Does the MozzieXIT Ultrasonic mosquito repellant device really work?!
Question:
Does the MozzieXIT Ultrasonic mosquito repellant device really work?
The MozzieXIT is apparently sold in USA, UK and Australia. Does ultrasonic mosquito devices work or is it just a scam? So far the information on ultrasonic devices on the internet is negative.
Answers:
They don't work.
Repeated studies have shown that they are ineffective.
DEET is about the only thing that is very effective.
Here is a comment from WebMD:
You may have seen ads for ultrasonic mosquito repellent devices, which supposedly emit sounds that irritate or scare away the bugs. Organizations from the Federal Trade Commission to the American College of Physicians (in a review in Annals of Internal Medicine) cite numerous studies showing that these devices don't work.
