Product Details
The Mini-Mosquito is essentially a simplified version of its big brother the Mini-Mosquito and has been produced primarily for use on domestic properties and small business premises. While less powerful than the professional version, the Mini-Mosquito is still very much an effective tool for dispersing groups of teenagers who regularly congregate in a location and behave in an antisocial manner. Antisocial behaviour is one of the fastest growing problems in UK society and unfortunately there is little that the police are able to do to prevent it.
If you have groups of teenagers regularly loitering near your property, causing criminal damage, putting off customers or even abusing customers and staff, then the Mini-Mosquito anti-loitering device is the most effective way to put an end to the problem without confrontation!
Mini-Mosquito is widely used by police and local authorities, chain stores, independent shops and private individuals to protect their property from the effects of teenage antisocial behaviour.
Mini-Mosquito works on low voltage and so can if required be installed by a competent DIY person in around 1 hour. Please ensure that proper precautions are taken when working with ladders.

Main applications
Antisocial behaviour. If you are regularly a victim of anti-social behaviour from teenagers outside your home or business then Mini-Mosquito is the most effective method of putting a stop to it. Police and ASBO’s (Anti Social Behaviour Orders) only have limited success in dealing with these problems as they cannot attend every incident and ASBO’s do nothing if the kids cannot be caught. While installing a Mosquito does not solve the societal problems that cause ASB (Anti-social Behaviour) it will reclaim your right to peaceful enjoyment of your home or business.
Graffiti. If you have ever suffered with graffiti, you will know that Graffiti removal services are expensive and anti graffiti coatings etc. are not always appropriate for the situation. Installing a Mosquito at a site that is repeatedly being Tagged will prevent further graffiti in most circumstances.
Vandalism. Many of our customers are victims of crime who have spent many thousands of pounds annually repairing physical damage to their properties. As is the case with graffiti and anti-social behaviour, the crime prevention service and crime prevention officers are without the ability to provide serious products that make a real difference to such situations. Installing Mosquito’s will make the immediate area an annoying and unpleasant place to be with the result that if the kids don’t like being there, the vandalism will stop. One school we dealt with recently saved £50,000 on vandalism repair costs in just 3 months after installing Mosquito’s.
Loitering. The conventional definition of anti-social behaviour not withstanding, sometimes it is just not acceptable for a group of hooded teenagers to be hanging around blocking entrances and exits to shops, banks etc. as it puts off customers from approaching the building. If you suffer from such loitering problems, you may have asked these kids nicely to move away from the area, only to be verbally abused, possibly your staff have been victims of abuse! Installing a Mini-Mosquito is a simple and benign way to make the immediate area unpleasant for such kids to loiter for more than a few minutes without affecting your real customers.
Homeless / Sleeping rough. Many police forces around the world have asked us to produce a Mosquito that affects older people too. The latest version, Mini-Mosquito now has a selector switch to allow the unit to emit either a tone that mainly the under 25’s can hear OR a tone that everyone can hear. This is particularly effective in areas where homeless people sleep rough, subway tunnels where unpleasant characters gather at night etc.
Over 18’s Only. There are many places where it is not acceptable or even legal for children to be. Betting shops are one example of this. Many betting shops have few staff and those are often behind screens. Many also have fruit machines that kids sneak in and use. In order to prevent this, many betting shops use the Mosquito inside the premises, thereby making it an area where the kids don’t want to loiter.
