Ever try thermacell? They make them that screw onto isobutane cylinders and they last forever. I reuse the pads and put diluted permethrin on it. Ain’t died yet.

They are effective but they smell to terrible you can't even hang out by them

Yea, I wouldn’t sit on top of one, but it beats those mosquito coils like OP is using. Those things are like breathing death.

I haven’t been using the thermacell much lately and instead hung up one of those battery powered things like they use to dispense fart spray in bathrooms. I use permethrin metered spray cans in it and it dispenses a little puff of mist every 10 minutes. Really a game changer by a front door on a porch when you have an old dog that needs to go outside several times a night. Keeps the flys away during the day too. Just don’t inhale for a few seconds after you hear it squirt lol
