Mosquito coil

A mosquito coil is mosquito-repelling incense, usually shaped into a spiral, and typically made from a dried paste of pyrethrum powder. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof nettings to allow continuous smoldering. Burning usually begins at the outer end of the spiral and progresses slowly toward the centre of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent smoke.

Advantages:

Modern day Mosquito coils burn without flame for around eight hours. In quantitative tests, they provide about 80% protection.Mosquito coils are also inexpensive and easy to use. They are portable and fit into normal household practices of lighting candles or incense.
