1. What are the main benefits of installing a Mosquito?

Mosquito provides a passive method for dispersing groups of teenagers loitering in vulnerable or inconvenient locations
This means that:

• Customers of all ages can access your facilities without safety fears
• Vandalism and accidental damage incidents will be dramatically reduced
• There will be no need for confrontations involving staff, customers or the police
• The image of your premises will improve, providing increased custom
• The image of the whole locality could improve, so that more customers use the facilities and remain in the area for longer.

4. How does Mosquito work?

The Mosquito generates a really annoying tone that is audible to young people, but not to adults. The system exploits a small change in hearing at the end of our teenage years.

Teenagers are acutely aware of the sound and usually move away from the area within a few minutes.

5. Should Mosquito remain switched on 24 hours day ?

Mosquito should only be switched on at the times of day it is required, and only for the period it is required.

6. What are the running costs for a Mosquito system?

The Mosquito uses less electricity than a normal domestic light bulb.

7. Are there any legal issues affecting Mosquito installation?

The manufacturers have commissioned a detailed investigation into the legal situation which has identified that there is minimal risk of legal implications.

8. Can the Mosquito cause hearing injury?

The Unit has been tested to make sure it complies with HSE report 343/2001. This report, issued by the Health and Safety Executive, lists safe sound levels for various environments. The Mosquito generates sound below the volume that is considered safe for exposures of more than 1 hour.

9. How big is a Mosquito?

A Mosquito unit is 185mm across, 145mm down and 120mm deep. It is a similar size to a domestic security light

10. Is it easy to install a Mosquito?

The Mosquito is supplied with mounting bracket, power supply, cable, time switch and instructions and so can be self-installed. However we recommend professional fitting to ensure a safe and robust installation delivering efficient performance and long life.

In addition, installations complying with our Code of Practice  provide additional reassurance.

11. How can I prevent my Mosquito from being vandalised?

We recommend the Mosquito unit is mounted high enough to be out of reach. We also recommend the unit is protected by a security cage to prevent vandalism.

Purpose made security cages are available from AIS for a small additional charge.

12. How can I improve the overall security of my premises?
