Abstract

 Mosquito-borne diseases pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. This study presents the design and development of a mosquito repellent system that utilizes ultrasonic frequency and UV light to repel and eliminate mosquitoes and machine learning algorithms. The system consists of a microcontroller, UV light source, ultrasonic frequency generator, and a DC fan. The microcontroller coordinates the operation of the system, activating the UV light to attract mosquitoes, followed by the ultrasonic frequency to repel them, and finally the DC fan to eliminate the trapped mosquitoes. The system was tested in various environments, and the results showed a significant reduction in mosquito populations. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the designed system in repelling and eliminating mosquitoes, providing a potential solution for mosquito-borne disease control.
