A mosquito coil is a mosquito repelling incense, usually made 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 center of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent
smoke. A typical mosquito coil can measure around 15 centimeters (6 in)
in diameter and lasts around 7–12 hours. Mosquito coils are widely used
in Asia, Africa, South America and Australia.
Although mosquito-borne diseases are common in many parts of the world,
Malaria is the only human infection known to have been transmitted by
mosquitoes in this country.
Due to improved housing and related environmental factors, the malarial
mosquito now frequents cattle sheds and stables, seldom feeding on human
blood and the possibility of locally transmitted malaria is now
extremely remote. The British climate is not suited to the transmission
of tropical diseases such as filariasis, yellow fever, and dengue.
Some mosquito-borne viruses causing low fevers occur in Southern and
Central Europe, but none have been detected in this country. British
mosquitoes have a nuisance value and, in some cases, cause severe skin
eruption and localized pain. Nevertheless, severe infestations can cause
much distress and are a valid reason for mosquito control.
A trusty product seems important in this regard. Arrow mosquito coils

sleeping, free you from potential mosquito-borne diseases. , there are
