        @briankrebs I've been talking about this approach to pest control for years - no environmental risk and no "tolerance" to develop.

        @briankrebs I want a laser cannon for blackflies, myself. Have a magnet for mosquitos that does a bang-up job on my swampy backyard.

        @briankrebs Interesting to see something like this tied to CO2 lures. CO2 is apparently how Mosq locate their targets.
