- Really impressed with the Mozfog, it's going to replace the Thermacell that I've been using for the last few years. It's cheaper to run, and just as effective! Its also an Australian owned family business and the insecticide used is a natural plant based product.

MOZFOG are likely going to sell out of all available stock this weekend!
They're setting up an email waitlist popup that you can join to be notified when they're back in stock - otherwise I'll make sure to post on my socials.
The discount code deal for the free 400hr refill will still be active going forward.
Awesome to see so many of you getting behind an Aussie family business!
Is shipping free as your video indicated? Or was that an error in your end? The Mozfog website checkout is charging for shipping.
@@HammerRocks No that's my mistake, MOZFOG do offer free shipping periodically as a promotion. When I screen recorded their website and filmed the video they were running free shipping - but that promo expired today.
The free refill with the discount code is still active though - apologies for the confusion!
@@WildTouring Thanks for clarifying.
@@WildTouring Looks like I got it on right time, as on saturday morning when I ordered stuff there was free shipping for orders over $59.
Thanks for the review Cam, I have been watching Mozfog since Xmas and just wasn't game enough to jump and purchase. Following your review, I shared the info with my fellow ambo's and several more orders were placed! We are all in Darwin and often shoot across to the Kimberley for our breaks so super stoked to give it a try! I may have purchased 3!
Hey Cam! Great reviews!
One thing we've done in the States is get a few blocks of dry ice and set them slightly away from camp. As it melts, it lets off heaps of CO2 drawing those buggers away.
Don't know what your access to dry ice is like there, but it's dirt cheap and keeps well wrapped up in the freezer. Pairing it with one of these types of devices keeps you completely mosquito free. 😊Cheers🎉
Thanks for the review, ordered one for our up coming trip 😊
Excellent review, thank you. Time to place an order!
Cheers cam I’m onboard purchased today love supporting Aussie’s havin a crack 🤙🏻
Yay perfect timing, was thinking of getting the thermacell backpacker, I’ve just put my order in for the Mozfog, thanks for the discount code 👍
Excellent topic! We were just starting to research various options. You have saved us a lot of time. Like you moszies seem to hunt me out and drive me crazy! 😎
Great video Thanks Cam.
Cheers Cam, we've been researching these mozzie things for a while now.
Just ordered the Mozfog. Happy days
Lived in East NT for a few years and the Thermocell was the go..
I have first hand reports of blokes in a boat fishing with three thermocells going on dusk and did not get hit once by mozzies as well as midges.
What was interesting was that one bloke had his shirt off the whole time the Thermocells were going to prove the point...he was the local Camping shop owner..who was proving a point as his shop was selling Thermocells.
Yes you are right, Thermocells and their accessories are expensive to buy..there are "hacks" to original model Thermocell small plastic cylinder gas containers involving removing a valve..then you can refill them like a cigarette lighter. In respect to the pads...other mozzie pads can be used..I use the Mozzie Zapper pads made by Mortein..they do a good job and are cheaper than the Thermocell pads and they can be on special.
Then for some reason...don't camp 3 days before or after a full moon if you can help it..because this is when the mozzies and midges are the worst.
You can sprinkle in fresh Green Eucalyptus leaves into the fire to keep a fine smoke up, not to thick..you can see a purple green colour tinge from the coals and in the flames if you are doing it right.
They had 30000+ years to perfect their camping styles..so who am I to argue...
Thanks Cam. My husband & I were only talking yesterday about looking for an alternative for our Thermacell due to its expensive running costs. Purchased a Mozfog & refill today after watching your review and look forward to checking it out. Really appreciate your recommendation/s and discount code.
Cam . . . I'm commenting cos the first vid I ever saw of yours was the gas refill hack for the thermacell! It was such a game changer to make it wayyyy more affordable to run the thermacell 👌👍
Thanks again for that tip cos I still use it to this day and it's still the same thermacell unit going strong. I have also got a flextail electric model which works pretty well too but the catch with that is keeping it charged up which can leave you stuck whereas the gas is always instant.
