Ultrasonic mosquito repellers: review of popular models

Those who live in places of high humidity are much less happy about the onset of spring and warming, and the reason for this is the inevitable arrival of the “mosquito season” - a time when it is impossible to hide from blood-sucking insects either at home or on the street. There is no life-saving pill that will eradicate mosquitoes, however, technological progress does not stand still and means that significantly reduce mosquito activity still exist. The hero of our today's rating is an ultrasonic mosquito repeller - get acquainted with the best models on the market today.

No. 10 – UP-12D8

Price: 650 rubles

Mosquito and midge repellers are not only powered from an outlet and cover a large area, but also personal devices that protect the wearer from annoying insects. This device creates a mosquito-protected zone within a radius of 0.5 to 1.5 meters around the owner by simulating the alarm sound and flight of a male mosquito. It is shaped like a carabiner clasp that can be attached to one of the items of clothing.

The frequency range of the device is 5-9 KHz, and it is powered by a battery, which is charged using a built-in solar panel. In general, an affordable and quite effective device that will help you survive the summer and not become a coveted food for mosquitoes.

Review of popular devices

It should be immediately mentioned that the question of the effectiveness of using ultrasonic repellers remains open. There is no scientific evidence for the deterrent effect of ultrasound. And the reviews are very contradictory. Some buyers write about a model of the same brand as a “wonderful invention,” while others immediately claim that it is a “scam.” It is even difficult to find reliable information about some devices. In addition, nowadays it is difficult to trust even reviews of “real” people on the Internet, since they can turn out to be simple advertising. It seems that everything should be extremely simple: the device either repels mosquitoes or is simply useless. The fact that there is a huge variety of these devices on the market indicates that there is a demand for them. This means that ultrasonic repellers still help someone protect themselves from mosquitoes.

On a note. Perhaps the effect of using the device is related to what mosquitoes it affects and what frequency of ultrasound it affects. To influence insects of different groups (and there are about 200 of them), you need your own wave. The ability to use multiple frequencies in one device enhances its productivity.

Chicco brand ultrasonic repeller

The Chicco brand is known as a manufacturer of children's products. Buyers are offered three models of repeller to choose from: tabletop, portable with a clip and for an outlet. The device is compact in size and powered by batteries. It is possible to select a mode (weak and strong). Manufacturers promise complete safety and note the possibility of using the repeller to protect the smallest children (category “0+”). This is a significant advantage, since most children's mosquito repellents have an age limit of at least three months.

Reviews about the effectiveness of the device

Buyers who have been helped by the device note that the effect only extends at a short distance from it.

This repeller (Chicco) was the first mosquito repellent I purchased. At home in each bedroom I have Chicco ultrasonic mosquito repellers that operate from a power outlet, and for walks I purchased its portable version. The repeller is very small and runs on one AAA battery. The battery lasts a long time. Don't expect miracles from this repeller. Yes, it copes with its task, but its power is minimal. It repels mosquitoes well at a distance of no more than 50 cm. That is, the closer, the better.

I bought this miracle (Chicco ultrasonic mosquito repeller) at the pharmacy! I was pleased with the lack of consumables and low energy consumption. That's where my joy disappeared! When plugged into a power outlet, it makes a kind of squeak that is borderline audible, which doesn’t seem to be unpleasant, but is annoying when used for a long time. Okay, bear with me, I'm with mosquitoes! Somehow they don’t care about this device, they fly around and bite. I don’t understand why this miracle was created!

Tornado mosquito repellent device

The declared advantages of the Tornado device are:

  • large protection area - up to 50 sq. m.;
  • absolute safety (no noise or smell);
  • versatility.

The device must be used as follows:

  1. Insert 3 AA batteries into the dedicated compartment.
  2. Turn on your device. The key is adjustable to two positions: B (operation from batteries), A (operation from the network or cigarette lighter). The indicator should turn red.
  3. Adjust the sound level with the wheel.

Safety precautions during operation:

  • The room where the repeller is used must have a normal level of humidity.
  • Spraying aerosols in the immediate vicinity of the device is prohibited.
  • Do not put pressure on the housing and emitter.
  • It is necessary to place the device away from heat sources.

