Thermacell Halo Mini Mosquito and Midge Protector Graphite

Thermacell Halo Mini Mosquito and Midge Protector Graphite Description

Repel, not kill

If you want to avoid using zappers or flypaper in the summer months, the Halo Mini is an animal-friendly way to keep hungry insects at bay and take yourself off the menu too. You also won't need those smelly DEET sprays that often repel humans as well as insects!

Sleek, compact and portable

Not only is the Halo Mini a valiant warrior against pests, its compact, sleek design means it will look great on your patio table while being small enough to not be intrusive. Powered by butane gas canisters, the Halo Mini is super-portable, protecting you wherever you go this summer, whether it's a picnic in the park, festival or camping trip. The weatherproof protective cover will also allow you to leave your device outside between uses, making it more convenient and saving valuable storage space indoors.

How does it work?

Powered by butane gas canisters, a mat saturated with insect-repelling allethrin is heated, spreading the repellent through the air, creating a 20m Sq. 'force field' that deters meddlesome midges and mozzies. The device works best in calm conditions, as strong winds will affect the efficiency of the repellent.

Easy to use

Place your Thermacell device onto a flat surface, remove the protective cover from the top of the device and insert the repellent mat under the grill.

To insert the gas cartridge, remove the cap from the cartridge and screw it into the underside of the device by rotating it clockwise until it stops turning - the device will only work if the cartridge is fully inserted.

Rotate the base to the right until the line points to 'ON' and the gas will begin to flow.

Wait 5 seconds and rotate the base further to the right until the line points to 'START' and you will hear the ignition click - the base will automatically return to the 'ON' position.

You should be able to see an orange glow in the view hole (near the top of the device) - this means the device is working and, in 15 minutes (30 minutes in larger areas), you will be protected from flies, midges and mosquitos.

If there's no orange glow, rotate the base to the 'START' position again until you see an orange glow through the view hole.

When you're ready to head back indoors, rotate the base to the left until the line points to 'OFF' and allow the device to cool completely before storing.

End-of-life indicator

To ensure you keep mini beasties away continuously, the blue repellent-soaked mats will turn white when they are no longer effective, so you'll know it's time for a change. Plus, as there's room to store four mats in the device itself, they'll always be close at hand. If you're sitting outside for longer than 4 hours, remember to keep an eye on the time and the mat so you're not caught out. To change the mat, turn the device off and wait for the grille to cool down before removing the old mat and inserting the new one.
