FREQUENCY BASED FLY REPELLENT

This project presented the application of ultrasonic sound in repelling flies. Pest insects are well known threat to human and agriculture. Getting rid the pest using alternative ways to conventional pesticides is considered crucial and strategically important step to the future.
The objective of this project is to be able to repel insects without the use of chemical pesticides by producing ultrasound. The majority of the insects are sensitive to ultrasound and they have a tendency to keep away from the territory covered by the ultrasound. The specific frequency ranges of the ultrasonic sound are used to study on the insects’ behaviour and response. In this thesis, data from theoretical, simulation and experimental are collected and analyzed.
This pest control device is designed to be low cost and effective solution, is powered by solar panels to make it applicable over the large fields. The project is one of the most ideal approaches to reduce the harm of pesticides making the consumption of fruits safer to the general public.
