We have this study for the reason that we believe this study is the key to the growing problem about mosquitoes. With the increasing number of mosquito-borne diseases nowadays, the project is beneficial in a way that the gadget we will use is effective, not expensive to maintain could be assembled from locally available electronic parts. This device is not harmful to the environment as it does not introduce toxic substance to kill mosquitoes. That’s why it is really beneficial to use, because its environment friendly and safe to us humans.
Statement of the Problem
1. To look for an alternative way to control mosquitoes population
2. To test effectively of sound waves to kill larva
3. To make a device that is effective, beneficial, and not harmful to the environment.

Significance of the Study
