GoKawiilWIRED tests mosquito repellents and traps for 2026, rates what actually works
WIRED's product testing roundup evaluates personal repellent devices and yard-based mosquito control tools, including the Thermacell E-ZoneGuard E55, a rechargeable device that heats metofluthrin to create a repelling vapor cloud. The review draws on multiple years of hands-on testing of insecticides, vapor repellents and mosquito traps to determine which methods genuinely reduce mosquito presence around homes and yards.
