FAQs
Are these mats safe to use around food?
The repellent is designed to stay in the air. While generally safe, avoid placing the device directly on food preparation surfaces.
How do I know when the mat needs replacing?
The mat will transition from a solid color to white, indicating the active ingredient has been fully released.
Can I use these mats in the rain?
While the mats themselves may survive light moisture, heavy rain or getting the mat wet will hinder the heating process and evaporation.
Are these mats compatible with all mosquito repellent devices?
They are designed for Flextail EVO and compatible Thermacell-style heat-activated devices.
Do these mats contain DEET?
No, these mats are completely DEET-free.
What happens if the wind picks up?
The repellent vapor will be dispersed, reducing the size and effectiveness of the protected area.
Troubleshooting
The mat is not turning white after several hours.
Check if your device is actually heating up. If the device's battery is low or the heating element is obstructed, the mat will not evaporate properly.
Still getting bitten despite the mat being active.
Ensure the device is positioned upwind of your location and verify that it has had at least 50 seconds to warm up before expecting full protection.
The device doesn't fit the mat properly.
These mats are designed for Flextail EVO and Thermacell systems; ensure you are using a heating platform intended for standard-sized repellent mats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mat, ensure the device is powered off and cool. Slide the old mat out—it will be pushed aside by inserting a fresh mat into the designated slot. Once inserted, activate your Flextail EVO or compatible Thermacell device. The mat will turn from blue to white as it exhausts its repellent properties.
Always store unused mats in a cool, dry place to prevent premature evaporation of the active ingredient. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the mats; once they have changed color to indicate they are spent, they should be discarded in accordance with local environmental regulations.
