00:00How's your summer going?
00:01It's too soon, I know.
00:03But when your summer starts,
00:04are you like me to sit in your backyard
00:05getting eaten alive by mosquitoes?
00:07I've literally been waiting my whole life for a solution.
00:10I was at Pepcom, ran into Thermacell.
00:13They have something called the E-Zone Guard Patio Max.
00:16That's this.
00:17It's a rechargeable device that repels mosquitoes.
00:20Creates like a 20-foot bubble around you.
00:25Now, how does it do it, okay?
00:27It does use a tiny bit of chemical,
00:29but it's the first time I've heard of a chemical
00:31that doesn't kill the mosquitoes.
00:32It just confuses them.
00:34It's like, it gives them something else to think about,
00:38I guess, because then they don't come to you.
00:40They've got, they're just messed up.
00:42They fly away.
00:43So you don't have to feel bad that you're killing anything,
00:45but you also don't have to feel bad
00:47that you're scratching the heck out of yourself.
00:49Now, it's about $54.
00:51It's an Amazon exclusive.
00:54These, which last, each cartridge lasts about 36 hours.
00:57You're not sitting outside for 36 hours, are you?
01:00But each one lasts about 36 hours.
01:02And you buy, you buy a pack for about $35, $37,
01:06depending on the current price of them.
01:08And they're easy to use.
01:11If it doesn't kill mosquitoes, I don't think it's going to harm you.
01:14I like that it's rechargeable.
01:16I like that it's small and compact, but I got to tell you,
01:20I'm going to try it this summer.

01:24don't get eaten alive.
