The little disk is a PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heating element. It's resistance increases as it's temperature rises so draws less current when it's hot than at start up. Self regulating really. You find them in wax heaters for'aroma therapy as a common example.

I have several of them and yes, it is effective when new. The problem is the top cover which holds the mat in place will get loose in time from the heat generated by the plate. The mat will eventually fall off if mounted sideways. Even if mounted vertically there is no constant pressure pressing the mat to the plate to vaporize all the chemicals in the mat which should turn white from blue after a whole night plugged in.

I bought 2 sets of this. It works. You need to 2 units depending on room size. It does kill mosquitoes and repels them at the same time.

True although I suspect the cost of a peltier module is higher than the design Baygon have come up with and peltiers are notoriously inefficient. But it might be interesting to use a larger peltier to heat 4 pads at the same time or something like that!

Yeah that's a good point, if it's a very large area, you'll need to use more than one. And if there's a lot of airflow it won't work well because the insecticide being released into the air will be dispersed too quickly or 'blown away'.

A thermistor is almost 0 ohms at room temp and quickly heats up and it's resistance goes up high, mainly used in crt tv's for degauss coil. Also used in startup for motors in frigdes.

You don't find these pad heaters to be effective? I'm a big fan of them and have found them to work very well. They're using allethrin which is a synthetic version of an insecticide found in chrysanthemum flowers. I've seen those yellow lights and I've never trusted that they actually do anything.
