$5 electric anti-mosquito "tennis" rackets.

I'd install a device if there existed one: say something 2 meters high from the ground that can throw lasers but only on the vertical part of the wall (so above human eye level). A high res camera. Detect mosquito: fire laser.

These little fuckers shall, invariably, fly and land on the upper part of the various walls.

Maybe just a wide (say 2 feet / 60 cm) dual-sided tape: I'd tape happily that to the upper part of the walls in my room. Mosquitoes are bound to land there.

I agree it's insane we're in 2025 and this hasn't been solved yet. The company to solve the mosquito issue is going to be richer than NVidia.

Just invent these things: I'll buy them all. Just as I bought several of these anti-mosquito electric rackets and they're honestly a godsend compared to the "roll a magazine and try to squish the mosquito" from my youth.
