A new laser system can kill mosquitoes without harming other insects, as shown in slowmotion video. It's all part of the effort to combat malaria.

  • @SaltusEtiam they would need to kill both cuz since the females r the ones that bite, they spread the disease. but the males and females make more mosquitos so they both die.

  • I would hope that it targets male ones anyway so all mosquitoes can be eliminated.

  • yes hopefully this brings the extinction of mosquitos

  • it's like an old dog fight

  • @fab186 The laser isn't powerful enoguh to harm a human being.

  • @MCVastDifference same I agree completely!

  • @fab136

    Yep I agree! But if you live in a country with a lot of these pests and you have money to waste, I'd get one!

  • @fab186 Don't think it would do too much. Insects are fragile when it comes to focused heat, plus the laser is only emitted for a tenth of a second.

  • Poor lil guy
