So can we now build a decoy that emits CO2, human sweat odour, and heat, that traps and kills mosquitos?

- AirborneUnicorn 8y agoHere's a product I found awhile back: http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/ http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/
- geomark 8y agoYeah, I found that product shortly after moving to Thailand. Unfortunately, the price in Thailand is many times the price shown on their website, over US$1,000. Here for example https://shopee.co.th/BlackHole-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B8%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%99-Mosquito-Magnet-Pioneer-i.107214889.1747737234 https://shopee.co.th/BlackHole-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E... That's the cheapest I have seen it in Thailand and at 39,000 Thai baht that is more than US$1,200.
- choonway 8y agoWe can just as easily build a drone that senses CO2, humans sweat odour and heat, that kills humans.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoI’d suggest that may cause some legal difficulties. Or military interest. It could also lend itself to a new interpretation of the term SWATing.