Haven't even watched the vid yet but felt inspired to write this because of your og vid 👌 thanks again Cam glad you're keeping it real 👍
Thanks, Cam for the review, and the discount. I have placed my order. Living in Mandurah we too also get hammered by flying 'beastie's!' Will take it to Scotland on my next holiday to see if it repels the dreaded Highland midge! Rob
Agree with the Mozfog - bought mine with the extra battery and juice around the same time as you.
Brilliant unit.
Thanks Cam. Ordered my MozFog yesterday.
Watch your vids. Big fan. Only commenting because I was the first to view. First time ever. Cheers Mate.
Thnx Cam, that’s awesome, ordering one know, cheers Rob. Just tried ordering mate & it’s all Sold Out, the owners will luv u !!
Thanks for the review on the products. We've used theramcel for 3yrs and find them great.(but yes pad replacements are not cheap) But Ive just ordered a MOZFOG now, with your discount code with thanks. Have a great day. Cheers Angela
Thanks Cam for the review of mosquito solutions and Mozfog for the discount! Our kids always getting pinged by mosquito and they welt up and turn into nasty sores, so always looking for better solutions to keep them happy when camping. Cheers!!
I have been wondering which one to purchase for a while now and I always value your advice.
Just bought my mozfog with the discount as like you I get crazy bitten by mozzies. I love most of all that this is an Aussie made!
Thanks Cam
Thanks Cam. Like you my daughter and I get attacked by the mozzies I’ve been thinking of trying the Mosfog. Will definitely getting it after your feedback. As a bonus I can support a small business too. Thanks for your vid’s! Gail
Great review Cam. The very reason I haven't bought the thermocell was cost. The mozfog looks the go. On the next trip bucket list.
great vid cheers mate 👍
Must agree Cam we love our mozfog. We have photos of our dog laying next to it not put off by the smell.
Love my Mozfog. Really happy with ours.
Thanks for the helpful video!
I feel your mozzie pain. They leave hubby alone but love me. Have got thermacell but have been looking for something else. We've just ordered the whole pack. Thanks for the recommendation. Keep up the good work.
I agree with your review. The Mozfog does seem to work much better. I found the other worked OK st the beginning, but now, I dont think it is doing anything. Great video, Cam.
Mozfog, yes please. Just ordered. Cheers Cam.
Sweet. Just ordered the set!
Thanks Cam. Our Moz Fog is on the way 🙌
Hi Cam, great review. We use the old-fashioned mosquito coils they work well for us plus I don't mind the aroma they put out when they're burning. We may, in the future buy the Mozfog based on your review though as it does look to be effective.
Cheers BnB travels
Great review
Awesome!!! Thanks for the video. You should do the same with spray on repellents.
Totally agree Cam. Love the Thermacell but not the price. Ordered Mozfog just now.
That was excellent, thanks
Terrific video mate. I use Thermacell after my cousin was using one on a trip to the Kimberley. Might give the other product a go given it was developed up there.
I have been seeing these on my FB feed and have been curious to know if it’s actually any good as we also run a thermacell but slightly different to your one. I am definitely going to purchase a Mozfog now after this review. Thanks Cam.
Awesome review, we have been using the portable and the backpacker version of the thermacell at home and canping for years.
Thanks for the code, will have to give the Mozfog a crack, prefer to support an aussie company
I live in the states 🇺🇸& really depend on Thermacell when out in the bush. I use the rechargeable models .
The Co2 signature is the reason why I don’t think much of the portable propane fire 🔥 kits that seem to be popular with Overlanders.
They really attract the mosquitoes . 😂
Thank you for sharing.
I bought the Flextail based on a few Aussie CZcamsr reviews. They reckoned it works. My experience is that it doesn't. I feel like I got scammed. I was looking at the Mozfog and now will buy one hearing your experience. Thanks Cam.
