A traditional mosquito coil (katori senko)...a spiral-shaped, slow-burning incense designed to repel or kill mosquitoes by releasing pyrethroid-based smoke into the air.

In Japan it's common to see the traditional 'katori senkō' (蚊取り線香) outside homes and in gardens during the summer.

To combat mosquitoes Ueyama Ei'ichirō (上山英一郎) developed incense sticks in the late 1800s mixed from starch, orange skin, and pyrethrum powder.
