2. Light mosquito coils in the evening or before dark for the best mosquito repellent effect.

2. Electric mosquito coils, liquid electric mosquito coils

Principle: The principle of electric mosquito coils is to absorb the insecticide (pyrethrum) into the paper and use the hot air to evaporate the insecticide. The general efficacy can last for 6-8 hours. Liquid electric mosquito coils can last longer, generally about 60 days.
