mosquito coil
Spiral bug repellent
A mosquito coil is a spiral-shaped incense that smolders slowly to release smoke containing insecticide or repellent, typically pyrethrin or similar compounds.
The coil burns from the outer edge inward over several hours, providing extended protection against mosquitoes in outdoor or poorly screened areas.
Common throughout tropical and subtropical regions, mosquito coils are an inexpensive alternative to electric repellent devices.
We lit a mosquito coil on the patio to keep the bugs away during dinner.
