Ready for the summer buzz

There's one summer discomfort that has yet to kick in: the dreaded mosquito attacks. To help us win the battle over insects, household goods brand Vitantonio has teamed up with Kincho, an insect-repellent manufacturer, to create the Mosquito Buster.

It's a small, stylish device that you can leave in the corner of a room, where it will gently emit a pleasant-smelling mosquito-killing vapor. It runs on electricity and comes with one bottle of insecticide that will last 60 days. Replacement bottles are available in different aromas, such as green tea.

Similar devices have been around for a while, but the Mosquito Buster is that little bit more attractive. Available in black, pink, white or blue, it costs ¥5,250, and you can order it online at partner webstores via the Vitantonio website.
