RE: Making A Simple Insect Repellent(Ultrasonic sound producer) Circuit At Home.

in #project7 years ago

interesting project.

But As we know many kinds of insects have their tendency to hear an ultrasonic sound which is very irritating to them.That is how it works as insects repellent

Though this is proved ? I remember there was also a small windows application which was claimed as mosquito repellant

Sort:  

Yes, in my experience it works, but temporarily. I made one this long time ago and tried on cockroaches in my kitchen. It worked great for some weeks but then cockroaches started to appear again. I thought my device might had damaged so made a new one and this time it didn't work. then i concluded by the time cockroaches developed some kind of resistance themselve to bear ultrasound.
thanks for dropping by

oh thats an amazing observation. So this might explain why I was still getting bitten by mosquitoes even after using this small windows program.

Did you try to change the frequency and observed the result ? just curious.

btw, I have nearly forgotten electronics. Being in computer science for engineering made things worse on the electronics front I must say.

No, I didn't try that.
It's really fun to play with these electronics things but it's very hard to make a living out of it(in my country). I have almost stopped it though I am an electronics Engineer lol.
