[Sugar-devel] Turn your frequency generator into a super powerful mosquito repeller

The speakers don't work very well at the frequency range specified by
that article for mosquito repelling; 45 Hz to 67 Hz.

The article fails to mention how much sound is needed; e.g. in dBm.  It
gives a subjective measure only.

Other articles on the site mention secrets of ancient geometry and
crystal harmonizers.  This really doesn't impress me.  Is there any
evidence base for repelling mosquitos using low frequency sound?  Is
there any evidence that enough of the population of mosquitos is
repelled?  All it takes is for one strain to not be repelled and it will
breed up.
