LOL....In Eastern NC, you would need a small portable nuclear reactor to keep it powered up.

Apparently the thing is set to sell for between $450 to $650 which is a lot of money to zap mosquitoes, and leaves me wondering two questions:

1. Seems to me such a device would need a pretty powerful laser on the order of a couple of watts which to my knowledge would be illegal for a consumer to own and operate in the USA outside of an indoor research lab or test bench.
2. The device would have to scan the whole room or space and make intelligent decisions about where to aim and not so to only hit bugs and not shoot a person or a pet in the eye.

The laser weapon can kill mosquitoes, and it also has a detection system which makes it safe for humans and pets.

It must house a fixed laser which it bounces off a servo-actuated gimballed mirror of some kind to place the laser spot on the target knowing both location, distance, direction, and speed.

That's awesome! I've learned a few things recently about mozzies, first, they don't smell my blood type (A-) as well as they do the O+ and more common blood types, and I don't get bit as much. I was recently at an outdoor restaurant and parents were using an electrified mini tennis racket to zap them overhead, mainly using it over their children, who I guess mosquitoes target first.
