Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The portable Lentek MC04 MosquitoContro clears your home, deck, or campsite of biting mosquitoes with three barely audible frequencies. Two of the frequencies imitate the wing sound of male mosquitoes, which pregnant female mosquitoes--the biters--like to avoid. The third frequency imitates the wing sound of the dragonfly, a mosquito predator. Standing 4-1/2-inches tall, the MosquitoContro protects a 16-by-16-foot area and won't affect household pets or children. While you can only use one frequency at a time, the MosquitoContro does provide you with a volume control so you can adjust for bug density and area coverage. We also like the MosquitoContro's portability, night-light, and 2-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars A completely waste of money, October 16, 2001

This review is from: Lentek MC04 Mosquito Contro-Portable (Lawn & Patio)

What I thought was going to be a clean/safe way to deter mosquitos turned out to be a complete waste of money. I tracked
down a mosquito that was sitting on my bathroom wall and tested the device out. With all 3 settings (the 2 male mosquitos and the dragonfly) on the loudest at around 6 inches from the mosquito, the thing wasn't even phased and sat there. I even tried to adjust the volume up and down thinking that the sound amplitude might have an effect. Again, the bugger was still parked on my wall. I'm going to return this thing ASAP and I'm also wondering what the previous reviewer was smoking giving this product a 5 star rating...

If the frequencies on this product do indeed work it must attract mosquitoes because it does not repel them. As the previous writer said, A complete waste of money.
