Compatibility iPhone Requires iOS Regardless if the location is indoors or outdoors, there are not many reports to be found that can help provide good evidence to support their usefulness. There can only be one anti-mosquito app truth and that is: These types of apps are designed to entertain and generate advertisement revenue from ill-informed consumers , who are desperate for a direct solution against possible mosquito bites.
The original purpose, which is the act of repelling blood-hungry insects, is not fulfilled by these types of sound frequency apps. While the creators of such apps will do anything to help you trust in their product, the true purpose of these types of software is to simply fulfill a need.
Platforms like the Google Play Store have applications for literally every single use, and developers will happily fill up a niche that allows them to make some money on the side. And I say this after extensively testing some of them for multiple nights with mosquitoes in the bedroom. I tried different apps, different smartphones, I removed my phone case, I attempted to position the speaker differently. Nothing seemed to annoy or affect those pesky little creatures. So, what would be these sound frequencies that are supposedly able to scare away female mosquitoes from a certain area?
Anti-mosquito repellants use a frequency between 20 kHz to kHz , because this is inaudible to adults. Children are able to hear up to 30 kHz, which can make the sound frequency annoying to them as well. Some users of anti-mosquito apps report optimal results around a frequency of 17 kHz. This would mean that the ideal sound frequency is within the audible range of an average human adult. However, despite the incidental reports, there are multiple controlled scientific tests that dispute the effectiveness of such frequencies.
All tests show no effectiveness of sound frequencies on mosquitoes. There was literally no evidence of any type of change, regardless of the species of mosquito researched. In fact, in one study there was even an increase in the number of bites for a specific species of mosquito. Apparently, the creatures became excited by the sounds and tried biting anything that came near them.
