If our other options aren’t festive enough for you, look no further than the Tiki BiteFighter LED String Lights. But the higher price buys you the convenience of the app integration and the polished look of the repellers. That’s a lot, considering that the base functionality is the same as putting out three strategically placed E90s, which cost about $50 each. The smallest kit, with three repellers, is roughly $700.

If there is a downside to the LIV, it’s the cost. Setup is simple, and the repellers have the look of a high-end landscape light. In our tests, we found the components to be of very high quality, and the app was easy to use. The LIV can also be integrated into smart-home systems. The app provides total control over the system, including turning the repellers on and off, putting them on a schedule or a timer, checking the amount of repellent remaining, and even changing the color of the little lights on the repellers. Depending on which kit you get, the three, four, or five repellers offer a wall of protection and can encircle a patio, porch, or other outdoor area. This system consists of multiple repellers wired together and controlled by an app. But if you’re okay with the compromises of using butane and pads, Thermacell offers similar models worth considering.įor the most comprehensive and integrated approach to mosquito control, we like the Thermacell LIV Smart Mosquito Repellent System. In a large catalog of similar Thermacell products, the MR450 stands out with a more rugged design and a few minor convenience features. The advantage is that there’s no reliance on an outlet to run the repeller, so it’s the better choice for long camping trips, hunting, and other extended outdoor activities. The pads last for far less time than repellent cartridges, and it’s harder to tell when they’re used up. The butane is easier to burn through and harder to replace, as opposed to simply recharging a battery. Instead, like many of Thermacell’s models, the MR450 runs on a butane cartridge and uses four-hour repellent pads, both of which are less convenient than the E90’s features. Like the E90, the MR450 has proven mosquito-repelling capabilities, but it lacks some of the E90’s finer touches, particularly the rechargeable battery and the long-lasting repellent cartridge.
