        Perfect timing. Thanks for sharing. 👍

    So these actually work? Not like the bug zappers?

    Very good deal.

    Has anyone had any luck with sourcing the pads for these at a reasonable price?

    • Rosace on 27/12/2024 - 08:49

      Got 100x knock offs from eBay apparently can insert two of them at once as they're smaller.

      • MerlinKlendatu on 27/12/2024 - 10:31

        Same chemical composition and effectiveness?

        • Rosace on 27/12/2024 - 11:11

          Trying for the first time, waiting for delivery. Meanwhile maybe someone who tried already can tell.

          The real ones have allethrin, the eBay no name ones I can't tell but this raid one that has been suggested on YouTube uses Cypermethrin.

          They're all from the same "family" of insecticides.
          Anecdotally similar effectiveness from what I've seen on the few videos I've found suggesting using the no name/non thermacell pads. Though it is concerning that Cypermethrin comes up as more toxic vs allethrin on a quick google? Further reading muddies the water yet again so DYOR and make that call yourself.

          Personally I'd rather go for the raid ones over any other no brand pad. Given you're breathing in these chemicals, you're implicitly trusting that they've put what they've written on there in the specified concentration. Happy to be shown a better alternative but none of the AliExpress/eBay links I've found say what's in them and to what concentration…

            @Kikkoman56: I've done more research after being a bit worried over the increased toxicity and it's put me off getting even the raid ones. I've found the nitecore (4.2 mg of prallethrin and 4.2 mg of dimefluthrin ones are around half the price of the thermacell pads and last 6 hours instead of 4.

            Their toxicity (solely based on LD50 oral in rats) amounts seem favourable, at least versus Cypermethrin.

            Dimefluthrin - 2270 mg/kg
            Allethrin - 1100 mg/kg
            Prallethrin - 460-640 mg/kg
            Cypermethrin - 79-400 mg/kg

            Obviously a rat is not a person and the doses we're talking are still miniscule compared to a human weight. But just based on the above, Cypermethrin (raid/generic) could potentially be >6x more toxic than the Nitecore insecticide and >13x more toxic than the Thermacell insecticide.

    The pads at 12.40 are a good deal too

  • Rosace on 27/12/2024 - 08:51
