Thermacell Repellents Inc., a Bedford, Mass.-based manufacturer of highly effective zone mosquito repellents, announced the launch of LIV 2.0, the next generation of its on-demand outdoor mosquito protection system for backyards, restaurants, resorts and senior living. Backed by newly expanded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered claims, LIV 2.0 delivers a large protection zone against mosquitoes and no-see-ums — covering up to 3,140 square feet from a single hub with 10 repellers, without sprays, smoke, scent or mess. That is generally enough to protect a regular pool area, outdoor kitchen, dining space and lounge area combined.
LIV has expanded efficacy claims beyond mosquitoes to include no-see-ums, also known as biting midges (Culicoides spp.), addressing persistent, outdoor pests that can significantly disrupt comfort and enjoyment across residential and commercial outdoor spaces. The new LIV 2.0 was field-tested and evaluated at the Thermacell Science & Research Center in Hampton, Fla., and builds on the proven LIV product line trusted across more than 8,000 residential and commercial installations.
As the U.S. enters peak mosquito season, warmer temperatures and longer insect activity periods are increasing mosquito pressure across many regions of the country. According to surveillance data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mosquito-borne diseases including West Nile Virus, Dengue and Zika continue to expand geographically, increasing demand for reliable outdoor protection solutions for homes and businesses. LIV 2.0 utilizes Thermacell’s scientifically proven spatial repellent technology to repel mosquitoes that may transmit Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), West Nile Virus, Dengue and Zika Virus, consistent with EPA-registered claims.
“Outdoor spaces deserve the same level of comfort as the indoors, without mosquitoes,” Adam Goess, executive director, Global Insights & Innovation at Thermacell, said in a news release. “LIV 2.0 delivers scalable, on-demand protection that integrates seamlessly into how people live, entertain and gather outdoors, without the hassle of spraying your entire yard and reapplying again and again throughout the season.
