pesky kids be gone

I’ve heard of pest eradicators that use ultrasonic sounds to drive off rodents and insects, but this is the first humane way I’ve heard of to get rid of those annoying teens.

Coined the “Mosquito Ultrasonic Teenage Deterrent,” the device emits annoying tones that can only be heard by those aged 20 and younger. The device is based on the same principal of the silly “mosquito” cell phone ringtones that only teens should be able to hear (I’m 39 and I can hear those ringtones, so go figure). So if you’ve got a gaggle of rugrats hanging out in front of your home or business, or just want to wreak havoc at the local shopping mall, you might want to pick one of these up.
