This is an app that I wished worked! I've seen keychain devices for sale that claim to produce a sound undetectable to humans but one that chased mosquitoes away. From what I read the sound supposedly mimics a dragonfly in flight and dragonflies are the mortal enemies of mosquitoes (or something like that). I found MP3 versions of that dragonfly wing beating sound and tested it by playing it on my phone's MP3 player. I never got my rigged mosquito chaser to scare a single mosquito. When I saw an Android app that produces the same sound I couldn't resist testing it on a hike and around our valley. Full review up at http://droiditude.com/?p=165.

How can a mosquito "hear" when they don't have ears!

I had a device that made the sound of the male mosquito - it was amazing! I wish they put that one as an app.

A pioneering study testing five different ultrasonic devices against four mosquito species convincingly demonstrated that ultrasound in the 20-70 kHz range used by these devices had no effect on reorienting flight by female mosquitoes either toward or away from human subjects. Additional tests have shown that sound generators capable of a wide range of frequencies were also ineffective in repelling mosquitoes. The fact is that these devices just do not work - marketing claims to the contrary.
