Exterminator Coli
Safety
All the contents of our project are safe for human beings however some precautionary measures may have to be implemented for the proper use of our device. Some of the safety features that are included in our project are:
- The smell which attracts the mosquito is generated by Indole and lactic acid which are harmless to human beings.
- As we are working with current, the device is made out of plastic which is an insulator.
- Most the components of the circuit are placed inside a plastic box so that there is very limited chance of getting electric when there is a problem in the circuit.
- The mesh is located at such a place where can touch it when the power source is connected to it. Also, the outline of the mesh is made out of plastic.
Even though we have implemented all these safety features we recommend some safety precautions:
- Turn of the power source whenever you want to separate the top and bottom part of the device.
- Check once in awhile if mosquitoes are stuck in the mesh. If they are then separate the top and bottom part of the device to get the mesh out.
