Mosquito Repellent Using Sound Waves?
Jun.21, 2011 in
Fleas
I am currently doing a project which involves mosquito repellent
and i was wondering whether i can use sound waves of a certain frequency to sweep away the mosquito
i have mix review; some says 54Hz, 10kHz, some even say it won’t work
i would love to have a clarification on this thing
is it possible to keep mosquito out by giving out sounds of a certain frequency?
and what is the frequency?
any reference and websites or diagram will be appreciated
Thank you

I know insect anatomy just thinking about this. Mosquitoes don’t have tympanic organs to hear. Although male mosquitoes WHICH POLLINATE PLANTS can pick up vibrations with their antennae, females make the buzzing sound and that’s what a male finds. If you do find a sound wave you’ll only deter male mosquitoes which suck nectar not blood.

I tried one in a practical test (it was a gift) and it didn’t seem to affect them at all.

Mosquito repellence is carried out by an electronic device which produces sound waves in a particular frequency which will be hatered by the mosquitoes.Most of the people are preferring these devices to repell mosquitoes. The other way to keep off mosquitoes is mosquito net but nowadays it is hardly used by the people. To prevent the invading of mosquitoes windows can be provided with wire mesh.

The bloody mosquito I hate them. They do have their place though, they feed a lot of different birds. I even saw a documentary on hummingbirds eating them! They have their place just not in our backyards. I live in Northern British Colmbia and found the propane type traps work really good
