My 4-yr. old grandaughter wants to know if singing will make mosquitoes go away?

Question

Seriously, she wants to know and asked me to ask on yahooanswers. We talk a lot while I visit through YA.

Answer 1

When I sing, everybody goes away.

Answer 2

no i don't think so. why doesn't she try it?

Answer 3

Thats cute, but i doubt that it will keep mosquitos away.

Answer 4

Mosquitos don't have ear drums! sorry sweety, however if you clap your hands.... while you are singing, you might get rid of some..... ;)

Answer 5

I doubt it. Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, which would be produced in abundance if you're outside singing.

Answer 6

No. The only way to make mozzies go away is to mask the scent of sweat (using DEET, cintronella, etc.) or use a device that emits carbon dioxide to simulate a living thing (and then zap them).

The sonic devices do not work. Singing to them definitely does not work.

Answer 7

My singing ATTRACTS them. They stop buzzing and sit down in a semi circle with rapt attention. It's very cute to watch.

Answer 8

NOO....

Answer 9

i don't think so =)

Answer 10

Answer 12

Answer 13

Hahaha,,,,no, they won't go away. but will be attracted by the heavy breathing during singing. But she might ge to eat a few of them though during her performance,,,,,

Answer 14
