i have one you can have for free if you want to come pick it up from near Hanti Station- Bundang line (walking distance from Seoulleung on line 2). I got it on auction.co.kr for about 9,000won incl. delivery, so they're not expensive. Alternatively, all I use is one of those plug in things from a convenience store. Worked a treat for me last year. You can't even smell them and no mosquitos to speak of in a studio-sized room.

E-mart and Homeplus have them.

Nice weather, but it's THAT time of year again! Sad

My CT reckons they work as well. If they do it's a lot better than having to put a net up ever night.

What do they actually contain, is it like a DEET air freshener?

Hmmm...good question. One I would like to know the answer to if anyone knows. I just know they worked really well for me last year. The only downside is it says it lasts 48 days but I think it was more like 30. I only realised it was empty when there was a mosquito buzzing in my ear one night.

No problem. I bought it, then decided that I couldn't be bothered trying to work out how attach it to the ceiling without tools and without making my landlord mad.
