  6. If you own a Thermacell I highly recommend capping the cartridge after every use so that the pyrethroid (metofluthrin) doesn't evaporate. If you've already discarded the cap just use plastic wrap. Replacement cartridges are over $20 each. Also, if you're the forgetful type set a phone timer so that you're reminded to turn the contraption off after dinner. #thermacell #mosquitoes #pyrethroids #repellents

  7. Quick tip for Thermacell owners: replace the repellent cap after every use so that you don't lose fluid from evaporation. Refill cartridges (active ingredient: metofluthrin) are insanely expensive. Doing this will also remind you to turn the device off. #mosquitoes #pesticide #repellent #thermacell #pyrethroids
