. I hope this was helpful to you.

I am not sure how long the product will remain effective but I use a fresh supply at beginning of season and it works well until September. If going to Caribbean I suggest 100% DEET only and fresh supply. Dengue and Chikungunya too dangerous to risk any bites.

Fabric seems thick enough to provide protection, I guess it would depend on how large the mosquito. Used repellant on the material before use that will keep them away.

James, If you meant to ask "will it work ON mosquitoes", the answer is definitely yes. In fact mosquitoes are listed on the label and I have used it for this pest many times with proven results.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

No. That being said...it does not harm mosquitoes either. They were plentiful and hungry. We did enjoy the fragrance.

Hi Dolores, fortunately, we don't have much of a mosquito problem, so I can't answer your question definitively, however, I would think the breeze and cooler air would help keep them away.

It is high quality (not the cheap stuff). I'd advise in a hot climate to take a damp cloth each night and wipe it around the brim and let it air-dry. As long as you don't do a Bruce Willis-style safari....yeah, it'll hold out for three weeks.....and still be around in a year or two.

It works for me and smells great. A friend went to Costa Rica with two giant bottles and it saved her from mosquito bites for her 2 month stay. Presumably it will work for you too!

according to the label it will repel all insects. I do have to say this is the best mosquito repellant I have ever used.

Vey good question. I have many set up that would come in contact with mosquitos. None had any visable ones on there. I check close to protect the garden

I lived in Fairbanks for 3 years. Mosquitoes are decreasing by the first part of the month and lessen as things continue to dry out. If you are going to be moving around [hiking, canoeing, etc.], I'd use DEET but if you are going to be stationary a Thermacell should be fine.

Yes it is very good at killing the mosquito lava eggs. I use it all over my back yard and in some spots of the backyard it is vey low area which accumale water when it rains a lot. I have few to no Mosquitos compared to a year ago.

I can't answer that. I was using it on my balcony and it worked, kept mosquitoes away. I would be sitting in a chair, a few mosquitoes flew near me. After the Thermacell warmed up they disappeared and none came back. It has a pack so you can wear it. I think I read a review around the time I purchased the Thermacell by someone who wore it while they were working in their garden and said it worked. Maybe some other reviews give more details about the effectiveness of wearing the Thermacell while moving around. I don't know if there is a mosquito problem in Alaska.
