Mosquitoes are one of the most fearsome pests of every summer. There are many types and their bites, while usually just annoying, can be dangerous. This is why prevention methods of all kinds are recommended, including those that concern ultrasound emission and for which we necessarily think of devices like the iPhone.
In addition, we can find in the App Store an application that, it is said, emits a frequency of sounds capable of scaring away mosquitoes. Well, we are sorry to be troublemakers, but They do not work and therefore are not a good remedy.. And be careful, it’s not because the developers don’t have good intentions, it’s that they simply don’t have the hardware of an iPhone for this.
Why ultrasound apps don’t work on iPhone
Perhaps you have already come across a gadget that, when plugged into an outlet, claims to send out ultrasounds that prevent the appearance of mosquitoes. And it may be true that it emits frequencies that the human ear cannot hear, but what is not true is that it scares away mosquitoes.
No relevant studies support this theory, so Ultrasound is not effective against mosquitoes
Therefore, we have already started from the idea that no matter how much ultrasound it emits, the iPhone is not good for this. Although there is something even safer and that is this The speakers in iPhones and most (if not all) smartphones do not have the ability to reproduce ultrasound.. It is therefore doubly ineffective.
So if you ever come across an application, website or YouTube video that promises to emit ultrasound to repel mosquitoes, know that your iPhone will not be able to reproduce them and that it would not be useful to avoid the presence of insects.
How can an iPhone help against mosquitoes?
Now knowing that there is no ultrasound, there are some utilities for iPhone that are interesting. And they are basically third party applications
There are also options like those analyzed by our colleague Iván Linares in Xataka Android. It is a 30 euro device that, connected to the iPhone port, can treat bites without chemicals and other elements harmful to the skin. An idea which, far from appearing absurd, is scientifically tested.
