The United Kingdom Is Faced With A Teenager-related Dilemma. Malls, Convenience Stores, And Other Establishments Are Not Happy With The Groups Of Youth That Loiter Inside Their Properties. A Security Expert, Howard Stapleton, Came Up With The Idea Of The Mosquito Teen Repellent. He Created A Device That Looks Like An Ordinary Black Box Except That It Produces A Pulsing Frequency Up To 80 Decibels That Can Be Heard Within A 15-20 Meter Range. Well, Those Beyond Twenty-five Or So Need Not Worry Actually. This Mosquito Teen Repellent Is Not Supposed To Be Heard By People In The Late 20s And Beyond. The Principle Behind This High-frequency Sound Machine Has Something To Do With The Hearing Ability Of People. It Is A Fact That Age Interferes With Ones Ability To Hear Sounds Of High Frequencies. The Mosquito Teen Repellent Works To Upset The Rowdy Teenagers Who Are Always Loitering Inside Establishments. There Are Instances When Older People Are Said To Have Heard The Mosquito Teen Repellent. However, The Noise Never Seem To Bother Anyone Else But The Teens.Compound Security Systems, A Company Based In The U.K., Has Patented The Mosquito Teen Repellent And Has Been Making This Device Available In The Market Since December Of 2005. So Far It Has Already Been Commended With Two Awards: The Chairmans Special Commendation In The Credit Suisse Entrepreneur Of The Year 2006; And A Highly Commended Status Award In The AXA Small To Medium Sized Business Of The Year 2006.The Mosquito Teen Repellent Has Been Sufficiently Tested To Ensure That Even If Some People Over 25 Years Old Can Hear The Sound To Some Extent, This Does Not Bother Them The Way It Would The Teenagers. Dogs, Which Are Known For Their Exceptional Hearing Abilities, Do Not Appear To Be Pestered By The Mosquito Teen Repellent As Well.The High-frequency Sound Does Not Immediately Bother Teenagers Right Away. It Usually Takes 5-10 Minutes For The Mosquito Teen Repellent To Become Annoying. It Also Becomes Stronger And More Bothersome If One Gets Closer To The Sound. However, It Does Not Go Through Barriers, Making It A Friendly Device To The Neighbors Too. Never Has The Mosquito Buzz Been Considered Beneficial As In This Case. But While It So Far Succeeded In Warding Off Loitering Teenagers, It Does Not Help Those Who Are Really Going Shopping. And Unless Shopkeepers Who Are Utilizing The Mosquito Teen Repellent Start Handing Out Ear Plugs To Young Shoppers, Teenagers Would Have To Let Their Mommies Do Their Shopping.
