what is the anti-mosquito liquid filled in All-out evaporator?can we refill?

Question

elecric evaporaotrs like All-out pots use an anti-mosquito liquid which evaporates through a carbon wick. I wish to refill the pot with other brands like malathion to save the bottle,wick and cost. Can I do it? what is the original liquid,chemical name, used by goodnight, allout etc companies?

Answer 1

It is prallethrin liquid by chemical name. It is used as 1.6% w/w liquid as an anti-mosquito liquid. If either prallethrin or malathion is cheaper than their brand products, you can try. But how long the wick can be used, we cannot say.
