Let’s explore the buzzing world of mosquito frequencies. What pitch sends these pests packing? Join the discussion!
I’ve read that mosquitoes are irritated by ultrasonic frequencies above 20 kHz, but I’m not sure if that’s accurate.
I think it varies by species, but generally, they seem to dislike frequencies between 38 kHz and 44 kHz.
From what I’ve studied, there’s no universal frequency that works for all mosquitoes. You might have to experiment a bit.
Yes, some studies suggest that 38 kHz works well to repel them. Might be worth testing multiple frequencies.
Be cautious; prolonged exposure to high frequencies can be irritating to pets. Make sure to test it in a safe environment!
I’m curious if anyone has tried using specific frequencies to ward off mosquitoes and had success?
I tried a device that emitted 41 kHz, and it seemed to work, but the effect wasn’t consistent.
I built a DIY version and found that changing the frequency intermittently helps in keeping mosquitoes away.
Some research indicates that frequencies around 47 kHz can repel some mosquito species effectively.
Remember to place your devices in strategic locations; otherwise, mosquitoes might just fly around them!
I think a combination of sound and other deterrents like fans might work best.
