So when I saw this app and then looked at the dozen or more mosquito bites on my wife’s legs I thought, awesome, she’s gonna love me. Then I thought a little more and wondered how the small speakers on the iPhone were going to put out an audio signal with enough quality to keep mosquitos away? But hey, I’m an idiot who didn’t even know you could keep mosquitos away with sound so I thought I’d give it a try. Nevertheless, I was skeptical to say the least. My wife has tried everything including citronella braclets around her ankles. Well, other than staying inside or taking a bath in deet, the mosquitos eat her up within minutes. So how did it do? First, the app is as simple as they come. You open it up and there are two buttons. One turns on the sound (this is a frequency that humans can’t hear) and the other lets you choose between 5 different frequencies ranging from 17.4 Hz to 20.0 Hz or all together.So all you do is push the red button seen here on the right and put in your pocket. It’s strange turning it on and not hearing anything. I wondered if it was working. My dog wasn’t barking so I assumed she couldn’t hear the mosquito frequency either. So at 6:20 in the evening I sent my wife out into the backyard with iPhone in her pocket. It didn’t take long for one of two things to occur. Either we have mutant mosquitos ammune to the noise or it doesn’t work well. They were circling withing 5 minutes. I can’t recommend this app even at $0.99 as it doesn’t appear to work.
