    Abstract: Disclosed herein are mats for dispensing volatile vapors such as insecticides. The mats are multi-layered. One layer is a carrier layer impregnated with the volatile. It is secured to at least one metal layer. The metal layer spreads the heat from a heater, thereby minimizing hot spots.
