Dispensing devices are disclosed that include a base, a reservoir that has a volatile active, and a housing. The housing includes a horizontal component and a vertical wall extending upwardly from the horizontal component. The horizontal component and the vertical wall define an interior volume of the housing. An activator is operatively connected to the reservoir. When the activator is activated, the volatile active is released from the reservoir into the interior volume of the housing to create a first quantity of volatile active having a first emanation rate and a second quantity of volatile active having a second emanation rate.

1. A dispensing device, comprising: a base;a reservoir disposed within the base and comprising a volatile active;a housing disposed on the base, the housing comprising a horizontal component and a vertical wall extending upwardly from the horizontal component, the horizontal component and the vertical wall defining an interior volume of the housing; andan activator operatively connected to the reservoir,wherein the vertical wall comprises a substrate permeable to the volatile active, andwherein when the activator is activated, the volatile active is released from the reservoir into the interior volume of the housing to create a first quantity of volatile active having a first emanation rate and a second quantity of volatile active having a second emanation rate. 2. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the reservoir comprises an aerosol container or a pump-type sprayer. 3. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the volatile active is selected from the group consisting of a fragrance, insecticide, a deodorizer, a fungicide, a bacteriocide, a sanitizer, a pet barrier, and combinations thereof. 4. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the volatile active comprises an insecticide. 5. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the base or the housing comprises a plastic, a polymer, a fabric, a nonwoven, a cellulosic material, a metal, glass, a manufactured material, a natural material, a recycled material, a reclaimed material, wood, stone, rock, or combinations thereof. 6. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a lid. 7. The dispensing device of claim 6, wherein the lid comprises a porous structure. 8. The dispensing device of claim 7, wherein the lid is disposed at a top edge of the vertical wall. 9. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the activator comprises a sensor-activated mechanical or electromechanical system. 10. The dispensing device of claim 9, wherein the sensor comprises a photodetector, photodiode light detector, a photoresistor, a photodiode, a phototransistor, a microphone, a passive infra-red sensor, or combinations thereof. 11. The dispensing device of claim 9, wherein the electromechanical system comprises a solenoid. 12. The dispensing device of claim 1, wherein the activator comprises a timer-activated mechanical or electromechanical system. 13. The dispensing device of claim 1 further comprising at least one of a fan or a heater, wherein the at least one of a fan or a heater is activated upon release of the volatile active. 14. A dispensing device, comprising: a base;a reservoir disposed within the base and comprising a volatile active;a housing disposed on the base, the housing comprising a horizontal component and a vertical wall extending upwardly from the horizontal component, the horizontal component and the vertical wall defining an interior volume of the housing; andan activator operatively connecting the housing to the reservoir,wherein downward displacement of the housing releases the volatile active from the reservoir into the interior volume to create a first quantity of volatile active having a first emanation rate and a second quantity of volatile active having a second emanation rate. 15. The dispensing device of claim 14, wherein the activator comprises a push button disposed within the horizontal component. 16. The dispensing device of claim 15, wherein the push button comprises a plurality of apertures. 17. A dispensing device, comprising: a base;a reservoir disposed within the base and comprising a volatile active;a housing disposed on the base, the housing comprising a horizontal component and a vertical wall extending upwardly from the horizontal component, the horizontal component and the vertical wall defining an interior volume of the housing; andan activator operatively connected to the reservoir,wherein the vertical wall comprises a substrate permeable to the volatile active, andwherein when the activator is activated, the volatile active is released from the reservoir into the interior volume of the housing to create a first quantity of the volatile active having a first emanation rate, a second quantity of the volatile active having a second emanation rate, and a third quantity of the volatile active having a third emanation rate. 18. The dispensing device of claim 17 further comprising a use cue. 19. The dispensing device of claim 18, wherein the use cue comprises a re-appearing ink, a disappearing ink, or combinations thereof.
