Christopher Batich, a UF biomedical engineer, has developed a small portable device to repel mosquitos for U.S. military personnel. It is portable, easy to use, and requires no heat, electricity, or skin contact
The device uses transfluthrin, an organic insecticide considered safe for both humans and animals. “Our device eliminates the need for applying topical repellents and for insecticides that are sprayed across an open area, which can contaminate surrounding plants or bodies of water and have a negative impact on beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies,” said Batich.