Thanks Cam & Mozfog, I have the same mozzy problem and get attacked all the time, order placed and hopefully works for me!
Wow! Thanks Cam for your support. 🍻Mark & Deb
Thanks for the discount fellows.
@Mozfog - hey Mark & Deb. Can you advise whether your product repels midgies too?
The refill is sold out
The discount code isn’t valid
@@Jimmypocketknife85 maybe because they are sold out. I bought stuff this morning without any issues.
I think the cheapest option for me is to invite you camping…the best mozzie repellent there is…😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 best comment!
@@darknstormyimages 😂😂😂👊👊👊👊
Just orded one now, thanks Cam, for the review. we get smashed in Green pt with a Lake on one side and ocean on the other,hope it works
Thanks so very much for this review Cam I too get slaughtered by mozzies and am always reaching out for deet when camping. I have a thermacell, but don't like the cost of pads plus carrying butane with me. @Mozzfog sounds more my style and best part, WA owned company. Have to support local. ❤ cheers Brian
Thanks Cam, I bought two of everything. Hopefully to get a better camp coverage as I found using the thermosel just by itself required very careful placement up breeze. Just got to be careful not to pick it up and attempt to drink it 😆
Cheers mate, I had to go home a week early coz I got smashed by sand flies at moonlight by near pt lincoln, arms and legs, took 2 weeks to stop itching and 6 weeks to heal, I've never had an allergic reaction like that before in over 50 years of camping... have bought the Mozfog thanks for the code
Sand flies are the worst! 😩
Ordered. I'll keep Thermocell for the solo camp trips and MozzFog for the van. Ripper work champ.
I have the thermocell and flextail. I just bought three of these after watching this.
Mozfog is awesome!
Bugs are always a Hot topic, I've been a subscriber ever since i got the 4x4 "bug" years ago , love everything about your channel. I started making my own repellant, melting down candle wax, mixing in ground coffee, pick the one you hate the most and crushed cloves. Once set it actually does work, I also burn the coffee in a heat proof container , I cut a beer can in half and used this, just sprinkle in the coffee grounds , throw in a couple pieces of fire lighters and let it burn , mix it around now and then, its also works well.
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👍 wow haven’t heard of that one before, would be interested to try!
@@WildTouringYour kids can get involved too, fun things to do to keep them occupied 😅
I was wearing Bushmans when fishing in Cairns. I got out of my car after fishing and had black smears down my leg. Turns out it melted the plastic on the centre console
Ive never worn it again. Mozfog is definately on the radar now.
Thanks Cam.
Yeah we sprayed our caravan entry handle a few years ago with deet spray and it melted and shattered the handle! 😳
I am like you anything that bites loves me got a thermocell love it but pads to run it add up quick , thanks for putting up the code ordered one immediately after watching , anything to stop the welts and itching is good by me
awesome. I react terribly like you bud. Just bought a new MDC camper trailer and we live in WA too its in the camping list cheers
Watching this sitting next to my can of Mozzfog😀
Thank you for your recommendation a few weeks ago
Hey mate thanks for the review very informative. Question,can you use the mozfog when charging. Also how long to recharge? Cheers Ant
Try the mosquito bands. Ideal for mosquito invested areas.
Just ordered let's hope this works for my trip up the Kimberley
I've had the thermoelectric for a couple of years and don't feel they work overly well and too expensive as you said. The aldi bought bug zapper I have works fantastic as I have to brush all the dead mozzie off each day.
Thanks Cam, loved the video. I live in Kimberley as well so know the struggle with the mozzies. Just bought the items including extra liquid and the battery pack. Thanks for the discount @mozfog
Thanks Cam, Im the same, get smashed by mozzies before anyone else, just ordered one 👍
Mozfog has to be the best thing for mozzies, ive had for maybe 6 months and used for camping and my back yard, I use it under the alfresco area out the back and 20 min later there's not a bug anywhere 👌
Great review mate!
Curious to know what’s your thoughts on Sandlewood sticks ?
