1.2m Livestock Mosquito Stick: Scenarios and Dosage
When choosing a coil spec for farm mosquito control, the 1.2 m long stick is the most common workhorse. What scenarios suit the 1.2 m livestock mosquito stick? How long does one stick burn, how much area does it cover, and how many come per carton? This article uses MUWEISHI's 1.2m livestock mosquito coil specs to explain long-stick scenarios and dosage planning, helping farms stock accurately.
1. Core Specs of the 1.2m Long Stick
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Length | 1.2 m |
| Burn time per stick | About 8-10 hours |
| Coverage per stick | About 60-80 sqm |
| Quantity per carton | 400 sticks/carton |
| Scenarios | Large pens, open farms, overnight protection |
The core advantages of the 1.2 m long stick are "long duration, wide coverage." One stick burns about 8-10 hours, covering a full night (dusk to early morning); coverage of about 60-80 sqm fits medium-to-large pens and open farms.
2. Applicable Scenarios
1. Large Pens
Finishing pig houses, broiler houses, and finishing cattle pens often exceed 60-100 sqm per pen. One long stick covers a pen, with simple placement and easy management.
2. Open Farms
Open cattle and sheep pens and free-range chicken farms have strong ventilation and incoming mosquitoes. The long stick's burn time provides overnight protection without repeated re-lighting. See Cattle and Sheep Farm Mosquito Coil Plan.
3. Overnight Protection Needs
Light one stick at dusk and it burns until early morning, with no night-time inspection or re-lighting-saved labor. This matters most for farms with active night mosquitoes and tight staffing.
4. High-Temperature High-Humidity Season
During peak summer heat and humidity with mosquito and fly outbreaks, the long stick paired with the strong formula handles high-density mosquito environments with sustained overnight suppression.
3. Dosage Planning and Stocking
Take a mid-sized pig farm as an example:
| Pen | Area | Sticks | Nightly Use | Monthly Use (30 nights) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finishing x4 | 80 sqm/pen | 1/pen | 4 | 120 |
| Sow pen x2 | 70 sqm/pen | 1/pen | 2 | 60 |
| Nursery x2 | 25 sqm/pen | 1 short/pen | 2 short | 60 short |
| Total | - | - | 6 long | 180 long |
One carton of 400 long sticks covers about 2 months of long-stick use for this mid-sized farm. When stocking, estimate as "mosquito-season months x nightly use" and reserve 10%-15% buffer for mosquito peaks. For small-space spot control, pair with the 45cm short stick.
4. Formula Pairing and Usage Tips
The long stick comes in three formulas:
- Standard: Basic and efficient, the cost-effective first choice for daily control
- Wormwood: Mild and low-irritation, preferred for sow and young animal pens
- Strong: Stronger formula for high-temperature high-humidity and high-density environments
Usage tips:
- Placement: One long stick per 60-80 sqm, on a dry floor downwind in the aisle
- Timing: Light at 17-18:00; burns until early morning
- Ventilation: Brief smoldering after lighting improves effect, then restore ventilation
- Safety: Watch for fire, do not use in strong wind or under fans, seal and store away from moisture after opening
A common mistake is under-stocking for the peak season. Mosquito pressure in mid-summer can be 2-3 times that of early summer, so farms that stock only for average nights often run short in July and August. A practical approach is to calculate average nightly use, then add a 20% buffer for peak weeks. Also note that coils stored from the previous season must be checked for moisture-any dampness affects burning stability and efficacy, so always keep unopened cartons sealed in a dry store-room. For farms with mixed pen sizes, pairing the 1.2 m long stick with the 45 cm short stick gives full coverage: long sticks for large pens and overnight protection, short sticks for nurseries and dead corners. This combination avoids both under-protection in large pens and smoke over-concentration in small spaces.
5. Why Choose a Source Factory
The 1.2 m long stick is a high-volume consumable, so stable supply and consistent quality matter as much as price. Buying from a source factory removes middle layers, giving transparent pricing, steady batch quality, and the option to customize formulas and packaging for large orders. MUWEISHI's parent factory in Yiyang, Hunan has produced livestock mosquito coils since the brand launched in 2018, with stable burning, a high ignition point that resists breaking, and a green, safe formula suitable even for pregnant animals. See the factory page for production details.
The 1.2 m livestock mosquito stick is the top spec for overnight protection in large pens and open farms. With 400 sticks per carton, about 8-10 hours burn per stick, and about 60-80 sqm coverage, paired with three formulas it covers daily, sensitive-group, and high-density scenarios. Source factory direct sales ensure stable burning and a high ignition point that resists breaking. To learn about specs and customization or get a quote, contact us.
