Mosquito-Free Fishing Grounds Courtesy of ThermaCELL®

Bedford, MA (February 2007) – Creeks, rivers, and lakes provide abundant fishing grounds, but they are also home to pesky mosquitoes, black flies, and no-see-ums. Fishermen now have an alternative to smelly sprays and greasy lotions that contaminate bait and lures — ThermaCELL, the only butane-operated area mosquito repellent on the market, offers consistent insect defense for fishermen.

Tom Hamlin, 2007 ESPN Bassmaster participant agrees, "ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent has been offering me protection from mosquitoes for years. While other mosquito repellents claim to offer protection, this one actually works. I don’t fish without it."

ThermaCELL creates an odorless 15 x 15-foot zone of protection, that is up to 98% effective in blocking mosquitoes and other biting insects. With the click of a button, ThermaCELL is on and repelling insects. The complete comfort zone is created in under 10 minutes.

The unit operates on a single butane cartridge, which heats a mat releasing allethrin, an insect repellent that is a synthetic copy of a natural insecticide found in chrysanthemum flowers. Each mat contains enough repellent for four hours of protection and each butane cartridge will operate the unit for 12 hours.

ThermaCELL has been evaluated and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for safety and effectiveness. The unit is available in Olive or Grey, Woodland Camouflage, and the new Team REALTREE® version in REALTREE® Hardwoods Green HD™ camouflage, MSRP for the unit is $21.99 for Olive or Grey, $24.99 for Woodland, and $29.99 for Team REALTREE. The ThermaCELL unit measures 7.5" x 3" x 1.5" at the top, and 7.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" at the bottom. It weighs a mere 6.4 ounces with a full butane cartridge.

ThermaCELL, a division of The Schawbel Corporation of Bedford, Massachusetts, utilizes patented technology to create cordless, portable appliances powered by replaceable butane cartridges.