Never had much luck with them but we do use them at home as they smell great!
Just ordered a mozfog- great idea.
Unfortunately they are out of the refills- oh well
Great and useful review thanks Cam. Tried to order but they have already sold out. My email address is on the wait list.
Hi Cam
Wondering what you use inside van besides Deet for mozzies
We purchased a Ozzie mozzie for inside van , but didn’t know until we watched your video that mozzies are not attached to light
I’m the same as you get hammered by them
Thanks great info
thanks for info mate im similar to you anything that bites will bite me lol love your epps
Mosquito coils are great for repelling mozzies, only trouble is, they aren't so good for us. We burn them outside only. RID is what we use for rub or spray on and that really keeps them away but it doesn't smell great. DEET can cause rashes in a few people but it is rare and most medical literature seems to agree that it is otherwise harmless to us. (Just don't get it on your hands if you are fishing) We also run insect killing lights to help. If you itch when bitten by mozzies or sandflies use the hot spoon treatment. Put a metal spoon in very hot water, Leave it there for a few seconds to absorb the heat and then thake it out, wait about 2 seconds then apply the back of the spoon to the bite site. Hold it there until the spoon cools or as long as you can stand. This works for almost everyone as the heat seems to destroy the chemicals that cause the itching. You can buy little battery run devices that do the same job somewhat more safely and scientifically. The Beurer BR60 is one ot the devices that does this. I am happy to say I am immune to sandfly bites YAY!
We use standard mozzie coils at home but honestly I find them useless at deterring mozzies - they do smell nice though! 😁 I just try to limit chemicals that needs to be applied to skin, we sprayed our caravan entry handle with bushman’s years ago and it shattered an hour later 😳 Hemorrhoid cream is great for sand flea bites too 👌 Tiff never gets bitten either, lucky bugger!
@@WildTouring The ones that smell nice don't work, you need the stinky ones LOL
@@WildTouring Oh the sandflies bite me like crazy, I just don't itch at all. One year up at Cleaverville I slept in the back of the old 60 series with all the doors open (it was stinking hot) and in the morning I counted 40 bites just on one arm. The first time I ever got bitten by the little buggers I itched for about 10 days but never again after that.
I run a thermacell backpacker and just buy replacement mats off of ebay for a fraction of the price of buying the branded ones
Cool 👍 but what about the old mosquito coil burning away test 😂 👍👍🇦🇺
Great review. I just went online it's out of stock. Sadly
Odered. Cheers.
Great video. Can't see info on the website about international delivery, want one here in the UK. I'm exactly like you, my genes mean I get absolutely ravaged by them.
Update: the extra refill is out of stock so the code can't be used, and they don't ship to the UK. That's the end of that then i guess.
Darn it. I live in the states and want Mozfog.
I love my Mozfog.
Go one for the wife too. 🤙🏽
Brilliant stuff. I have been using Thermacell for a few years, and I have the same model you have in this video. And I totally agree with your assessment - they work well but expensive to run. So thanks for the review. I had a look at Mozfog and will buy a set with your discount. But is free shipping included (as you indicated in this episode)? I'm being charge for shipping.
No that was my mistake! When I screen recorded the website and filmed the video MOZFOG were running a promo for free shipping (which they do occasionally). That promo ended today. It is flat rate shipping at the moment, and the code will make the 400hr refill free. Apologies for the confusion!
@@WildTouring Thanks. And thank you for sharing a discount code. I've placed my order for the 3 items. Plus, a couple of weeks back, I received the patch I bought off you. It'll stick nicely on the facia of my rear drawers, along with patches of other CZcamsrs, I follow. Cheers.
The Cam I, too, get eaten alive, l came across a product while in far North Queensland a couple of years ago the brand is called Good riddance. They have a range of products great for the kids and those with sensitive skin. Natural ingredients are really good creams for posts, been eaten
Flextail totally agree, bought one from a recommendation from another caravan show. Rubbish. Will give the Mozfog ago thanks for the review.
