I assume this frequency drives mosqitos crazy, and humans cant hear it. Sounds like a great idea, although i wouldnt imagine paying money for it.

I have a hand held 2m ham radio with that feature built in and it does not work on La. or Tx. mosqitos at all.

i can see the mosquitos now with their little wireless headphones, probably changing the frequency every once in while just for grins.

Truth

Aren't Mosiquitos DEAF like bees? The US army has a skeeter repeller/catcher but it works with propane to produce CO2, which is what they are attracted to.

i'd thought the mosquitos would be attracted to the light given off by the pda screen...

LOL OMG this is a crazy program if it works

I saw this on another site. Seems to be that those in the know electonicly wise doubt that a hand helds speaker will generate the frequency required to make this work. But I have not seen anything that makes me beleive that the whole theroy will work anyway.

No need for it. For all practical purposes there are no mosquitos in the Seattle area. They breed in shallow, stagnant water and most of the water here is deep or fast moving. Or falling from the sky!

I'm pretty sure 9kHz and 16-20kHz are within standard human hearing range (~20Hz - 20kHz), so this program will probably drive you crazy as well (assuming you still have good hearing...). I'm also not so sure how well the internal Axim speaker would play these high-pitched noises...
