I think we should use it to trap all mosquitoes and kill them all at once. Interesting that sound can manipulate or attract mosquitoes.

When using different frequencies you can probably choose if you'd like to attract female or male mosquitoes, since their sound-receiving antenna's freq ranges are different. At its resonant frequency, the male antenna approximately matches the dominant frequency component of the female flight sounds and recognizes this as a green light for mating. Very interesting.
