I shifted my base from the city beautiful, Chandigarh to a lesser clean city, Kanpur. My family was not with me and I was accomodated in a 25*15 room in my mess. My luggage was somewhere else and I carried only one suitcase and a bag with me.
The first night was indeed a bad night for me as I did not anticipate that Mosquitoes will trouble me like a hell. Next day, evening, I carried some money and went on an evening walk and then to a big grocery shop near to my Air force station.
I asked for all the brands of Mosquito repellers in the vaporiser form. I had Good Night, All Out and Mortein. All the three had combo offers with different price ranges. I discarded Good Night as it was not at all effective when I used it in my hometown Ranchi. All out was effective but when I compared the price, it was 20 Rupees more than the Mortein. Mortein had claimed that it was now 7 times more powerful than its original version. Not only that, it had a fragrance releasing mechanism too for just Rs 54 as an introductory price I feel.
I went ahead with Mortein Power Guard Vaporizer.
The packing of the machine and the refill was eye catching and convenient with details like Direction for use, salient features, Precautions and contact address- postal as well as mail ID with the web address.
It was night 10 PM. I opened the pack and put the refill in the machine and switched On the system. The glowing indicator in Red indicated the serviceability of the system. I slept as I was tired. Morning when I got up, I had a fresh feeling of good morning. I also felt a mild fragrance.
It meant that no mosquito had `disturbed` me last night !!
I was a satisfied customer of this system as I had good nights thereafter.
The refill states 45 mosquito free nights, which I trust as I have used it for one week and the level of the vaporizer has hardly gone down with daily 7-8 hours of use.
Precautions
- Avoid constant use in closed space.
2 While the system is ON, keep the food and drinks away from it.
- Keep the machine switched off when not in use.
It contains Prallethrin 0.6% more than mats which makes it more effective.
UPDATE:
This system of Mortein is not that effective in bigger rooms in Kanpur!!
Go for it but it`s less value for money.
