Live Life Outdoors Mosquito Free
08.22.17
Summer means more time outdoors, but it also can mean irritating mosquitos ruining your fun! To the rescue is Thermacell’s Halo Patio Shield that offers a 15ft x 15ft zone of protection that repels mosquitoes. It’s silent, virtually odor-free and there’s no open flame. It comes in white, gray, and brown. It accepts up to four fuel cartridges for 48 hours of fuel runtime. It’s also weather-resistant and the cover protects the repeller from the elements when not in use.
Thermacell products provide effective protection in minutes and lasts for hours, and they have several options that can easily be used to help protect you and your guests during your outdoor entertaining.
You can find our more and purchase one online at Thermacell.com, or pick one up for $39.99 at Home Depot, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Lowe’s, and Walmart throughout Orange County.
