Thermacell LIV 2.0 Review: Taking My Yard Back

YOU ARE GOING TO THINK I AM MAKING THIS UP BUT FIRST THIS GUY MOVED TO TEXAS FOUR YEARS AGO AND GOT COMPLETELY EATEN ALIVE BY GIANT MOSQUITOES SO HE SPENT FOUR FIGURES A YEAR ON A GUY BLASTING A PESTICIDE CANNON THAT ONLY WORKED FOR SEVENTY-TWO HOURS AND THEN HE REVIEWED THIS SEMI-PERMANENT THERMACELL LIV RIG TWO YEARS AGO AND NOW THEY SENT HIM LIV TWO POINT ZERO TO TEST WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THE BRAINS OF THE SYSTEM ARE WI-FI HUBS CONTROLLING DAISY-CHAINED EMITTERS OF METOFLUTHRIN UP TO TWENTY FEET APART WHICH DOES NOT EVEN KILL THEM IT JUST CHASES THEM OFF AND THE NEW HUBS HANDLE TEN REPELLERS INSTEAD OF SIX WITH TWO CABLE PORTS SO NOW COVERAGE IS FASTER AND THE THING IS IT IS PRICIER THAN EVER AND REQUIRES PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION. ANYWAY THAT IS THE SHORT VERSION, ASK ME LATER.

THE GROUP CHAT IS LOSING IT OVER THIS BECAUSE NOW YOU APPARENTLY HAVE TO GET PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION FOR A YARD SYSTEM THAT COSTS MORE THAN EVER AND THE THING IS THERMACELL JUST SENT WIRED THEIR NEW LIV TWO POINT ZERO HARDWARE WHERE THE WI-FI HUBS CAN BRANCH IN TWO DIRECTIONS AND RUN TEN REPELLERS INSTEAD OF SIX WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE IT ALL STARTED FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN THIS REVIEWER MOVED FROM CALIFORNIA BACK TO TEXAS AND GOT ABSOLUTELY BEPOXED BY THIRSTY MOSQUITOES SO HE PAID THOUSANDS A YEAR FOR SOME DUDE TO BLAST FOLIAGE WITH A BACKPACK CANNON THAT FAILED AFTER THREE DAYS AND SO NOW HE HAS SIX DAISY-CHAINED VIALS OF METOFLUTHRIN PUFFING A PERIMETER AROUND HIS SWIMMING POOL TWENTY FEET APART TO SCARE THEM OFF INSTEAD. OK YOUR TURN, TELL ME SOMETHING.

Wired reviewed the Thermacell LIV 2.0, an upgraded semi-permanent mosquito repellent system that supports more repellers but is more expensive and requires professional installation.