Reviews about using the device

Buyers give diametrically opposed assessments of the effectiveness of the device. Most note such disadvantages as the sharp sound of the repeller and the lack of a wire for connecting to the network.

The Tornado Repeller is a wonderful thing! We bought it and brought it to the dacha. Now the season of these dirty tricks has begun. You turn it on and watch them fly away in fear. It even works on midges, although not on everyone. At first we turned it on at full volume (the squeak is quite loud - not everyone likes it), then, when they fly apart, we can turn it on at a lower volume - in the form of supporting the effect (the sound is not audible). Overall, our family loved it! The only caveat is that the kit does not include a wire to plug it into an outlet. But I think the issue can be resolved. We didn't need it. We used the batteries for a week - they lasted and didn’t run out. There is also a convenient stand. You can put it on it, or you can turn it over and hang it on something. Our baby is interested in everything, so it’s very convenient to adjust it higher.

Device in the form of a Protektor Freetime bracelet

The Protektor Freetime repeller is a personal compact device. It comes with a wrist strap. There is also a clip - a clip for attaching to clothing. The device has four operating modes.

  1. Pull out the plate, then press the button for 3 seconds to turn on the device.
  2. Adjust the power level with an additional button press (4 levels in total). The LED will blink 1 to 4 times. This will signal the selected operating mode. When the device is operating, the LED will flash every 10 seconds.
  3. Hold the button for 4 seconds to turn off the device. Please note that the device automatically turns off after 8 hours of operation. A lithium battery is installed in the device (working time is about 500 hours). The range reaches 1.5 meters.

Important to remember. The repeller will not work effectively if the emitter is closed. Therefore, you should not put it in your pocket, bag or backpack.

Device in the form of a Mosquito keychain

For Mosquito brand devices, most reviews are positive. These repellers are compact. There is such a device in the form of a key fob that runs on button batteries.

The device operates using two sound modes: imitation of the voice of a dragonfly and male mosquitoes. Users note that the device protects, although not 100%, but still repels most insects.


Compact mosquito repellent keychain can be used both indoors and outdoors

Feedback on using the miniature device

I tested the Mosquito miniature ultrasonic mosquito repeller last year. I went into the store and asked what to eat against mosquitoes, they offered me this keychain, they say that it helps, that everything works, there are two repellent modes: dragonfly and the sound of a female mosquito. In general, I didn’t really believe that anything would help. After checking this key fob on the street, at a train station, near a canal, I will tell you that it hardly helps, yes, mosquitoes land, sometimes they don’t bite from above, but take care of your legs, they probably won’t reach you. I would rather give credit to the sprays, which really help, but I decided to try something new, it didn’t work out. It’s better to try it once than to hear and tell other people’s fairy tales.

This thing (the Mosquito ultrasonic mosquito repeller) was given to me, probably more as a joke than seriously, and I laughed myself, but I didn’t expect how it would help me! I was just going on vacation to the south, I don’t know what I would have done there without this device. I don’t know where they bought it, but I realized that it was quite inexpensive. I just turn it on, and there are no mosquitoes, they fly around in circles, but they can’t fly close - it’s like there’s a transparent wall around me. A very useful thing! It runs on “tablet” batteries and lasts a long time. Much better than poisoning your skin with all sorts of harmful mosquito repellent creams - they are all terribly toxic, and all the poison is absorbed into the skin, why is this necessary?! Better try this little gadget! By the way, mosquitoes still can’t stand the smell of cloves, my mother saves herself from them with a tincture of cloves in vodka, she says it helps. Natural product - everything is better than chemistry!

No. 9 – LS-915

Price: 700 rubles


A number of repellers can boast of good effectiveness, but there is a nuance - in their work they use chemicals, poisons and other substances that are not very beneficial to human health. The undoubted advantage of ultrasonic devices is their environmental friendliness; they produce sounds characteristic of the flight of a male mosquito, thereby driving away blood-sucking evil spirits. The range of the device is 20 meters, which allows it to cover most apartments.

