Ultrasound devices such as this one do not effectively repel mosquitoes as claimed. This has been debunked by studies such as this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10890136/#:~:text=There%20was%20no%20significant%20difference,in%20this%20strictly%20controlled%20trial.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1811237488859517203

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
