# 2021 The Wing Guard |
The Wing Guard is a non-toxic insect repelling device that mimics the visual, movement, and sound of the dragonfly to improve the hygiene conditions and experience of temporary food services. The goal is to avoid the transmission of various serious infectious diseases in places that depend on temporary food service establishments where the presence of insects, especially flies, is both a nuance and a serious health concern for the seller and the consumer. It replicates the characteristic of the dragonfly, a natural predator, most feared by insects, in order to repel them.
