Spira Insecticides: Protection against Mosquitoes

Buying Guide: Which Spira Insecticide Should You Choose?

1. For Interiors (Bedroom and Living Room)

The goal is to protect without unpleasant odors.
Spira Liquid: This is the most convenient system. You plug it in and forget about it for 45-60 nights. It's effective even with windows open and against tiger mosquitoes.
Spira Mat (Platelets): The classic blue plate that changes color when empty. Ideal for occasional use (a single evening).

2. For Outdoors (Balcony and Camping)

Here you need to create a barrier against insects.
Volcano/Spira Spirals: Combustion insecticide. The smoke keeps mosquitoes away within a radius of several meters. Ideal for outdoor dining. Do not use indoors!

3. The BIO and Green Line

If you have small children or pets and don't want to use strong chemical insecticides, look for Spira Green products or citronella candles. They use plant extracts (like geraniol) that act as a natural repellent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are mosquito coils toxic indoors?
Yes, they produce smoke when burned and contain insecticidal active ingredients. They should only be used outdoors or in very large, well-ventilated areas (e.g., an open patio). Never use them in the bedroom.

2. Does Spira work against the Tiger Mosquito?
Yes, most Spira liquids (especially the "Tiger" or "Day and Night" line) are specifically formulated to kill the Tiger mosquito, which is more resistant and aggressive than the common mosquito, and also strikes during the day.

3. How long does a plate last?
A standard pad lasts about 8-10 hours . It should be replaced every night. If it turns white, it means the active ingredient has run out, even if the device is still warm.
