Anti-Loitering: Ultrasound

The app sends out irritating ultrasounds that only young adults and teenagers can hear. After a while the sound will become so annoying that they will have to leave the area or won’t even come near you.

This technique is already used as an repellant by police and local authorities worldwide to reduce anti-social behaviour among teenagers, such as loitering youth, vandalism, drug use, drug distribution, and violence.
