can i use "Mosquito Repellent Coil" in my room because i have read the reviews that says they all used them outside?

No, you can't. They are not to be used indoors. I double checked on the box, and it does say that.
882004
You can use it in your room, but be prepared for the air to be thick and your fabrics will smell like the coil for a while.

I don't think it's a good idea considering there's smoke coming out, and you don't want to inhale it.

I wouldn't use it indoors. Besides the chemical aspect, it has a strong smell to it that would not be pleasing indoors. You might want to try mosquito netting or one of those homemade mosquito traps instead.

Although it is clearly not recommended, I grew up inhaling these in the confines of automobiles in drive in movies, which is what they were invented for. I'm still here and burn them almost nightly in my bedroom. You can choose to be afraid of everything, or not.

I wouldn't. They put off a bit of smoke & the odor is fairly strong even outdoors and would likely be very annoying in a confined space.

This is intended for outdoor use. Mosquitoes indoors is a whole 'nuther problem.

MLH, as I read on the instructions the device should only be used outdoors. It does have a gaseous odor so we don't think it would be wise for use indoors. The lantern would probably be effective in the garage if it was properly well ventilated but I would have to refer you back the instructions which also doesn't recommend indoor use. The lanterns seem to work better than the portable and they don't attract mosquitoes but repel them. We use the lanterns on our back deck in the summer and they seem to work well but you have to activate them about 15 mins before you plan on enjoying the outdoors. Hope this helps. Jan

Don't really know. You can probably find that in the product info, or perhaps someone else will chime in. I have one but haven't used it yet. :) However I'm sitting on my patio right now with the small ThermaCELL unit going and I am enjoying a mosquito free morning.

it works indoors and I only use it for the mosquitoes that get into the house when we open the doors, and then go to my computer room , I guess they like the warmth of the machines, I have it on a timer for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, and it works.

Joel, my experience has not been that much coverage (AlexG's response). I use two coils to cover the area of patio where we sit in the evening which is about 12x8. You do have to move them a bit away from you, or the smoke will be unpleasant. They do work pretty well, but they break easily. Be prepared to be creative with how you prop them up.

I would not recommend doing that. The strip gives off vapors which can be disturbing if a person is subjected to them for prolonged periods. Also, the vapors are an insecticide which can be unhealthy over time. I use the strips in my basement and in contained entry halls where flying insects can gain access to the house but where people are only briefly.

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity.If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

Where I am currently doesn't have a mosquito problem. But my friend in Louisiana uses it as a cutting oil in a mix of lemon grass oil and neem oil for a natural repellent for her kids. She swears it works...

If you meant is the mosquito repellent aroma generally safe around children, then I believe the answer is Yes, it is safe. But if you're worried about a child plucking this device out of the wall socket, then this is definitely a danger.

Will not work well on a breezy day but the mosquitos don't fly well on a breezy day. First used this type of coil in South East Asia. (1966) Found them to be great. This brand works as well.

It helps to keep them mosquitos away for awhile...then they seem to get used to it. Just used it at a soccer game in a river town last week and my husband and I were much more comfortable than many others. It was better than not using anything. I will say that this works pretty well for gnats and smells good. Absorbine Jr. (muscle and joint topical liquid) works much better for mosquitos, but is stinky. You can find it in the OTC pharmacy department at WalMart or Walgreens.

no I would use it outside only, if you use indoors you will have dead bugs falling all over the floor.

I wouldn't use these for anything, anywhere. They are completely unreliable. I ended buying these instead: Woods 13569 Indoor Plug-In Wireless Remote Control w/ 3 Outlets, White They work perfectly. Go with that. And make sure they don't get wet like G. Stricklin mentioned.

Both in and out-I believe you can pull up a copy of the label for application instructions. I also sprayed all the bushes around the house where mosquitos tend to gather and had virtually no bites the whole summer! I believe that I got effective 1 year protection inside and out. It's good stuff!

Technically you could use it inside the home, but it would smell really minty. It's best to use outside.
