Shoo! Amazon's most popular sonic mosquito repeller is $40 for 4th of July

Now that summer is here, you want to get out and enjoy your backyard. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes do, too. You have two options: You can coat yourself in smelly bug spray every time you head outside or you can invest in a handy device that's specially designed to ward off mosquitoes. Interested in the latter option? For the 4th of July, Amazon has slashed the price of the No. 1 bestselling Thermacell E-Series Mosquito Repellent. With the help of this machine, you can get protection from skeeters for just $40, no bug spray involved. (Psst: For even more savings, check out our roundup of over 100 of the best 4th of July sales!)

Time to ditch the smelly bug spray for this unscented rechargeable mosquito repeller.

How does this all work? The Thermacell Mosquito Repellent creates a 20-foot mosquito protection zone. You just plop it in your backyard, pool area or patio, push a button to turn it on, and you can enjoy up to 12 hours of mosquito protection while you hang out.

The device diffuses a special repellent (active ingredient: metofluthrin) that doesn't have a scent — it's just there. Simply use the repellent until the cartridge is empty, and then pop in a new one. (It's also been reviewed by the Environmental Protection Agency for safety and effectiveness.)

The whole thing is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and gives you up to nine hours of mosquito-fighting power. Once you're done, simply use the USB charging cable to fire it up again.

The Thermacell Mosquito Repellent even has a two-year warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee, just in case anything goes wrong.

People rave about how well this little device works to ward off mosquitoes. "Five minutes after I started it up, the bugs just disappeared," said a happy customer. "It's working on gnats and biting flies as well as mosquitoes. I've tried citronella candles, torches, foggers, just about everything, and Thermacell is the only thing that really, really works."

A Florida resident called the Thermacell "the most effective and convenient mosquito repellent on the market." They continued, "I just started using it a few hours ago and am already amazed and shocked at its effectiveness. I had been sitting in swarming mosquitoes on my patio, pushed the on button and a mere few minutes later all were gone! My skepticism kicked in, maybe it was somehow coincidence, so I turned it off. Minutes later the swarm returned. Pushed the button, minutes later, again swarm gone. Completely impressed and satisfied."

Some 10,700 satisfied Amazon shoppers thought it was so effective, they gave it a perfect five-star rating.
