When it comes to mosquito repellents, the choices are three: pyrethroid coils, electric liquid dispensers, and various lotions you apply to your skin. Each has its advantages and shortcomings and we have all found which suits us best. Until the Japanese company that created the original mosquito coil, came up with the Kincho Shinkatori Mosquito Repellent and changed everything!
The Kincho Shinkatori Mosquito Repellent has all the effectiveness of an electric or coil repellent but without the need for electric power or a live flame: all you have to do is put in the cartridge and turn it upside down so the shutters are open. After that, the air passing through will dispense the anti-mosquito substance throughout any room up 9.9 m2 (106.6 ft2) big and you won't need to worry for the next 200 days! And if you want to make it for another 200 days, you can just order a spare cartridge!
