Insects / spiders etc house bomb

Hi,

Bit of a strange question but one that someone shoudl be able to answer quickly, a long time ago there used to be house bombs or triagles that you set fire to to kill insects / spiders etc in your house, I was wondering if anyone knows where i could get on either online or suggest the sort of shops i would find them.

thanks

    I was on holiday abroad recently and remember poeple lightening the traingle things, they had them in various shapes!!

    I was told they were to keep the mosquitos away, they'd place them in high place and let them burn to ashes, I did'nt find them affective though!

    I saw these in a garden centre near me the other day. Do they smell when burnt? And do they kill the spiders?
