ultrasonic transmitter

I am designing an Ultrasonic transmitter to repel mosquitoes. Will it really work?
Which frequency is the best to transmit at? Please give your suggestions.
 

Re: Ultrasonic Transmitter

Instead of building an electronic device such as an ulttrasounder better concentrate your energy on a mechanical project such as a bat box as:

One of the unconventional methods of mosquito control is the use of electromagnetic, ultrasound devices designed to confuse mosquitoes. It has found use in a variety of devices including a downloadable software which is claimed to thwart the insects using PC speakers. However the effectiveness is questionable since computer speakers aren't designed for high frequency sounds (15-20 KHz range).

Bats are an extremely effective form of natural mosquito control. One brown bat can consume 1200 mosquitoes in an hour. It's easy to build a bat box to encourage bats to live nearby. One averaged size bat box can provide a home for dozens of bats.

Re: Ultrasonic Transmitter

Hi IanP,

Can you give some ideas about creating a bat box? Does this arrangement work everywhere. I have not seen any bats in my area. From where will they come? Please clarify.
