Mosquitoes are one of the most irritating bugs and they spread many diseases. Wide varieties of mosquito repellents are available. Here we are talking about a method which would most likely drive away the mosquitoes with the help of certain frequency generators. Researchers have found that insects are typically allergenic to a specific spectrum of frequency range called the ultrasound frequency.
This is a simple circuit of ultrasonic mosquito (insect) repeller for insect control based on the theory that insects like mosquito can be repelled by using sound frequencies in the ultrasonic (above 20 KHz) range. This insect repellent frequency is farther than the hearing range of humans, but can cause a lot of nervousness to the insects and also to animals like dogs and cats. Bug control is easy with this best insect repellent.
You can also buy this assembled and tested circuit from us. 
Then Ton=Toff=20µSeconds.
use R=2.7kΩ standard.
You can also use our astable frequency calculator tool to design your own frequency.

Circuit diagram of best mosquito control circuit
Components required
- Power supply (12V)
- Resistors (2.7kΩ x 2)
- Capacitors (0.01µF x 2)
- NE 555 timer
- IC Diode (1N4007)
- Piezo Buzzer
Working of bug repellent circuit
- Here the 555 timer is configured in astable multivibrator mode, specifically devised for generating sound at the ultra frequency levels.
- The frequency of this circuit is set to 25 kHz, this frequency falls in the ultrasound region and it is not audible to human beings.
- The 1N4007 diode is used to get 50% duty cycle for the frequency generator.
- The piezo buzzer converts the output of 555 astable to ultrasonic sound that can be heard by the insects.
- This ultrasound frequency cause some irritations and uneasiness to the insects such as mosquitoes. However it will not disturb you if you have installed this circuit of insect repellent for your home.
How to Design a mosquito repeller circuit
We need 25 kHz signal, so the time period will be 40µseconds.Then Ton=Toff=20µSeconds.
use R=2.7kΩ standard.Other 555 IC projects

Does the Vcc have to be exactly 12V? Can I use a 9V battery for this?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYou can use 9V battery for the circuit.
this isnt working.
ReplyDeletePlease check the astable is working or not.
DeleteHello,does the circuit use 270k ohm resistors or 2.7k(shown in the circuit diagram).thank you
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteCircuit uses 2.7KΩ as shown in the design part.
