Hi,
I have heard much about this, but I'm not an expert. Now I know that mosquito hears by Johnston's organ at antennas. Also that mosquitoes have something like "sound/frequency filter", it means they listen to only some sound/frequency, especially other mosquitoes or other animals. Is it true?
I have read two other information, and I would like to discuss if it is true and if it is possible to use it to repel them.
1) The mosquito distinguishes the sound of other mosquitoes and when hears the sound of "running away - danger" from another mosquito, fly away.
2) A mosquito can hear sounds of bats and runs away from the origin of that sound.
Could be possible to use it to repel them?
