ECOmist E4 250ml AEROSOL Natural Insect Killer

A can of Ecomist Insect Killer is screwed into the dispenser. You then choose the program that you want to run (high, medium or low) then position the dispenser on a wall or stand it on it’s stand somewhere high up (at least 2m from the ground and 30cm from the ceiling). The dispenser sprays very small amount of Insect Killer with Natural Pyrethrins (see below for more info on pyrethrins) into the air at specific intervals (4, 7 or 15 minutes).

The pyrethrins circulating in the air kill any insects that come into contact with them but they are also a very effective repellant (insects find it extremely irritating). For example, sometimes when people first start using an Ecomist dispenser, they notice an increased amount of cockroaches because they find the pyrethrins so annoying that they come out of their hiding places during the day (we call this the flushing action of pyrethrins). Once they are out of their hiding places the insects are killed by the pyrethrins.

Pyrethrins are a natural insecticide that break down very quickly in daylight – that’s why the dispensers constantly release new amounts into the air. That property also means that your home is not left with active insecticide residue all over the surfaces. With the dispenser running, the area in which it is operating effectively becomse a no-go zone for insects.
