Ultrasonic Devices
Ultrasonic mosquito devices repel mosquitoes by emitting a high-pitched noise that is supposed to simulate the sound of the dragonfly, the mosquito's natural predator.
One such ultrasonic mosquito deterrent on the market is the table-top Sunbeam CM160 Electronic Mosquito Repeller, which claims to repel mosquitoes from a distance of up to 75 square feet. Even smaller keychain models claim to repel mosquitoes from an area of 25 square feet. So far, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims.
The majority of these ultrasonic mosquito repelling devices are completely portable because of their small size. They are most commonly sold in wristband, belt clip-on, table-top or in keychain-style models and most operate on one or two AA Batteries.
Electrical ultrasonic mosquito repellant devices are also available in plug-in versions that resemble electrical fuses. They claim to keep an area of up 2.5 square meters free from mosquitoes. Electrical ultrasonic mosquito repelling devices also emit the same ultrasonic waves and plug directly into most two-pronged electrical outlets.
Did You Know?
After a blood meal is digested and the eggs are laid, the female mosquito again seeks a blood meal to produce a second batch of eggs. Depending on her stamina and the weather, she may repeat this process many times without mating again.
According to the majority of consumer reviews, both electric and battery operated ultrasonic mosquito devices are totally ineffective mosquito repellers.
Both electric and battery operated ultrasonic mosquito repellers can be purchased for between $5 and $15 online.
