I wonder if anyone offers short-term rental of these larger propane-fueled devices?

I sell all the best all natural products including the one mentioned above and this product outsells them all 8 to 1 in my store ...repeat sales are about the best testament one can ask for...it's unbiased and has no agenda ....we have a very large camping population in the summer and our bug problem here borders on ridiculous at certain times of year.....
so FWIW...this is our clear cut winner of the bunch

Mike - is there a particular scent that seems to work better or is more popular (Lemon, Spicy, etc)? Looks like they have a number of scents - just wondering which one seems to be the preferred favorite among your customers.
Does anybody know if they sell ThermaCell anywhere in St barts? They work amazing at keeping mosquitos away. They use butane and I don't think we can fly with them so hope we can find them down there
First time I recall hearing about this device.http://www.thermacell.com/mosquito-repellent/outdoors
Your posts are much too informative for MFR or TMI!
Thanks, Jim.
With the potential for newbies joining us on our next trip, I'm looking at all options. While Deep Woods Off and Mosquito Milk have always been my DEET-based defensive means of choice, I'm looking at Picaridin as an alternative. I see Sawyer products with 20% Picaridin on Amazon too, but they require ground shipping. I've got plenty of time to buy, but those who live in an everything-is-done-at-the-last-minute world may want to plan ahead.
Kevin,
You are absolutely correct about picardin products requiring ground shipping. Also, the reason that I recommended the Sawyer's on the REI website (over Amazon, my go-to-company) was that the Sawyer's on REI is a 3 oz container and the one on Amazon (the last time that I checked) was 4 oz. For those carrying on only, the REI 3 oz size would likely be preferable.

Kevin - We owned a couple of those in CT and, if my memory serves, they are not a short term fix but rather attract and trap the female mosquitos over time eventually reducing the mosquito population in the area. However, if a villa was using them consistently that might be a great thing!
Been using Thermacell in our DC backyard for years. Not perfect but keeps us almost entirely mosquito free while neighbors don't go out because of mosquitos.

Picardin is not toxic if the spray is accidentally inhaled and it does not foul up surfaces such as fishing equipment and lines according to its literature.
