Effectiveness of Ultrasonic Mosquito Repellers

Beware of marketing scams. Most people have seen advertisements for fancy ultrasonic mosquito repelling devices intended to drive off mosquitoes by subjecting them to repelling ultrasonic vibrations. These gadgets sound great, except for one thing--they don't work. Both scientific and anecdotal evidence indicates that as mosquito repellents, ultrasonic really don't seem to have any effect.

Answer 4

Bought one.  All the mosquito's in the area around me must have been deaf as it had no effect whatsoever.

Answer 5

The problem is that it mimics the sound of the female. Normally this should deter male mossies (and most are)

But in the mating season, it will actually attract them!
