We all love kicking back on the top deck or spreading out on a beach for a good ol’ campfire when we’re out in the houseboat, but what’s one thing that can really ruin a good time outside?
Bugs. Especially in summer when creatures like mosquitoes come out in full force.
Luckily, the folks at ThermaCELL have you covered. Their new mosquito-repelling Scout Camp lantern was proven to repel up to 98% of mosquitoes in U.S. Dept. of Defense Worldwide testing, creating an invisible 15-foot by 15-foot area free from biting insects for up to four hours per mat or 12 hours per refill kit. It operates on a single butane cartridge that heats a repellent mat releasing allethrin, a synthetic copy of a natural repellent found in chrysanthemums, and is safely evaluated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This lantern is cordless, small, and a great alternative to sprays and lotions. High energy butane lasts 30 times longer than the energy of alkaline batteries even army-tough—this lantern was also used by the U.S. Army in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. So whether you’re grilling, hanging out on the beach, or entertaining guests, ThermaCELL’s Scout Camp Lantern is a great alternative to keeping the pests away.