The device runs on two AA batteries. The LS-915 is perhaps one of the most inexpensive offerings on the market, which could not have a positive effect on its reliability and quality - the device is made of mediocre materials and cannot boast of a long service life. If you are on a very limited budget, the choice is not bad, but if you have the opportunity to spend a little more, it is better to find something else.

LS-915

How to choose a repeller

When choosing an outdoor mosquito repeller, you need to pay attention to the following parameters.

  1. Radius of action. Each model has certain technical characteristics. You should choose the one with the maximum radius of influence.
  2. Power supply. Electric mosquito repellers operate on AC power. However, there is a wide selection of portable models on the market that run on batteries or rechargeable batteries.
  3. Power. Low-power repellers are ineffective or completely ineffective.
  4. Required conditions for optimal performance.
  5. Dimensions. A portable mosquito repeller is more convenient: you can take it with you on a walk, on vacation, and it is also suitable for fishermen. However, its range is short.
  6. Availability of light indicators. They show in what mode the repeller operates.

No. 8 – Ecosniper AR112

Price: 1250 rubles


Another personal repeller that imitates the sound of a dragonfly and instantly creates a mosquito-free zone around the wearer. The device has a built-in flashlight and can also make a siren sound, attracting the attention of people around you. The device weighs only 10 grams, so carrying it does not cause any difficulties. The impact area is quite impressive for personal repellers - up to 10 meters.

It runs on two AAA batteries, and in the kit you will find a special lanyard with which you can hang the device around your neck. This product is manufactured in China, but designed in Russia, so its quality is quite decent.

A good solution for small apartments - the device covers an area of ​​up to 50 meters and does it as efficiently as possible; only the most persistent mosquito can overcome the influence of the repeller. The device is not connected to the mains and runs on three AAA batteries, so you don’t have to worry that the electricity will suddenly go out at night and a flock of mosquitoes will rush into your home.

The device is absolutely safe for humans and pets, so you can safely leave it on around the clock. The reviews Weitech WK0029 collects are purely positive, so you definitely won’t make a mistake by choosing it. If mosquitoes have become quite annoying to you, then you should get such a gadget as soon as possible.

Ultrasonic mosquito repellers: how these devices work

The operation of ultrasonic repellers is based on the creation of sound at a certain frequency. Technically speaking, this device is a generator of different frequencies of sound waves. The sound imitates the buzzing of male mosquitoes. As an irritant, it acts on females during the breeding season. As you know, it is females who love to cling to human skin. They need food to reproduce.

It is advisable to install the device in such a way that there are no obstacles in the path of sound waves . Such devices can operate either from batteries or from mains via an adapter.

The advantages of ultrasonic repellers are as follows:

  • safety and hypoallergenic (odorless, no chemicals);
  • ease of use (easy to turn on the device, no need to replace any additional components);
  • cost-effectiveness (batteries for a season will cost less than many bottles and tubes with anti-mosquito ointments and aerosols);
  • warranty period for the devices (an ultrasonic repeller is a piece of equipment that is certified and subject to repair);
  • versatility (the device can be used at home, in the office, in the country).

The electrical circuit of most repellers is based on an ultrasonic frequency generator in the range of 4…40 kHz

Typically the device includes several elements:

  • emitters (mosquito repeller);
  • switch key;
  • indicator (LED) of repeller operation;
  • compartment for power supplies;
  • adapter power connector;
  • repeller volume control.

Types of mosquito repellent devices

Depending on the possibilities of use, devices are divided into two main types:

  1. Stationary. These are powerful devices for influencing a large area. Can be used in the apartment and in the house. Some models are capable of operating autonomously on batteries and are suitable for protection in a summer cottage, in the forest, or near a river.
  2. Personal. These are compact devices for personal protection, produced in the form of key rings and bracelets. They are economical to use: one battery is enough to operate the device for several months.

No. 6 – Sititek 045AE

Price: 1500 rubles


An interesting tool that, in addition to fighting mosquitoes, can also act as a small lighting device and serve as a fragrance. The device operates from a standard 220 V network and does not pose a threat to people. In general, the device can be used not only indoors, but its power is not the greatest and it will not cover an area of ​​more than 30 square meters.

