LG Electronics has launched its latest residential air conditioner model, the Mosquito Away, in the Kenyan market. Specifically designed for the local market, the product incorporates an impressive function that uses ultrasonic waves to combat mosquitoes. The air conditioner emits ultrasonic waves that disrupt the mosquito's sensory cells and cause paralysis, confusion and often death.

This clever technology is completely harmless to humans and represents a clean, safe alternative to dangerous chemical-based insecticides and repellants. By pressing the 'Mosquito Away button' on the AC's remote control, a speaker within the air conditioner is activated that produces inaudible ultrasonic waves at a frequency of 30 kHz to 100 kHz that repel mosquitoes. Conveniently, the air conditioner's Mosquito Away function can be turned on independently of cooling; helping to prevent unnecessary energy usage.

When strong cooling is required, the Jet Cool function and the product's large, efficient fan deliver an increased volume of airflow.
