Abstract

Claims (22)

1 . A pest repelling fan, comprising:

A fan housing;

reflective fan blades supported on the fan housing;

a fan motor configured to spin the reflective fan blades; and

an ultrasound speaker system within the fan housing, the ultrasound speaker system configured to produce ultrasonic waves designed to deter pests,

wherein the targeted pests are flies,

wherein the pest repelling fan is portable,

wherein the fan blades are non-rigid and configured to automatically stop spinning upon contact,

wherein the sound waves emitted are at a changing frequency of between 25 to 45 KHZ for repelling flies, and

wherein the reflective blades are configured to create a visual disturbance that interferes with a flicker fusion rate of flies.

2 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the fan housing has an elongated profile.

3 . The pest repelling fan of claim 2 , wherein the reflective fan blades are supported proximate a top section of the fan housing.

4 . The pest repelling fan of claim 2 , wherein the fan housing has a conical and/or frustoconical geometry.

5 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the fan housing has a flat bottom surface.

6 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , further comprising a hanging hook attached to the fan housing, for hanging the fan.

7 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the sound waves emitted are at approximately 90 decibels.

8 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the sound waves are emitted at intervals.

9 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the frequency of the emitted sound waves gradually changes between 25 kilohertz and 45 kilohertz.

10 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the fan is controllable via an App provided on an electronic device.

11 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein blades may rotate at a speed of around 270 rounds per minute.

12 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the top and/or bottom surfaces of the fan blades are coated with patches of reflective material.

13 . The pest repelling fan of claim 1 , wherein the ultrasound speaker system and the fan blades are separately controlled.
