Mosquito-borne diseases like Dengue and Zika remain a global concern in 2026. As travel increases and temperatures rise, effective protection is more essential than ever. KINCHO, the world’s pioneer in mosquito control, continues to protect families with products that blend traditional wisdom with modern convenience.
KINCHO Uzumaki: The Iconic Mosquito Coil
KINCHO has been protecting Japanese households for over a century. In 1890, founder Eiichiro Ueyama invented the world’s first mosquito incense. While it originally lasted only 40 minutes in stick form, his wife, Yuki, suggested the spiral “coil” shape we use today, significantly extending its burn time. KINCHO Uzumaki coils are made in Japan using carefully selected plant-based materials, including natural pyrethrum.
Unlike many imitations, KINCHO coils are famous for their nostalgic and relaxing scent. For those who want something different, Rose-scented and Peppermint-scented versions are also available in 2026. And one full-size coil provides stable protection for approximately 7 hours, making it perfect for use while you sleep or on a balcony.
Ka Ga Inakunaru Spray: The 24-Hour “One-Push” Solution
For a modern, flameless approach, KINCHO’s “Ka Ga Inakunaru Spray” (The “Mosquitoes Disappear” Spray) remains the gold standard in 2026.
Mosquitoes spend most of their time resting on walls and ceilings. This spray uses large particles that adhere to these surfaces. When a mosquito lands, it comes into contact with the repellent and is eliminated.
While early versions lasted 12 hours, the 2026 standard formula now provides 24 hours of protection with just one shot, covering both day-active and night-active mosquitoes.
The spray uses a highly safe pyrethroid agent that is not harmful to humans or mammals. Since the particles don’t stay airborne, the effect isn’t lost even if you open your windows for ventilation.
A single 200-day or 255-spray bottle can protect your room for an entire summer season, saving you money compared to daily electric refills.
Note: Because this is a pressurized aerosol pesticide, it is generally prohibited on flights (both carry-on and checked). If you want a souvenir to bring home, we recommend the KINCHO Uzumaki coils.
