Lifesystems Mosquito Smoke Coils

I've been having a job finding any shops that sell these in the UK. Finally found here on amazon. Thought I'd add a review since these are so effective at keeping mozzies out. It says to burn outside - but I have to admit, after trying lots of things for my bedroom (where I've been getting bitten to pieces every summer!) I burn these indoors, in my bedroom and by the window. I know it says to burn outside - but I had to find something because I seem to be getting a bad reaction to the bites this year and it disrupts a good nights sleep.These things work better than anything else I have tried. I've tried the plug ins, and I think they work ok, but I have trouble finding a plug in my room that I can use - even so, when I did use them, I still had some mozzies. These coils though, when I burn them in the holder by my window, I seem to have a mosquito free zone and a good nights sleep. I recommend them.UPDATE: Oct 2012..Although I have no problem with the smoke (I only need to burn a few inches of a coil, not much is needed) we discovered that my partner couldn't handle it.. So, SOME people might have sensitivity to the smoke. These things are designed for using outside, where they work equally well btw.. but burning inside means putting them right next to a cracked/open window.Probably shouldn't put this here, but the 'Jungle formula plug in's' are now my ultimate 1st choice after trying lots of things.. You'll need an adapter plug for them, they have the European 2 prong plug - there are UK to EU adapters for a few quid here on amazon.. :) (They're very good & no smoke or smell)

Well chuffed

I love anything that helps to keep mozzies/midges and any flying bugs at bay, these have a slight citronella smell and are slightly perfumy with the added bonus of some insecticide mixed in but are only for OUTDOOR use and should not be used indoors unlike some of the other citronella coils, it comes with 2 metal stands that you slot into the slot at the centre of the coil that is after you very delicately separate the 2 coils apart even if you are gentle the coils are fragile and do break very easily. a whole coil can burn for up to 8 hours, I personally would invest in a coil burning tin or use one that comes with another type of citronella coil that you can buy on Amazon as the spikes to me are basic and look unstable and there is nothing to collect the hot falling ash.

These can be really quite dangerous, the little stand they come with is very flimsy and the coil goes out all the time so you have to relight it.

Brilliant & great service

Perfect

I really did not want to like this product. I hate mossies and night critters and am a firm believer it deet and original Mossie coils. So these pressed cardboard, low odour 'eco' could turn up and I'm prepping for a night of bites and s scratching...Truth is, I don't know if these work or not, all I can say is that when one of these was smouldering through the night, insects were far less of a nuisance. An added bonus is that they don't smell as bad as green Mossie coils and, because they are more like cardboard, they don't break when you separate them.I'm down to the last 3 coils and still have 5 weeks to go in a high malaria risk area... A field comparison with green coils is inevitable.

They work.
