It's a mosquito repellant machine made to look and funkction like a lantern.
Thermacell has one that is quite nice looking.
@Tuss Thanks ! To what model do you refer ? I'm interested in testing out one of those.
Didn't know there were different ones. We only have the patio lantern where I live. But the camping one seems interesting. Looks like it will give off a more practical light.
As I am aware off though the mosquito repellant is good but it will never be as good as the old spirals that you set on fire. Those ones can't be bouggt anymore though so Thermacell is the best repellant we have.
@Tuss Damn, I was specifically looking for something better than the spirals. Too bad. Thanks anyway !
They are better than the new spirals. Nothing can beat the old ones though.
@Tuss Ooooh okay thanks!
I think I need to clarify in Sweden mosquito spirals with Raid have been banned since 2009 or so.
Spirals without raid are shit.
@Tuss I think they're shit too, the effective ones were probably banned in France too. Maybe for the better, being highly toxic things burning in close proximity to people. Non-"volatile chemical" solutions may be a better option.
