It’s a prime example of unnecessary complexity and risk. You get comparable results from a box fan pointed at a wire screen (mosquitoes get trapped on the mesh by the airflow), but nobody writes breathless articles about a box fan.

- adrianN 4y agoYou can install a mosquito killing laser outdoors and have a large area of no mosquitos. How effective is a fan for that use case?
- hyperbovine 4y agoGiven that the laser is pure vaporware, I’d say it’s infinitely more effective.

- mellavora 4y agoWell, you specified a large area of no mosquitos. So I imagine the laser and the box fan would have equivalent effectiveness.
- danielheath 4y agoI mean, one of them would at least get you fewer mosquitos - especially if run daily.
