It's from the other place, so sorry in advance but... I've been trying to separate them for like 30 years and apparently you can do this....what the hell?
I find them incredibly easy to separate. I get mozzies half of the year leaving the doors open so the dog can go for a wee at night. I use a coil most nights and have broken less than five in a few years of doing this. Pry the tails apart, splitting them off the coil, then gently with each hand pull/jiggle them apart until they've separated, easy peasy.
Lighting them joined together does work, but the lit one singes the unlit one. When lighting the second one it burns for about 1/3 less of the time due to the slight singe through the whole thing.
Fuck /r/australia and it's uptight mods.
