The onslaught of small peripherals that came with the subsequent standardization of USB as both data transfer medium and portable power source has given birth to a lot of weird and quirky products that has kept things interesting in recent years. Things from USB monitors to even USB cup warmers have sprung up from whatever woodwork is crazy or brave enough to manufacture them. This is another one, but for a surprisingly good idea.

The only creature that has killed more people than all of history’s most sinister tyrants and dictators is the mosquito. Carrying more diseases than most people can count, different varieties of mosquitoes have spread their influence all over the world since the prehistoric times. They can even strike you when you least expect it – while you are using your computer. This is where this little USB mosquito repellent comes in.

Cheap and portable, this little thing can keep those pests away from you while your attention is focused on whatever you are doing with your computer. While most may find this as merely a novelty, think about it. There are people who do not have the luxury of living in a mosquito-free environment, so this is the next best thing is to do something to keep them at bay. Killing them can never be fast enough due to their numbers and nature.

Chemical-free and environmentally-friendly, this device uses ultrasound waves to annoy mosquitoes enough for them to turn tail. The thing about this product is that people actually like it. Think about all the times you have slapped yourself silly because mosquitoes keep pestering you, all the mosquito repellent lotion you have lathered on your skin, and all the fumes you have breathed in from the mosquito coil. Still think that this is a useless product?

Perhaps you may have other things to worry about like your digital cameras, data card readers, and other peripherals that occupy your USB ports regularly, but that is why there are USB hubs. If you want to keep the pests away from you, then add it to your collection and stop having to scratch that itch raw.
