I was actually thinking about it for population control because it could be running almost constantly. And energy wise, I’m not really concerned. I’m on solar+batteries, and anything I can do to prevent juice going to HECO is worth it to me.
If you want population control, just get some buckets and put some water and a mosquito dunk in them. The mosquitos will be attracted to the stagnant water but all the eggs will get eaten by bacteria.
This is also how mosquito magnets work. Release CO2 and an attractant, catch the fuckers in a bag, and they dessicate. Unfortunately, it doesn’t need lasers and can’t shoot your eye out. I’m sure it’s also more expensive, I mean profitable.
