Singapore’s dengue risk means many homes rely on mosquito coils, sprays, and electric vaporizers, but few realize what’s in them, or how often they need to be used to stay effective.

While these methods may kill or repel mosquitoes temporarily, they also come with hidden downsides: smoke, odor, and chemical exposure in enclosed spaces.
 If you’re looking for a safer, cleaner way to protect your family, there’s a better option, one that works silently, 24 hours a day.

The Problem With Traditional Mosquito Control

1. Mosquito Coils and Vaporizers: Smoke & Residue

Most mosquito coils release pyrethroids, a synthetic chemical that paralyzes insects. But when burned, they produce fine particulate matter and toxins, including formaldehyde.
 Long-term exposure — especially indoors — can irritate the lungs and eyes, and may trigger asthma in sensitive individuals.

2. Sprays and Aerosols: Short-Term Relief

A quick spray might kill a few mosquitoes, but it doesn’t prevent new ones from flying in.
 Many sprays also coat furniture and surfaces, and their scent can linger long after use.

3. Plug-In Repellents: Continuous Emissions

Even electric vaporizers emit chemicals gradually — sometimes overnight, when windows are closed and ventilation is poor.

All of these solutions share a common limitation: they react after mosquitoes are already inside your home.

The Smarter, Healthier Solution: Insect Screens

Instead of fighting mosquitoes after they invade, why not keep them out entirely?

That’s where Magic Seal’s Magnetic Insect Screens come in.

They act as a physical barrier by letting in fresh air and natural light while blocking mosquitoes, flies, and other insects.

Key advantages:

• ✅ Chemical-free: No smoke, sprays, or scents.
  
  
• ✅ Continuous protection: Works day and night, without electricity or reapplication.
  
  
• ✅ Health-friendly: GREENGUARD®-certified mesh with built-in Microban® antimicrobial protection.
  
  
• ✅ Eco-efficient: Encourages natural ventilation and reduces reliance on air-conditioning.
  
  

Why Physical Barriers Work Better

Mosquito coils, sprays, and traps all depend on timing and placement and they only work within a limited range and duration.

Screens, on the other hand, eliminate entry points entirely. Once installed, they block mosquitoes from entering your living space in the first place.

This proactive approach has been endorsed by public health authorities worldwide as part of integrated dengue control because fewer mosquitoes indoors mean fewer bites and lower transmission risk.

Perfect for Families, Pets, and Sensitive Individuals

For families with babies, elderly relatives, or pets, reducing chemical exposure is essential.
 Screens are non-toxic, odor-free, and completely safe for children’s rooms and bedrooms.

You can keep windows open overnight for ventilation — without worrying about mosquitoes slipping in.

Complementary Tips for a Healthier, Mosquito-Free Home

1. Eliminate stagnant water every 2–3 days (plant pots, trays, pails).
   
   
2. Use ceiling fans — air movement discourages mosquito flight.
   
   
3. Install insect screens on all high-traffic windows and balcony doors.
   
   
4. Combine with LED lighting instead of UV-emitting bulbs, which attract fewer insects.
   
   
5. Perform a quick mosquito check during rainy months.
