Abstract
Mosquito larvae in a body of water are subjected to acoustic resonance or cavitation from an acoustic transducer immersed in the body of water, resulting in killing the adjacent mosquito larvae.
Claims10
Method for killing mosquito larvae, which comprises:
- subjecting mosquito larvae in a body of water to acoustic resonance from an acoustic transducer, including immersing the acoustic transducer in a body of water containing mosquito larvae, energizing the acoustic transducer resulting in a resonant frequency in the body of water, wherein said resonant frequency resonates with the air bladder of the mosquito larvae, traumatizing surrounding tissue and resulting in death of the adjacent mosquito larvae.