It is worth paying tribute to the design of the device - it will not spoil your interior and will arouse the interest of your guests. The device is manufactured in Hong Kong, so the assembly is flawless, and the materials used in its creation are of high quality.

The best mosquito traps for outdoors

Propane traps are considered the most effective. Propane entering the catalytic burner releases carbon dioxide and moisture. Everything is formed naturally, literally before your eyes. All that remains is to add bait - and the mosquitoes will not fly past. It is recommended to install such traps between the house and the place where insects live permanently. The distance from the house must be at least 4 meters.

How do outdoor propane mosquito traps work?

First, let's figure out how we attract the attention of mosquitoes:

  1. CO2 : Humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, which is the strongest natural attractant for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes smell it at a distance of 20 m and rush to their source. The result is bites, itching and a ruined weekend.
  2. The warmth and smell of the human body. It is known that body thermoregulation is a constant process that leads to sweating and heat removal from the surface of the skin. Sweat is eliminated through sweat glands located throughout the body. We may not notice it, but mosquitoes sense everything and fly to the smell.

Thus, the main task of propane traps is to divert the attention of mosquitoes from humans and attract them to the trap. How is this possible? By releasing CO2 and using special baits for the trap. Mosquitoes die quickly without water, so they don’t have long to live in a trap!

It is recommended to install the device between the house and places such as a lake, pond, swamp, etc. Remember the distance to the house is at least 4 m! Provided the device is positioned correctly, it will serve as a barrier between insects and people.

Remember! The most important thing is to start the propane trap at the right time! Turn them on early in the mosquito season and you will have a better chance of interrupting the mosquito reproductive cycle and reducing the number of mosquitoes on your property.

Pros of propane traps:

  • In addition to mosquitoes, they catch midges and other biting insects.
  • Many models perform a number of tasks: they emit CO2, emit heat, i.e., they imitate the life processes of the human body and thus attract more mosquitoes.
  • You can choose a wired or wireless model.
  • The propane trap is easy to install and use.

Cons of propane traps:

  • Propane is quite an expensive consumable (one cylinder will last only 3-4 weeks).
  • Propane is not included and must be purchased separately.

When choosing a propane trap, consider its capacity/coverage area, price, and feeding method. However, you don’t have to bother yourself much with searching. We studied traps from different manufacturers, reviews on markets and sales statistics and selected the best for you.

Mosquito Magnet® Pioneer Mosquito Killer

Executive is the most powerful and expensive (approx. 53 thousand rubles) model in the Magnet family. The remaining models - Independence, Patriot, Defender and LIberty - are much cheaper.

Users report a significant reduction in the number of mosquitoes. For people with allergies, this trap may be the only possible way to eliminate mosquitoes. It is also important that this is a wireless device – it is powered by rechargeable batteries.

Otherwise, this is a typical high-end trap. What disadvantages do users note? First, it requires a lot of maintenance (like any other trap): replacing propane tanks, cleaning the tank, keeping the unit weatherproof, etc. Also, according to many customers, the material of the device leaves much to be desired: they expected something more than plastic.

Price: 30,000 rub.

Electric trap Flowtron Mosquito PowerTrap MT

Flowtron is also a very famous American manufacturer of traps. Users compare this model with traps from other manufacturers and have noticed that Flowtron is safe, reliable and works better than other devices. Plus, this model uses all sorts of baits to attract mosquitoes: CO2, chemicals, sticky strips, heat generation, flashing lights, suction -> more chances for a big catch!

We found only one minus. Some users are annoyed by the flashing lights of the trap.

Price: 26,500 rub.

No. 5 – Tornado OK.01

Price: 1500 rubles


The mosquito and midge repeller from the Tornado brand is distinguished by the ability to work both from the electrical network and in autonomous mode using three AA batteries. Its frequency range is 4000 – 40000 KHz, so even the most persistent mosquitoes will not be able to resist the effects of its ultrasonic radiation. The effective area here is about 50 square meters, so you can use it both at home and, for example, in a gazebo located on the street.

Tornado OK.01 is a fairly popular mosquito repeller among Russians, due to its reasonable combination of price and quality. The device is manufactured in the city of Togliatti, meeting the highest requirements for electronics that interact with people. In general, if you are too lazy to understand the intricacies of choosing such devices, purchasing this model will definitely not be a mistake.