Do these items also deter flies?
Can you charge and use at the same time?
I too am a fan of Thermacell. I have two types. The one you have on this video, and the handheld version also. And as much as I'm a fan of them as they work well, I do agree with you of their on-going cost. So thanks for bringing Mozfog into my attention. I'm now in the process of placing the order for the complete kit using your code. Though it does not include free shipping (as per your video suggests). Was the free shipping addition an error at your end?
I too am getting charged for shipping. So unsure if this is a website error, or Cam incorrectly indicated shipping is free.
Sorry that was a mistake on my end- the free shipping was not part of my discount code, they just run a free shipping promotion periodically on their website and it just happened to be running when I screen recorded the shopping cart and filmed this video! 🤦♂️
@Mozfog did the free shipping end early? There was a countdown that had enough time to last into Sunday.. The 400 hour juice price went up $10 as well to make it seem like customers are saving more?
I emailed them the same question. It’s a mistake on my end- the free shipping was not part of my discount code, they just run a free shipping promotion periodically on their website and it just happened to be running when I screen recorded the shopping cart and filmed this video.
The free shipping ended yesterday automatically on their website as their stock levels have flicked into low stock.
Hi can any one tell me the area it covers please
Get yourself a bite away for when you do get bitten. Little ceramic pad that heats and you put it on the bite, itch gone in seconds. Only thing that gave me relief from sand flies.
You deserve a beer or two for all the bug bites you got while filming this video. 😂
20% deet. Wow. 🇨🇦
Is that low or high In Canada?
The same brand does a 40% spray, and a 80% cream!
Just tried to order Mozfog. Sold out. Damm
They have unfortunately! If you enter your email address at the bottom of their website they will message you when more stock arrives shortly, and you’ll still be able to use my promo code 😁
Does the Mozfog also work against midgies? I always get smashed by mozzies and midgies once twilight hits.
Have read that it works for midgies too 🙂
The active ingredient Deet is detected in the blood within 20 minutes of rubbing it on.
I must cop them bad, none of them seem to work for me, always 20+ bites on camping trips, got 2 x mozfog with high hopes but no good either.
Drop support an email, we'll get you sorted 👍
i just use a 1LB propane tank on my Thermacell Backpacker
Unfortunately I haven't had the same experience with the MozFog. I tried it over Easter and found it to not work well at all. Switched back to the Thermacell and the mozzies were gone.
I'll keep testing the MozFog but first impressions were not great.
Drop support an email, we'll get you sorted 👍
How many drops of fluid are you using?
The pack that mine came in said to use 4 drops but Mozfog say 10 ( which is what I use)
@@dominicharvey7140 10 drops as per instructions. The vapor does not seem to disperse in the air, just falls around the "can". Like I mentioned, I'll keep trying it. I'm not ready to give up on it yet.
Yeah - sounds like it's not working properly and Mozfog will sort you out.
Good luck
You haven’t been to Jacobs Well yet
Can we buy it in the United States as an option in check out?
Not sure sorry, best to check with mozfog direct 👍
Ihave mozfog. It’s plant based. Can I use it inside my canvas roofed camper and my caravan
I personally wouldn’t run it in an enclosed space, not sure what the official recommendation is though!
Refill is sold out
The 400 MozFog boost is sold out, and the Wild discount code (sadly) isn’t available on any other multiple item purchase.
Hold tight, I’ve just emailed them to ask if they can reactivate it for back order if there is no stock left. Will let you know the result.
Hey mate, all fixed now! They had more available, just needed to update the website which is now done 🙂
Hey Cam and @mozfog, just tried to get one then, and it looks like they're not selling any repellent with them, or the extra bottles? They only have 1 product on their website so I can't use the code. Any ideas?
Gday Nathan, I believe they have a new model coming out so that might be why. Not sure how far away so might be worth flicking them an email 🙂
@@WildTouring OK, thanks!
but the pads on ebay. shipped from Thailand. dirt cheap, same ingredients
