Interconnectable fumigant

A method of dispensing volatile actives comprising the steps of:

• a. providing at least two fumigant elements, each fumigant element including a burnable, elongated body holding an active to be volatilized by burning of the fumigant element, the body having a first connector at one end and a second connector at a location remote from the first connector, the shapes of the first and second connectors being such that a user can join the first connector of a first body with the second connector of a second body in touching interconnected relation such that the second body will be automatically ignited as the first body burns down to its first connector;
• b. assembling the first connector of a first fumigant element to the second connector of a second fumigant element to form a self-supporting interconnected assembly consisting of the two fumigant elements;
• and
• c. igniting one of the joined fumigant elements, of the self-supporting interconnected assembly consisting of the two fumigant elements, at a location distant from its point of interconnection with the other fumigant element.

A kit for forming a burnable fumigant, comprising:

• a first compact mass of material in the form of an elongated first body having a first connector;
• a second compact mass of material in the form of an elongated second body having a second connector, the shapes of the first and second connectors being such that a user can interconnect the first connector of the first body with the second connector of the second body in touching interconnected relation;
• and
• a volatilizable active held on the first and second bodies, wherein the active is selected from the group consisting of insect control actives and fragrances;
• the first and second bodies being so configured that, when the first connector is joined with the second connector in interconnected fashion, one of the thereby attached bodies can be lit so as to burn that body as well as thereafter causing at least a portion of the other body to burn;
• wherein at least one of the first and second connectors is treated with a burn rate modifying igniter material.
