    I love mine. I have never seen anything get rid of skeeters like they do, but have often wondered if deer could smell them. I also bought the holster and it is very handy to attach to the stand with.

    Was out shooting last night and the skeets were horrible and I had my 2yr old twins in the stroller and they were just swarming their heads, so I figured what a perfect time to test this thing out...NO JOKE within a min or two they were no masquitos to be seen anywhere...I am completely impressed with this awesome product!!!!!:)

    They work if it's fairly calm. I don't like that they have an oder even though they say "oderless", but if the deer don't walk down wind of you then I guess it's better than being turned into a pin cushon!

    They do have a smell, and I am sure that deer can smell them. But bow season starts in NC in sept, and its just damn hard to go into the woods without it.
