Problem
Mosquitoes bite humans and pets, spread diseases, and create persistent nuisance in indoor and outdoor living spaces, especially where chemical repellents are undesirable or ineffective.
Solution
Tornyol provides a palm‑sized autonomous drone that continuously patrols a user‑defined area to detect and eliminate mosquitoes without chemicals. The drone uses ultrasonic sonar to recognize the wingbeat frequency of mosquitoes in real time and then intercepts them with its propellers, grinding the insects safely. A dedicated base station handles automatic recharging, firmware updates, and system monitoring, enabling hands‑free operation 24 hours a day. The device is silent, lightweight (40 g), and designed to be safe around children and pets, offering a chemical‑free alternative for residential mosquito control.
Target Audience
Homeowners, renters, and small‑business owners (e.g., patio cafés, vacation rentals) who need continuous, chemical‑free mosquito protection for indoor and outdoor spaces.
