Have been asked to source a Mosquito brat repeller any ideas chaps?

Found one on web at 289 + Vat seems pricy to me

I think he means one of these:

I'm not sure that he means the fly killer, more over the annoying noise that annoys the brats & they go away.

If so, I tried it by using an MP3 from the web of the sound, played through the PC or via a CD player it seemed to do the job, my kids screamed & ran away at least.

Ordinary speakers are not really upto the job, Mosquito ones are for higher frequencies but if anyone fancies making one, an MP3 player & a tweeter type horn (of the correct frequency band) fitted in an old floodlight housing can do the job well enough & a damn site cheaper.. lol

play them a selection from your Cliff Richard albums.

Wouldn't the Cliff Richard option be a breach of the Human Rights Act 1998?

Went in a public convenience in Stratford (E London) once. It had classical music playing at high volume in it

It's when it's George Michael tunes you want to worry....

Under the noise regulation (or whatever) act, such noise producing brat repellents can only be used for 20 minutes at a time, with an hour break between.

Out of interest, I find 15KHz works well.

When a mosquito is fitted, it is fitted with a "doorbell" type switch, that makes it sound for 20 minutes, but it wont come on again for an hour afterwards.

not, that's cheap, besides, you are not paying for it, and most "ordainairy stuff" costs a small fortune.

 

[mattylad]

HA! thats easily bypassed... lol

Oh the wonders of older age

 

[breezer]

thats true, but then if you get paid to fit it, and x happens, so what. You have done everthing correct and been paid

x being something that has nothing to do with you
