Mossie coil holder Posted 1095 days ago Do you know how hard it is to get an inexpensive mossie coil holder?? Also getting one to last longer than 5 coils is nothing short of a miracle. The hole in the coil is that bloody small, there is hardly anything that will fit it without breaking it. The pottery(rare as hens teeth up this way!)ones and the metal ones in Woolies (UGLY!! and they rust!) are awful and expensive. Any ideas for home made ones that look ok and arent too expensive to make?? Also god forbid if you have kids, that knock it over and break the tiny weak "metal" one in the packet! With the dengue outbreaks up here, we need something!! HELP!! |

RE: Mossie coil holder Posted 1076 days ago We make them from fencing wire and a pair of pliers! OK, they are not art deco but if you have strong fingers and wrists and not too thick wire, you could probably bend the wire into some neat patterns. We generally just make a coil of wire (similar to the actual mozzie coil)and just bend the middle bit up to poke through the mozzie coil hole. May not be cute but could keep you out of trouble till you can find the pretty ones. I know, the ones they come with in the packs are hopeless!! (Put the whole thing on an old saucer to catch the ash.) |

RE: Mossie coil holder Posted 332 days ago Ingenious Inventor Dennis V Pryor has invented the Crochead coil holder. It securely holds broken pieces of coil in the same way a whole coil is held. During burning of mosquito coils it can be laid down flat, stand upright or be hung up off the ground without difficulty. Each Crochead coil holder is handmade from high grade stainless steel in Cairns, QLD. |
