Hate mosquitoes? There’s an app for that.

Have you downloaded a bug repellent app? 

There are several that claim to repel mosquitoes. The Anti-Mosquito Sonic Repeller emits a high frequency sound which is supposed to keep mosquitoes away. The Mosquito Repellent app from Green Mobile claims to do the same thing. 

There’s just one problem, according to entomologist Dr. Joon Lee. He says while the noise may keep male mosquitoes away, the females can’t hear it and they’re the ones that bite. While some users swear they work, others have given the apps a thumbs down, suggesting the sound may even attract mosquitoes instead of repelling them.
