The active phase of the life of mosquitoes begins in the middle of spring. The first insects wake up in ventilation and sewer premises of apartment buildings and begin to literally terrorize the residents. Moreover, not so much a painless bite is annoyed as an unpleasant ear of the sound that the mosquito makes when moving. Therefore, many repapels of these insects were invented.

Methods of combating mosquitoes
The bite of even the most seemingly harmless mosquito can provoke the appearance of unpleasant consequences. A mosquito bite is not only obsessive and difficult to stop itching. During intensive combing of the affected area, there is a possibility of an infection in a wound of various kinds of infections. And sometimes, these insects are the peddles of a terrible disease - malaria.
It is extremely necessary to deal with mosquitoes and other blood -sucking insects. Mosquito saliva, which he injects into the skin of a person, can contain not only dangerous infections, the female insect can lay eggs into human skin. Therefore, the use of reliable protective equipment in the fight against mosquitoes will become the key to your health and comfortable existence.
As their victims, these insects, first of all, choose children's thin skin and too sweaty skin of adults. Mosquitoes are especially active, when the surrounding air temperature is 16 degrees of heat, but they are powerless in the 28-degree heat. In a room with dry air, mosquitoes lose moisture and, accordingly, their activity.
Nowadays, people have learned to fight squeaky pests, this is also evidenced by the presence of various means of mosquitoes on the shelves of stores. By its type, such funds can be divided into such groups:
- Fumigant. Liquid, gaseous or solid chemicals that destroy insects due to penetration into their respiratory tract. Such drugs are strong insecticides for insects and are almost non -toxic for people and animals. Some species can partially cause stomach disorder in humans and a disorder of the nervous system.
Fumigants include compounds such as sulfur dioxide and sulfur oxide, naphthalene, ethylene oxide, drugs containing synical acid. In stores, fumigans are sold in the form of steaming spirals and plates soaked in insecticide. Such plates are set on fire and smoke process the room. Smoke with a caustic smell is not the liking of insects, as it acts destructively on them. Experts recommend using fumigants in the premises.
- Repellates are scaring remedies that are produced in the form of creams, napkins, lotions and gels.
By the type of exposure, repellents are classified into the following groups:
- capable of changing the smell of human skin and, thus, bring down the orientation of insects;
- frightening mosquitoes and preventing the possibility of planting on the skin.
These funds can be used as a protection of both the whole team of people and one person. On the street, surrounding shrubs are processed. If this is a tent, then the input holes are processed.
There is also special protective clothing for people who often or constantly have to stay in a mosquito zone. Such a miserable clothing is made of a very dense material, which is extremely difficult to bite a mosquito.
Separate types of repellents are designed to apply to hair, clothes, skin and face, avoiding the area around the eyes and getting into the mouth. It should be remembered that on freshly bombed skin, repellents cause burning sensation. It is worth noting that creams from mosquitoes protect more effectively than fumigant's steam plates. The irrigation of the skin is carried out by aerosols, which include repellents. Such funds are ineffective in the fight against fleas, flies, bugs, ants and moths. Repellates are recommended to be used on hikes, on picnics and walks.
- Folk remedies. It is not necessary to use chemistry to fight against mosquitoes, you can resort to the use of folk methods. There is a set of certain plants whose smell is not tolerated by mosquitoes and other insects:
- seedlings of tomatoes. Komarov scares away this smell;
- cloves, anise, eucalyptus;
- cedar oil, valerian, tobacco smoke is also scared away from the house of insects;
- if you spray a small amount of carbolic acid in the apartment, then for a long time you can forget about the presence of obsessive mosquitoes in your apartment.
- Ultrasonic scarecases. An effective tool in the fight against ubiquitous insects.
Squeezing mosquitoes occurs due to a small sound (up to 7kHz), which makes the device. Such a sound imitates the buzz of mosquitoes and scares away females, they directly drink blood. The frequency of the device can be adjusted individually. The electronic repeller of mosquitoes has a short range of action, and therefore it is better to use in individual cases, for example, attaching a keychain with ultrasound to clothing. With such a device, you can walk on the street in the evening, relax in the summer gazebo and not be afraid that your leisure can ruin blood -sucking insects. When choosing a mosquito ultrasound on the market, you should pay attention to the radius of its action and purpose.
Brighter or fighter of insects
All existing devices to combat mosquitoes differ in design, size and radius of action. Some are aimed at scaring insects with high frequencies, while others are aimed at destroying them with an electric discharge or by dehydration.
The main differences between the two types of spammering frighters are noted below.
