USEFUL TIPS
• For best results, allow 10 to 30 minutes,
depending upon the size of the area, for
product to take effect and repel mosquitoes.
• This product works best in outdoor areas
where there is minimal air movement, such
as yards and outdoor campsites.
• Each Thermacell mat lasts a maximum of
4 hours.
• Mats turn from pale blue to white when
repellent has been depleted and needs to be
replaced.
• Some visible vapor will appear during use;
this is normal. Use additional repellers to
cover a larger area.

performance.
