Explaining the Best Way to Use Mosquito Coils: Why Is 'Kincho Coil' Effective Outdoors?
The season when mosquitoes truly begin to increase is here. You will be spending more time outdoors for gardening, farm work, and outdoor activities.
What you might be concerned about is "mosquito countermeasures." This is where the traditional mosquito coil 'Kincho Coil'. comes in handy. In fact, this product is very logical for mosquito countermeasures outdoors.
The secret lies in the 'smoke'.
Mosquito coils are effective for outdoor mosquito control!
Outdoors, the space is wide and there is wind, so to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes for a long time, it is necessary to continuously spread the active ingredients over a wide area.
That is why we recommend mosquito coil 'Kincho Coil.' The power of the smoke spreads the active ingredients, exerting an effect that keeps mosquitoes away from the surrounding area.
When spending a long time outdoors, such as for gardening, farm work, outdoor tasks, camping, barbecues, or playing in parks and gardens, using a mosquito coil is extremely effective.
The reason mosquito coils are effective outdoors is because of the 'smoke'
In a mosquito coil, the active ingredients volatilize from the area near 6-8mm before the burning part (where the temperature is 700-800°C) (where the temperature is about 250°C).The active ingredients spread on the smoke and are effective against mosquitoes over a wide area.
While smoke may be 'smoky' to people, it is actually excellent at diffusion. In the outdoors where space is infinitely wide, the diffusion power of smoke plays a major role in delivering active ingredients over a wide area. It is not easy to replicate this diffusion power with other methods.
Because of the smoke, mosquito coils provide not only an insecticidal effect against mosquitoes, but also a repellent effect that makes it harder for mosquitoes to approach outdoors, and by placing them at the boundary between outdoors and indoors, they exert an excellent intrusion prevention effect into the indoors.
How to use the mosquito coil 'Kincho Coil'
How to separate the mosquito coil
A mosquito coil consists of two coils joined together. When using, separate them one coil at a time.
The trick to separating them is as follows.
・Lightly press the center of the coil up and down
・Pinch the center part from above and below
・Slowly separate the two coils
If you pull them forcibly, they will break, so the key is to gently wiggle them to separate them from the center.
How to light a mosquito coil
Point the tip of one coil downward and light it, and once a flame appears, extinguish the flame and let it smolder gradually.
A mosquito coil is effective by 'smoldering the smoke' slowly.
Where is it effective to place a mosquito coil outdoors?
The point when using a mosquito coil outdoors is to place it upwind from yourself.
Also, in places with many mosquitoes, it is recommended to place them in two locations. If you place them in two locations 1-2 meters apart so that they sandwich your location, the range where the active ingredients spread will increase, and you will get a stable effect even if the wind direction changes.
When spending a long time outdoors, such as for gardening, farm work, or outdoor activities, please be creative with where you place the mosquito coil while watching the wind direction!
A 'hanging mosquito coil holder' is convenient for farm work and garden work
When working while moving, such as doing farm work or gardening, the “Kincho Hanging Mosquito Coil Holder” is convenient. You can sandwich the mosquito coil between the nets and hang it from your waist to use it. Of course, it can also be used by placing it down. Furthermore, the nets used in KINCHO mosquito coil holders and the mats attached to the back of the lids of 'Kincho Coil Canned' are made of
safe glass wool. (KINCHO mosquito coil holders have never used asbestos.)
Why are mosquito coils spiral-shaped?
Kincho is the originator of mosquito coils. Originally, they were stick-shaped like incense for Buddhist altars and would burn out in about an hour. Therefore, they were made into a spiral shape so they could be used while people were sleeping.
The spiral structure, where two coils are combined into one, has basically not changed even today. Over a century ago, the shape of the mosquito coil had already reached its near-perfect form.
'Kincho Coil' is left-handed!
In the past, 'Kincho Coil' was made by hand-rolling two soft stick-shaped coil doughs at a time. Hand-rolled coils were right-handed, but when they started being punched out by machine around 1957, they became left-handed to distinguish them from other companies' products.
Traditional mosquito coils are still recommended for mosquito control outdoors today.
