In a statement, the firm said the mosquito away feature, powered by ultrasonic wave technology, repels mosquitoes by generating sound frequencies inaudible to humans.

According to the statement, “this advanced technology has been rigorously tested and certified by the Institute for Advanced Medical Research and Training, IAMRAT at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, with results confirming its efficacy in achieving a 92 percent mosquito repulsion rate and an 88 percent knockdown rate indoors.
