Alexey Burnakov:
Do you think it is technically very difficult to make an Arduino-based slash-and-burn homing cannon for mosquitoes? I've been dreaming about one of these over the summer. What wavelength of laser do you need, so that besides mosquitoes the room won't be scratched?

There is, they say, a very cheap and easy way to discourage the critters. People have tried it - it seems to work.

It's like Star Wars, shooting down enemy ships with a laser.

That would be a hit!
 
Alexey Kozitsyn:
It would be a bestseller!

Well, you can do whatever you want, but I think this system would be a bit slow for mosquitoes.

I think it would be all about cost and that's it... But it's a fun idea...

Once such a system is started, none of the mosquitoes in the room will ever be seen again.

The cost of an ardunna, an arduino isn't that great. Who comes up with a name like "arduino"?
 
Alexey Burnakov:
And don't do it with a laser, but with a zoom lens) then you won't burn anything unnecessary.
