We see CM's only in the summer season and one of them is called pyrethrum coils, produced by KINCHO, the biggest manufacturer. Thier web site is a little funny and it looks nostalgic, like an old theater in Osaka, see here(JP). Althought this website has only a Japanese version, please click anywhere to enter the door and their theater; you might enjoy the KINCHO CMs. Any ways, KINCHO means Golden Chicken and recently, an electrical style is much more useful in keeping away the mosquitoes. I have not used a pyrethrum coil for a long time too, but feel summer has arrived when I see these pyrethrum coils - CM. Some people like them because of it's odour (basically made from chrysanthemum which mosquitoes hates) . Hmmmm, pyrethrum coils is a symbol of Japanese summer still now. If you are interested in readingmore, here is their English company page. Anyway a regular tray for pryrethrum coil is "pig" shape . Why pig? I don't know why.

Easy. The coil looks like a curly pig's tail.
