For one butane cartridge and 3 pads, you are talking about $7 or so... and that's only for 12 hours.
If you shop around, you can get one cartridge and 3 or 4 mats for under $2. You can also refill the cartridges yourself and can use "ARS mat 12" mats as an alternative for only about 20 cents each as explained on
this vid.. We came across a bunch of the Thermacell refills on sale somewhere for cheap over the winter and stocked up.
Personally, skitters don't bother me because I show no fear. :) DW is deathly afraid of them and they go for her instead and she gets some nasty looking welts. :(
Wasps are what I'm afraid of because I'm allergic. The last time I got bitten, a wasp got inside a can of pop and I ended up with a huge swollen lip.
