How It Works
The Thermacell E-Series is an on-demand mosquito Repeller. The rechargeable battery powers a heater that diffuses mosquito repellent from the repellent refill into the air. Turn it on and within 15 minutes you will be protected from mosquitoes in the surrounding area. When finished using it just turn it off. It’s that easy. No sprays to wash off and no candles to blow out.

FAQS
Does it tell you when the repellent cart needs replacement?
Not sure if the device tells you. But the cartridge just drops in and out and is easily removed. The cartridge is made of a smoked plastic and it is easy to see how full the fluid level is by looking at it.
What is the ingredient they use to repel the mosquitoes? And why isn’t it listed anywhere?
The active ingredient is Metofluthrin, and it is listed on all of the E55 packaging. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as we work towards making information more readily available.
refill is single use? once used will expire or use again next time
If you have a 12 hr refill, it will last 12 hrs. Once you turn off your device it will stop using the refill. For example you turn on your device for 1 hr it will only use 1 hr of your refill. Yes you can use again next time. It is important to remember to turn on and off your device.. When you turn off your device it stops using the refill.
Does this product repell gnats and noseeums as well as mosquitoes?
Thermacell has never officially tested this product on no-see-ums or gnats, but we have heard from many happy customers that Thermacell does work against them. All Thermacell products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so we suggest giving it a try for your intended use, and if you aren’t completely satisfied just call or email us.
How is this one different from the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Rechargeables?
The Gen 1 and Gen 2 is the Radius
So which model is best? The E55 or the radius 2.0?
It depends on what is most important to you for features. Please see below:
The Radius:
– 6.5 hours charge per use
– 15 ft of zone of protection
– Timer
– Battery Indicator level
The Rechargeable:
– 5.5 hours charge per use
– 20 ft zone of protection
– Battery Indicator level
– Audible indicator on/off/low battery
Refills:
– The refills are interchangeable but rechargeable refills (ER) will provide 20ft and the Radius refills (LR) will provide 15ft
How to replace battery
The battery is not user replaceable. Thermacell would rather the E55 get thrown into a garbage dump so the battery can poison our ground water and Thermacell increases profits because we are forced into buying a complete new unit. Win/Win for Thermacell. So much for the environment. Corporate profits over a .50 cent user replaceable E55 battery.
Is this product safe around birds and hummingbird feeders?
Thermacell products are safe to use around pets, people, and birds as long as the instructions are followed for starting, running, storage and disposal of the used components of our devices. Thermacell products are for outdoor use only.
We have never learned of an incident were our devices were shown to cause any persons, pet, bird to become ill.
Does it work for house flys?
Thermacell is designed and tested to repel mosquitoes.
Is the only difference between the E90 and E55 models the size of the battery? Or are there other differences?
Yes you are correct the only difference is the hour per charge usage. The E55 has a 5.5 hour per charge usage and the E90 has a 9 hour per charge usage. It will take about the same time to fully charge as the hour per use.
Is this product waterproof?
No. There’s a vent at the top and also the top part simply pops off so no its not.
