Title. Mostly in comparison to sprays you apply to your body/clothes that never seem to work that well but those bloody blue tabs seem to be basically 100% effective within the room they’re being used in…

Some chemicals are great at repelling insects….but are also strong irritants.  So spraying your body would cause issues.

Heat activation is common for turning solids into gasses which are easily dispersed in an area
