The university invented a boat that releases ultrasonic waves to kill mosquito larvae and pupae. The boat is proving 90 percent effective within a 3 metre-radius.
According to the university, the boat can be used in ponds and canals to control mosquito infestations. The ultrasonic waves meanwhile, don't harm fish or crustaceans in the water.
The university spent six months developing the invention.
The boat, which is 100 cm long and weighs about 50 kg, is made of fiberglass. It can be controlled remotely via a GPS system and travels at the speed of 7 km per hour.
The university has already obtained a patent for this clever invention.-VNA
