This article considers the Mosquito, a sonic repellent that is increasingly being used in a bid to drive teenagers out of public spaces. Having located this technology in its social and political context, the legal ramifications of its deployment are considered. Does the Mosquito satisfy health and safety requirements? Does it contravene environmental regulations? Is utilization of this device antisocial? Does its deployment constitute a form of criminal harassment? Finally, does the Mosquito unjustifiably interfere with human rights? Responses to the questions are offered, along with potential remedies for redress.
