Over the years, there have been a wide array of innovative gadgets designed to ward off mosquitoes and other pesky insects, with the latest introduction being a high-tech wristband that uses electromagnetic waves to keep mosquitoes away.
Developed by Swiss engineer Kurt Stoll, the Nopixgo Mosquito Bite Protection Wristband fools mosquitoes into thinking a thunderstorm is coming by emitting waves similar to the electrical outputs created by approaching storms. When mosquitoes detect these waves, they instantly prioritize protection over feeding, causing them to flee from wearers instead of biting them.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, this high-tech wristband is a fine example of wearable technology being used to harmlessly and safely protect people from pests.
