audioguru Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi Kasamiko,I don't know of any electronic device to scare mosquitoes away. The ultrasonic gadgets don't work.Over here, we use a lotion with a chemical called Deet. It works well. We also have a device with propane gas that makes a big "cloud" of carbon-dioxide (like what you exhale when breathing that attracts mosquitoes) that traps them in a big area.

ante Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Rhonn,Can this be what you are looking for? http://www.kemo-electronic.de/en/bausaetze/b005/index.htmAnte ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Rhonn, I agree with audioguru. I have not seen an electronic device which works well with mosquitos, either.Here is an interesting article also. This is also not an electronic device, but perhaps you could make an electronic device to distribute it. This might be similar to what audioguru was talking about except it is considered to be more safe than deet.http://www.mosquitobarrier.com/It is actually a mixture of Garlic Juice, Citric Acid and Potassium Sorbate according to the MSDS sheet on the product.In case you want to read more about deet, it is here: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/chemicals/deet.htm#1Perhaps an electronic device which detects the level and sprays when it is low?MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kasamiko Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Sad to hear that. :( So it means all the stuff like this that flooding Googles which claim that they emits sounds like that of a male mosquitoes which scares like hell female blood-sucking pest (maybe she's afraid of miscarriage! ;D) are all HOAX??How about a mosquito trap??Regards to all of you guys..Rhonn ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Rhonn,I have heard from people how have had success with these things, but they are in the frequencies that you can hear yourself (2200 to 3500Hz). So it is a question of who can stand it the longest you or the mosquito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I know. Get lots of bats!I see them every evening (I don't know where they live) but I can't hear their ultrasonic "sonar", and I guess that the mosquitoes can't hear them either. Bats eat lots of mosquitoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yevgenip Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 About The Ultrasound emmiter, It is not effective usualy because any wall or any object in the way blocks it. plus it has a very short range.I would suggest to make like a big diafragm (dont know how to spell it), and make sure there are no objects in the way.I used somthing similar to scare away birds.
