This solution is probably not as effective as permithins but I bet if you juiced some lemon grass and soaked your filters in the concentrate it would work...Lemon grass has a high level of citronella which is a natural mosquito repellent...

I would be a green alternative it that mattered to you, plus it might even be a good cover sent...

i think if anything else that worked besides d trans allethrin it would be out there on the market somehow thermacell has got it locked up.they know people would learn how to refill the bottles you cant buy just the mats you have to buy both go try to buy some d trans allethrin. china or india then you have to buy in bulk never mind the gov regulations

Somewhere i read that this is a form of permithin. Maybe thats what i read. Anyhow. Permithin is working. A little more smoke and smell.

I use the factory pads, but I do refill the butane. I'm just to big of a scaredy cat. I don't like to breathe in the stuff that comes off those pads as is. Definitely not interested in breathing in anything untested.

It is a form of pyrethrum, which comes from the Chrysanthemum flower.
Permethrin comes from pyrethrum

Ya'll really need to check out the new "Off" clip on thing. (link below) It's worked well for me when camping and I'm taking it into the woods. MUCH cheaper refills and each one lasts something like 18 hours. It uses batteries instead of gas too. Much cheaper to run. Ya'll will thank me later.

Not to take away from your post but these did not work for me and my buddies at all on the river catfiahing even sitting closer together still were ate alive . Therms cell at least if we're fairly close to the unit we're free of blood sucking vampire Mosquitos . Then again one the river there is way more skeeters than 90% of tree stands

i hunt close to the mississippi river here in arkansas the coleman mosquito coils which have 0.25 % allthrin has no effect on the monsters in these river bottoms sometimes they are so many they sound like humming birds flying around the.thermacell works good on them, the mats have 21% allthrin
