“the device additionally uses millimeter-wave radar to scan its field of view for larger objects such as people and pets. If any of these are detected, its mosquito-zapping laser will not fire”
I’d want to see some third-party testing around eye safety before putting this in my home.
If there are no people around I wonder what is the utility of killing the mosquitos?
"Why should I kill all the mosquitos in this store 5 minutes before we open if there's nobody around right now?"
There is no eye safety - if it burns mosquito then it burns your retina. And if you aren't moving, lets say sleeping, would the device decide it is ok to fire?
Instead of laser, they should have made a mechanical hand with fly zapper, fragile/soft enough to not injure people and pets, yet strong enough to kill mosquito. Or even like in that movie where kung-fu master catches a fly using chopsticks :)

This isn't the best example, how is it supposed to hit your retina if your eyes are closed?
