Review: ThermaCell EX90

By Mike England

After a cold, wet spring, the skeeters finally arrived—in legions. Swatting didn't cut it. Citronella candles no longer sufficed. It was time to pull out the big guns—so I picked up a ThermaCell EX90 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller and waged war. It was a slaughter. Or rather, a surrender—my needlenosed nemeses simply gave up. Their offensive ended, peace was restored, and pleasant backyard barbecues resumed. And now, with my portable perimeter of protection, future camping trips will be equally devoid of unwelcome assailants. Thanks, ThermaCell, for coming to my defense. $50; thermacell.com.
