So they would rather wait for someone to use the patent and sue them than license it out and make bank off the best damn idea to come around I'm the last 50 years? That sucks.

Some university students made one for a project at one point. It had two posts with cameras facing each other and was able to specifically identify female mosquitoes by their wing beat pattern and zap them out of the air, forming a kind of invisible anti-mosquito fence.

Why this isn't a product I can buy or build with the right equipment from a pack on the internet yet is beyond me. I'd set up four of those to enclose my patio and enjoy laser-based mosquito-free beers all summer long!

They may be underestimating just how much some people would pay for that!
