A mosquito dispersing device having means for generating a mosquito dispersing pitch pattern having a frequency in the range of at least one of a wing beat frequency of a dragonfly and a wing beat frequency of a damselfly, means for generating a signal having a frequency of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern for use with an amplifier, and means for amplifying the signal to power at least one speaker to produce vibrations of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern in a dispersing area to rid the area of mosquitos.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a mosquito dispersing device comprising means for generating a mosquito dispersing pitch pattern having a frequency in the range of at least one of a wing beat frequency of a dragonfly and a wing beat frequency of a damselfly, means for generating a signal having a frequency of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern for use with an amplifier to power at least one speaker to produce vibrations of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern in a dispersing area.
In this way, mosquitos in the dispersing area can be diminished by at least one of fleeing upon sensing the vibrations of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern and succumbing to an increased presence of at least one of dragonflies and damselflies attracted to the dispersing area by the vibrations of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern.
Without departing from the generality of the invention disclosed herein and without limiting the scope of the invention, the discussion that follows, will refer to the invention as depicted in the drawing.
The preferred embodiments of the apparatus depicted in the drawing comprise a mosquito dispersing device 1 comprising means for generating 2 a signal 3 having a frequency of a mosquito dispersing pitch pattern 4 with a frequency in the range of at least one of a wing beat frequency of a dragonfly and a wing beat frequency of a damselfly comprising a first printed circuit board 10 and means for amplifying 5 the signal to power at least one speaker 14 comprising a second printed circuit board 12, as shown in FIG.
1.
The first printed circuit board 10 has a digital storage medium 6 for storing the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern 4 and a pre-amplifier 16 for accessing the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern stored on the digital storage medium 6 and producing an analog signal 3a having the frequency of a mosquito dispersing pitch pattern 4.
The second printed circuit board 12 has an amplifier circuit 18 for amplifying the analog signal 3a having the frequency of a mosquito dispersing pitch pattern 4 to produce vibrations of the mosquito dispersing pitch pattern in a dispersing area
