That one brand name solar powered backup battery one I have mentioned was 100% effective until I dropped it on a concrete floor. I got another.
The mosquitos would not come within 12' of me. I saw them fly up that close, do a quick 180-turn out of there.
I was told it makes a distinctive dragonfly sound: dragonflys eat mosquitos.
In addition, I have an "alkalyn balance" evidenced by health and by wearing a copper bracelet, for example. If you have an "acid balance" the skin touching the copper bracelet, ring, necklace, will turn a greenish color you can wash off.
This is not a major difference in pH. It is a small difference, that makes a big difference in health.
It is not particularly a "western medicine idea" so most people around here have not heard of it.
However, ayurveda, a system of medicine and health in India, for example, speaks directly of the difference a small difference in pH makes in health. Ayurveda refers to "post digestive effect" of food items as either acid or alkalyn. This is not identical to the food item before digestion.
I happen to choose most food items that have an alkalyn "post digestive effect".
My mother said, "the mosquitos do not like the way you taste".
I would be at the neighbor's tennis court watching the tennis game. Mosquitos biting everyone else, the mosquitos did not bite me.
And so, I think small differences in pH make a big difference for mosquitos for a target for their favorite "food" and for "food" that doesn't taste so good to the mosquito.
