The Mosquito Sniper

Some boffins have created a sensor and laser setup that detects mosquitoes in the air and shoots them down. Obvious safety issues aside, this is a really interesting and promising way to deal with nuisance bugs. Winnipeg doesn't need more fogging trucks, Winnipeg just needs a laser mounted on every street light.

Visit the Intellectual Ventures website to see two videos of mosquitoes in flight and one of mosquitoes being shot down.
