Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 13.01.24 - Can high-frequency sounds repel mosquitoes?
« on: 15/05/2013 12:46:19 »
These so called mosquitoe repelers are supposed to replecate the wing movement sound and/or vibration of a certain insect which feeds on them, the insect that eats them I cannot remember at the moment. But I can tell you, I have tried these devices along with vapour killers and flourescent high tension voltage killers, and to be honest, I cannot say any have worked, even DEET soaked wrist bands did nothing. The best way to get a good nights sleep, close all windows and spray room with ordinary fly killer, leave for an hour before entering room, climb into a mosquitoe net, and now sleep. N.B. contrary to what they say about mosquitoes biting at night, I can tell you they bite any time.
