How to Choose a Mosquito Vaporizer: Refill, Machine Kit or Multi-Pack

Mosquito Furr Herbal Active++ liquid vaporizer refill on a wooden plinth with green neem leaves

To choose a mosquito vaporizer, first check whether you already own a machine. If you do, buy a refill. If you are starting out, buy a machine kit, which includes a refill. If you use a vaporizer every night through the season, a multi-pack means you never run out on the night you need it.

What is a liquid mosquito vaporizer?

A liquid mosquito vaporizer is a small machine that works with a refill bottle of repellent liquid. You fit the refill into the machine, plug the machine into a wall socket in the room and switch it on. There is no flame, and no coil to burn down. Mosquito Furr makes liquid vaporizers in three Active++ variants: Herbal, Super and Camphor.

Refill, machine kit or multi-pack: which should you buy?

  • Refill (45ML): choose this if you already have a Mosquito Furr machine. Mosquito Furr states on the pack that the refill fits all machines.
  • Machine kit (machine + 45ML refill): choose this if you are buying your first vaporizer. You get everything you need to start.
  • Multi-pack (45ML x 4): choose this if you use a vaporizer every night and want to stock up for the season.
  • Value pack (45ML x 3 + 1 pc): available in the Super and Camphor variants.

How do I choose between Herbal, Super and Camphor?

Mosquito Furr packs are colour-coded so you can find your variant quickly: Herbal is green, Super is red and Camphor is blue. Each pack lists its composition on the label. Read it before you buy, especially if someone in your family is sensitive to certain fragrances, and choose the variant you are most comfortable with.

How many refills do I need for the season?

Check the label for how long one 45ML refill is designed to last. Then count the nights you expect to use a vaporizer and the number of rooms you want to cover. Dividing one by the other gives you a simple number of refills to keep at home. If you are unsure, buy one extra.

Which rooms should I use a vaporizer in?

Most families start with the rooms where the household spends the evening and sleeps: the bedrooms and the living room. Use one machine per room, plugged in away from curtains and bedding, and follow the directions on the pack.