Tornado OK.01

No. 4 – Weitech WK-240

Price: 1850 rubles


Another device from the well-known manufacturer of repellers Weitech, which has received a lot of positive reviews in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet. The main purpose of the device is to fight small rodents like mice, but it will also quickly repel mosquitoes from the room in which you are. The device produces virtually no noise that can be heard by the human ear, and also has no negative impact on humans and pets.

In general, the device does not have any outstanding technical characteristics, but its overall balance and incredible reliability make it extremely popular among domestic buyers. It fell a little short of the top 3, but only because the remaining representatives of the ranking turned out to be too good. A good compromise between price and performance.

Weitech WK-240

#3 – Protector Freetime

Price: 1900 rubles


An excellent representative of the class of personal ultrasonic repellers, with a bright design and an interesting fastening system. Unlike most of these devices, which is a small latch, this device looks more like a stylish orange bracelet that is attached to the hand, although it can also be used as a standard clip.

The body of the device is made of impact-resistant plastic, so it is not afraid of falls from a small height and minor impacts. Power comes from a lithium battery, which is enough for 3-4 months of continuous operation. The device acts exclusively on the auditory receptors of insects, so that your household and beloved pets will not even notice its existence. Protektor Freetime has four operating modes and you can always sacrifice battery power for performance or vice versa.

Ultrasonic repeller REXANT 71-0014

No. 2 – Weitech WK-0600 CIX

Price: 7400 rubles


The device is on a fundamentally different level than all previous representatives of our top ultrasonic insect repellers. The scaring area of ​​this miracle of technology is an unheard of 325 square meters, so the Weitech WK-0600 CIX will be the best choice for a large house or cottage. Equipped with two powerful emitters at once, the device will scare away mosquitoes long before they can approach you at a dangerous distance.

The device has the widest frequency range, which allows it to produce ultrasound that will not affect your living creatures, which is important for those who keep a large number of pets. Not only mosquitoes, but also spiders, rats and even cockroaches will instantly leave their long-established places, just so as not to hear these sounds. In general, one of the best devices of this type today, but its price is appropriate.

Weitech WK-0600 CIX

Large powerful outdoor mosquito killers

Flowtron Mosquito PowerTrap MT-275

The most effective and multifunctional trap! This trap doesn't require an outlet: it runs on propane and a small AA battery.

“The SkeeterVac SV5100 has definitely helped reduce the mosquito population, but it doesn't eliminate them all. I have found this to be effective in controlling mosquito populations, especially when used in conjunction with other methods. For example, in addition to SkeeterVac 24/7, I have eliminated all sources of standing water in the yard - since the beginning of April, just in case,” = users say.

True, there are also disadvantages. This trap does not come with a scale indicating the amount of propane inside the tank, and there is no bait either. So you have to keep in mind that a propane tank lasts about 3 weeks and a bait tank lasts about a month.

Price: 32,300 rub.

Tips from users:

  1. Clean your trap regularly. The more careful you are with the device, the longer the device will last (on average from 3 to 5 years).
  2. Never place a SkeeterVac trap close to where you are, otherwise you will only attract insects to you. The best place for a trap is near a source of running water.
  3. When you open the mosquito compartment to check how many insects have been caught, cover it with a transparent lid, otherwise the live insects will fly out.
  4. Just because a trap doesn't work doesn't mean it isn't effective. Maybe it's the type of mosquito - change the bait.

№1 – TM-315

Price: 8000 rubles


And here is the best ultrasonic mosquito repeller available on the market today, although its power is enough to kill not only them, but even rodents and birds. Huge coverage area, incredible efficiency and complete safety for people - all this is a wonderful device TM-315. For those who have to solve several problems related to uninvited guests at once, especially for summer residents, such a device becomes a real panacea.

The price is steep, but if you do not accept half measures and are trying to solve the issue once and for all, you should not save and then complain about the weak power and poor quality of the purchase, it is better to immediately buy a top-end device and forget about the troubles associated with mosquitoes and rats once and for all .
