Battery powered (2xAA), probably noisy, probably unreliable in winds (though I'd be skeptical of its ability to dissipate evenly even with zero wind), and emits toxic vapor that you aren't supposed to breathe yet you somehow have to be immersed in its cloud for it to work regardless. Any takers?
I just read the MSDS of the active ingredient (Metofluthrin) and it's listed as a PAN Bad Actor / Likely Carcinogen.
I really would not want to be within 20 feet of this thing, let alone swimming in its fumes all day.
This isn't just a repellent like OFF! claims; it actually drops the mosquitoes dead.
I was JUST in wal-mart today and saw that while a buddy was getting a key made. That thing looks ridiculous.
It's the size of a bubble-yum container with an extra part that sticks out for the AA's. Also really heavy in the hand and i agree, i wouldn't want that anywhere near me!