- Use in a closed room:
- closed space does not give mosquitoes for exit, therefore - the repeller should be on constantly;
- the fighter destroys mosquitoes, after which it can be turned off.
- Open use:
- repeller. Insects will quickly leave the room;
- fighter. With open windows, mosquitoes will constantly fly into the room.
- Impact on insects:
- repeller. Acts both on mosquitoes and beetles and spiders;.
- fighter. It acts destructively only on flies, mosquitoes and other flying.
- Radius of work:
- the repeller is up to 100 sq.m;
- fighter - up to 1000 sq.m.
- Impact on mice and rats:
- mice and rats irritates the fringing ultrasound;
- the fighter does not affect.
- Impact on pets:
- pets scares ultrasound;
- the fighter practically does not affect.
- Impact on a person:
- an irritating repeller operates on a person with a hearing aid;
- the fighter practically does not affect.
- Water resistance:
- the repeller does not have such a property;
- in some models of the fighter there is a protection against water.
- Periodic inspection:
- the repeller does not need to be examined;
- after a while, the fighter must be cleaned of insects.
- The need for repair:
- sometimes the reputation of the repulsioner breaks. In this regard, it is necessary to purchase a new device;
- the fighter lamp periodically blocks. It can be easily replaced.
- Work on the street:
- the scammer of mosquitoes for the street does not lose its protective properties in the open air;
- in the room, the fighter works with a great effect than on the street.
The choice of ultrasound fright of mosquitoes
Before purchasing an ultrasonic repeller, it is important to decide on the task that the device should perform. Either it will be protection from insects in an apartment or a specific room, or you are going to use the device during street walks.
Each device performs different functions aimed at fulfilling specific goals: scruising of mosquitoes, flies or dogs. Therefore, when choosing a product in the store, carefully study the instructions and basic purposes of electronic repeller.
The instructions should also be clearly spelled out whether the device is suitable for working in the room, or its work is aimed at protecting from mosquitoes in the street.
There are also universal repeller for use in industrial conditions. The radius of the action of such devices applies to several kilometers. The cost of these devices is much higher than household repeller.
In order not to make a mistake in choosing and secure the most comfortable living conditions in a room without insects, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with its appointments and principles of work before buying an ultrasound repulsioner of mosquitoes.
With your own hands
If you do not trust the industrial ultrasound devices for scaring insects, and also consider chemical fumigants to be harmful to health, you can easily manufacture mosquitoes with your own hands, especially since today it is no longer an outlandish invention, and the scheme of any device can be found on the Internet without difficulty .
Below is a universal scheme of the fright of mosquitoes, which you can use when creating your device.
Together with the circuit breaker-tumbler and protective diode, 13 elements are displayed in the diagram:
- resistor ( R1-R5);
- variable (R6);
- piezo -emitter (BQ1);
- transistor (VT1-VT2);
- capacitor (C1-C2);
- diode (VD1);
- tumbbler (S1).
The frequency of the ultrasound repeller is adjustable using the resistor R6. As a power source, you can use batteries or other accumulating device with a voltage of up to 12 volts.
The assembled ultrasonic repugrator of mosquitoes in the photo looks like this.
Approximate costs for the acquisition of the necessary materials for the creation of an ultrasound repeller are about 420 rubles. The batteries are not included in the price. On the market, you can purchase such a device for 1000 rubles.
Here is such a home -made repeller is able to be an irritant not only for insects, but also for dogs and rodents.
Advantages of the ultrasound frighter of mosquitoes
Mosquitoes working by the spread of high -frequency sound are gaining more and more popularity. Compared to traditional repellents and fumigants, ultrasonic devices have a number of advantages such as:
- Small and mobile dimensions of devices.
- The ultrasonic repeller is completely harmless to human health, since it does not contain chemicals and poisons.
- The device is highly effective and guarantees 100 percent sculpting of mosquitoes.
- The human ear practically does not perceive the weak sound of the device.
- The device is also available in the form of an ordinary compact keychain, which can be carried with you everywhere.
- It does not destroy mosquitoes, but only scares away and muffles them.
- The device works qualitatively in any conditions: both on the street and indoors.
Reviews about the scarecress
Due to its quality work, the ultrasonic replacement of Komarov received positive reviews among those who managed to evaluate his active struggle against obsessive mosquitoes. Buyers separately note the compactness of the device and the simplicity of caring for it. The electronic device negatively affects not only on flying and crawling insects, but also scares off rodents from the dwelling. Some models are given the possibility of self -setting up the frequency and distance of the effect of the ultrasound wave.
The device works silently. With him, summer nights become more calm, and not a single annoying bloodsucker dares to break your peace.
