I buy mine at the Bowshop. It's a combo kit containing 4 sets[48 hours worth]for$19.95. I added 7% tax to that & this & divided by 48. This is how I came up to about $.45 per hour. I'm buying another for My Son this week.

Well, I bought one a couple weeks ago to try out and the darn thing wouldn't ignite. I got a fluke.[:@]I tried everything and finally took it back toWal-marttoday. I just got my money back.
Mosquitoes aren't really that bad during fall seasonfor me.I will definitelytry another one for spring gobbler though.

RE: Combating Mosquitoes
I have been using mine for 2 years now and it works great,I'm still running on the very first butane cylinder I first put in my ThermaCell.I use it when the mosquito's are pretty bad and start annoying me,even used it a few times when we went Camping!I need to buy me one of the ThermaCell Holsters so I can carry it on my side or hang it on my ladder stand when I'm hunting.

I got one with the holster also. What's nice about the holster is that even though you have to lay them flat, with the holster, you can strap it to a tree branch and it out of the way in the stand without having to worry about knocking it over.
