As if COVID-19 wasn’t enough, we frequently also have to deal with a concurrent epidemic — dengue fever.
If you don’t already know, dengue killed 32 people last year and unlike the coronavirus, dengue doesn’t have an effective vaccine to curb it.
While there are certain precautions we can take to fend off the mozzies, common options like mosquito repellents and patches are known to be notoriously smelly albeit effective.
Netizens on RED (a.k.a China’s Instagram), however, recently came across scented mosquito coils that are not only pleasant to the nose but also to our eyes.
Adorably made into a tiny coil, these little contraptions are meant to be placed on an incense holder in the centre of a room to repel any pesky mosquitoes.
For it to work, you simply have to burn one end of it to release the fragrant incense that mozzies hate. However, do be warned that this should only be used in well-ventilated areas as advised by the US National Institute of Health.
Apart from being effective and easy to use, these scented mozzie coils are also inexpensive, with one coil lasting for up to three hours. If you’re looking to get one to try it for yourself, check out some of the scented mosquito coils we have rounded up for you.
