The Thermacell MR450X Armored Portable Repeller creates a 15-foot zone of protection against mosquitoes without sprays, lotions, or scented chemicals. This ruggedized unit delivers up to 12 hours of continuous operation using heat-activated repellent technology that's completely odorless and DEET-free.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional repellent methods that require direct skin application, the MR450X uses heat-activated allethrin mats to create an invisible barrier around your position. The armored housing withstands drops and impacts that would damage standard plastic units. Field testing shows 98% mosquito protection within the coverage zone, matching the effectiveness of 25% DEET sprays without skin contact or chemical odors.
