X'Mos FAQs: -

1: How to effectively use the X'Mos Mini Repellent?: -

A) Indoor Use: Spray once in each corner (4 sprays) of a standard room (10 feet x 10 feet). In larger spaces, such as 300 sqft area, 12 sprays are required to spray around the room walls. This provides up to 8 hours of protection from mosquito bites. Typically we recommend re-entering the room after 5 minutes to let the spray diffuse.

Use for baby room / confinement room / nursing room / kindergarten: Spray according to the room size, about 4 sprays in the room corners for the room size within 10 x 10 feet. Let the baby/postnatal mum re-enter the room after 5-10mins sprayed. For the best result of the protection, turn off the exhaust fan and the air purifier. Open window may increase the outdoor mosquito fly in and hiding in the room.

Use in car: Apply 4 to 6 sprays inside the car and re-enter after 5 mins.

B) Outdoor Use: Spray about 5 to 6 times on clothing, pants, shoes, or hats. The active agent will stick to the surface and slowly be released. It can provide up to 2 to 3 hours of protection outdoors (depending on the outdoor weather). For dining outdoors, apply 12 to 16 sprays at the tables, chairs, or objects surrounding to provide 2 -3 hours of repellent protection.

2: How long does a bottle last?: A bottle or a can of X'Mos Mini Repellent can last up to 800-830 sprays or 200 days of use. The consumption of X'Mos Mini Repellent is equivalent to 10 normal aerosol insecticides. There are at least 60% cost savings when using X'Mos Mini Repellent vs the normal insecticide aerosol products.

3: What is the benefit of using the X'Mos Mini Repellent compared to Conventional aerosol insecticide?: X'Mos Mini Repellent is a fragrance-free, odourless, non-oily, non-staining, dry spray, clean, and suitable for spraying in babies or a child's room.

4: How effective is the X'Mos Mini Repellent?: X'Mos Mini Repellent can use for indoor and outdoor. It is effective for up to 8 hours for indoor uses and 2-3 hours for outdoor uses. Please spray on socks, pants, shoes, backpack, or baby stroller for outdoor activities. DO NOT spray directly on the skin to avoid skin irritation.

5: What is the difference between the mechanism of action of X'Mos Mini Repellent vs Conventional Insecticide Aerosol?: X'Mos Mini Repellent allows the anti-mosquito agent particles to settle fast on surfaces and will evaporate into the gas phase slowly over an 8 hour period to prolong repelling and killing mosquitoes. In Conventional Insecticide Aerosol, the anti-mosquito particles float in the air to kill the mosquitoes, once these particles settle down on the ground within 30 minutes after sprayed, they are unable to give any protection against mosquitoes, therefore it requires a larger amount / more dosages and more gas pressure to do the same job. That’s why they are sold in larger large can sizes.

6: What is the difference between the active agent of X'Mos Mini Repellent and the Conventional Insecticide Aerosol?: The anti-mosquito agent of X'Mos Mini Repellent is the latest generation of release control technology (Metofluthrin) vs that Conventional Aerosol Insecticide (Prallethrin and Permethrin), both were classified as synthetic pyrethroids, inspired from natural insecticides contained in the chrysanthemum flowers. The active agent metofluthrin in X'Mos Mini Repellent has a much higher vapour pressure so that it evaporates more easily into the air and does not leave a residue.

7: Why is X'Mos Mini Repellent's volume only 83ml, whereas other aerosol insecticides may reach 600ml to 800 ml per can?: With the only 83ml, X'Mos can be used up to 830 sprays of usage. 4 sprays per day can spray for up to 200 rooms to protect for up to 8 hours. In comparison, other aerosol insecticides of 600ml could spray for up to 42 rooms with average protection of up to one hour only. Most solvent systems in traditional aerosol insecticide products are as hazardous as the active ingredients. That’s why X'Mos Mini Repellent removed all the hazardous solvents and keeps only a tiny part of the gas system to make it very eco-friendly and the safest product available to be used within the house.

8: How much does the X'Mos cost?: X'Mos mini repellent selling price is fixed at RM25.00 per can in West Malaysia, RM30.00 per can in East Malaysia.
