This handy gadget called ' MotoRepellent' was created in order to reduce the amount of deaths caused by mosquitoes in Thailand. The exhaust accessory is described as a "light-weight, mobile device filled with [non-toxic mosquito repelling oil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzie) and is magnetically attached to the end of a motorcycle’s exhaust pipe." As heat is generated by the bike, the oil is expelled into the air and has the ability to cover a three meter radius. This gadget, which can be thought of as a "citronella candle on wheels" is a revolutionary idea that will assist many people since [motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c6) are "the main mode of transportation in the slums." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Mosquito-repelling Outdoor Gear:** There is an opportunity for outdoor gear companies to create products that integrate mosquito-repelling technology, such as clothing and camping gear, to improve outdoor experiences and reduce health risks. - **Mobile Mosquito Repelling Solutions:** With the increasing prevalence of mosquito-borne illnesses around the world, there is an opportunity for tech companies to develop mobile devices and apps that repel mosquitoes and improve public health outcomes. - **Sustainable Mosquito Control:** There is a growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly mosquito control solutions, which presents an opportunity for researchers and entrepreneurs to develop innovative methods that reduce the use of harmful chemicals and minimize environmental impact. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The success of the MotoRepellent shows potential for other automotive companies to create similar mosquito-repelling accessories for vehicles, especially in regions with high rates of mosquito-borne illnesses. - **Charity and Non-profit:** Charity and non-profit organizations can take advantage of the MotoRepellent concept to address public health issues and improve the lives of people living in high-risk areas. - **Healthcare:** Healthcare companies can explore the potential for integrating mosquito-repelling technology into medical devices and products used in mosquito-prone areas, such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Bug-Repelling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosquito-repellent-device.md) - [Mosquito-Repelling Miniature Diffusers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vesperguard.md) - [4-in-1 Mosquito Repellants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moziguard.md) - [Chemical-Free Mosquito Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosqitter-mini.md) - [Handheld Wearable Mosquito Repellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosquito-repeller-lantern.md) - [Paper-Based Mosquito Repellents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperbased-mosquito-repellent.md) - [Battery-Powered Mosquito Misters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/npd-products.md) - [Style-Conscious Anti-Insect Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosqo-bug-zapper.md) - [Mosquito-Repelling Outdoor String Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-string-lights.md)
