I’m not a teenager – will the Mosquito annoy me?
It is very unlikely. People over the age of 25 years have lost the ability to hear this frequency range. It has also been proven to not harm animals.
What is the range of the Mosquito?
30-40m – but the closer you are the better it works.
What is the frequency of the Mosquito?
Teenage only setting = 17KHz

People passing through the area won’t be affected as it takes 5-10 minutes to become annoying. The transmission is directional and won’t travel through solid objects leaving neighbours unaffected.
How robust is the Mosquito?
The unit is housed in a steel vandal-proof casing. Because the unit is mounted high out of reach the risk of vandalism is low.
