Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller
Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller
- It keeps mozzies off an area of about 28 square metres.
- It runs on a rechargeable battery, with no gas, flame or smell.
- Each refill lasts about 40 hours and costs $40 to $55.
Also fine: Aerogard Tropical Strength insect repellent if you only sit out for an hour or so at dusk.
The unpaid alternative
Put a fan you already own on the deck and point it across your seats. Mozzies are weak flyers and cannot land in a breeze. Tip out standing water in pot saucers, buckets and gutters once a week.
No commission on this line. It stays on every verdict.
How we decided
We compared zappers, sonic repellers, area repellers and fans by how mozzies find people. We picked what stops bites where you sit, not what kills the most bugs. On 13 November 2026 we checked that the Thermacell E55 is sold new in Australia, against Thermacell Australia, Bunnings, BCF and Supercheap Auto. We checked its price, its 28 square metre coverage and the cost of its 40 hour refills on those pages. We also checked that Aerogard Tropical Strength is sold at Chemist Warehouse.
In Australian shops: $50 to $100 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
