An In-Room Mosquito Tracking Device That Lets You Easily Kill Them

In the video, they use a Electric Fly Swatter. I vouch for it. It's incredible useful. Buy one asap.

From a comment:

> Rather than spotting them It should zap them directly using a powerful enough laser, and that I would buy.

Someone posted a project like that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28793660 but I'd be very nervous to use it.

  • Would that be fine if the laser is physically limited to tracking/shooting near the ceiling to avoid shooting humans?

I have been thinking about making a bee sized drone swarm that deals with mosquitoes but this would be a nice addition to it. A bunch of super small bee shaped drones wait passively, laser indicates mosquito position, bees go into hunt mode for the next 2 mins and then go back to charger

I wonder how much it actually costs to build. Open source version would be amazing.
