Stop giving up your backyard at sundown

One button builds a 20-foot zone of mosquito protection around where you actually sit. We've run the rechargeable Thermacell through full seasons on patios and at car camp — it's the one we keep going back to.

Without any of this:

• Spraying repellent on your skin, or on your kids
• Citronella candles and torches you keep relighting
• A yard-spraying service on monthly subscription

Rechargeable, refillable, and sized for a patio or deck. Nine hours on a charge covers the whole evening, and it ships with a refill so the first night needs nothing else. See the listing on Amazon and find current pricing.
