Mosquitoes love me. I know, it’s flattering, but I’d really prefer they choose someone else to feast on. Thankfully, I’ve learned quite a few strategies to keep them at bay, and one of our favorites here at Cubby is 25% off during Amazon Prime Day right now. 

Starting today, July 16, through tomorrow, July 17, You can grab the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent E-Series Rechargeable Repeller for just $29.89 during Prime Day and save not only yourself but any nearby friends or family from being feasted upon the next time you gather outside. 

What’s So Great About the Thermacell Mosquito Repellent E-Series Rechargeable Repeller? 

This “magic wand” of mosquito repellents helps keep the mosquitos away without needing to directly spray your skin or clothes with repellent. I love this feature because I don’t like spraying my kids if I can help it — and they don’t like it much either. Another thing that I really like about this mosquito repellent for kids is that there are no dangerous flames like there would be with something like a citronella candle. 

The device works by warming an odorless, nontoxic mosquito repellent, and it creates a 20-foot mosquito shield. If you’ll be hanging out on the deck or patio, simply set the repeller in the middle of your gathering area, and you’ll have a pretty solid defense. It should start working within 15 minutes, and each refill contains 12 hours of repellent, though you’ll have to recharge the battery after about 5.5 hours.

What Is Amazon Prime Day? 

If you haven’t already heard, Amazon Prime Day is a huge two-day sale when the retailer drops some of its best deals of the year. I often use the sale to stock up on Christmas presents, small items to have on hand for road trips, and, of course, seasonal items like mosquito repellents. 

This year, Prime Day is on July 16 (as in today!) and 17. Be sure to keep an eye on the sales because while some items are discounted for the duration of the event, others are only on sale for a limited amount of time. 

To take advantage of Prime Day, you don’t need an Amazon Prime account, but having an account gets you access to exclusive deals and free two-day shipping.
