We've had a Thermacell for many years. It works great as long as there isn't stiff breeze.
Absolutely worth having!
Concur. We have the clip on belt units, as well as two or three of the lantern models we spread around the outside patio area.
If in a place long enough, we also set up a Coleman Clamshell shelter, with all sides screened mesh. Since the DW is not quite as at risk as I am to the blood sucking mosquitoes - she'll go out and set the Thermacell Lantern to work about 15 minutes before we go out to sit in the shelter. (This was great on our 2015 Retirement Victory Tour to Alaska, we'd sit out with the late night sunshine and just take in the beauty around us:)!)
And, in many areas, Repel Deet 100 - is still required to protect me...
(I can be walking with a group, and no one else will be bothered. But I'm in the process of being eaten alive... They really seem to like me. (Oddly, I never had that problem with dating - it was like I was wearing a cologne that was a deterrent:)!).
Best to all, travel safe, and may the blood suckers survive well (BUT NOT ON ME!),
