Mosquito is a non-invasive solution to a very urban problem. It has been specifically designed to disperse groups of youths who may be loitering in areas where they could prove to be a nuisance. It is an effective deterrent that causes no physical pain or damage, even in the event of long term exposure.
How the Mosquito Works
The system generates a pulsed, near sonic tone at around 16KHz, close to the limit of the hearing range of people under 25 years of age. The sound, though not painful in any way, becomes highly annoying after 5 or so minutes exposure. The result is that most under 25s leave the area immediately, whilst the majority of those over the age of 30, because of natural age related hearing loss, either just hear, or, as in most cases, are totally unaware of any noise at all.
The system is designed to be used for up to 20 minutes at a time. The unit incorporates a 20 minute cut-off time to avoid unnecessary annoyance.
Suitable for the following applications:
- Industrial premises - School grounds - Construction sites - Outside shop entrances - Car parks - Residential areas - Children’s play areas - Railway platforms
Installation
The unit has been designed to be easily fitted, as easy as an exterior spotlight. An approved installer can fit the unit in around an hour.
Build Quality
The Mosquito is housed in a custom designed, tough vandal resistant metal casing and is consequently very strong. We recommend the unit is mounted at least 2.5 metres high to reduce the risk of vandalism.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order
It is now a legal requirement that a full fire risk assessment is undertaken for all commercial premises.
The assessment must cover the following: Fire alarm and detection, emergency lighting, signs, notices, means of escape and extinguishers.
The Facts
The average cost of a fire in a commercial building is estimated at £44,400, £27,000 of which is attributable to property damage. Over the 12 month period covered by the survey* there were 13,900 fires in commercial premises.
The average cost of a fire in a public sector building is estimated at £40,800, £27.00 of which is attributable to property damage. Over the 12 month period covered by the survey* there were 9,300 fires in public sector properties.
The average cost of a fire in a domestic property is estimated at £25,000, £7,300 of which is attributable to property damage. Over the 12 month period covered by the survey* there were 57,000 fires in domestic premises.

Further Information
Latest government figures estimate that fire costs the economy nof England and Wales over £7 billion per year. Over a third of this figure is due to ‘malicious fire damage’ which includes both arson and malicious false alarms. Losses due to the consequences of fire, including property damage, lost output and business and the economic cost of injuries and fatalities account for over £2.5 billion per year. The average cost of a fire in a commercial building is estimated at £44,400. The report also suggests that the average cost of a deliberately set fire could be nearly double that for an accidental fire.
The value of business lost as a result of fire over the period is estimated to be £43 million.
CareLINK
24 Hour Emergency Care System
Immediate care and assistance at the touch of a button
Nobody wants to lose their independence whether through growing old, becoming seriously ill or disabled. Given the choice, being able to live at home in familiar surroundings is preferred, but for many this leads to serious concerns.
CareLINK provides real solutions to these worries, and provides the right assistance at the right time of day or night.
How does it work?
In an emergency simply press either the button on the pendant or the red button on the CareLINK base unit.
The base unit will now automatically dial the response centre, where our operators will know who is calling and will have the callers details available. The operator will ask what the problem is.
Callers will be able to be heard from most areas of their home through the base unit’s sensitive microphone and powerful loud speaker. The operator will then ensure that the caller receives the right assistance quickly, whether that is your neighbour to visit, a family member to pop in, the doctor to call or the emergency services to be alerted. If the caller is unable to speak or cannot be heard the operator will still take action by contacting someone who you have informed us have the keys to your home.
