A unique mosquito-bait device developed by a desi man has gone viral on social media. The device reportedly uses a laser-like beam to target and eliminate mosquitoes mid-air, akin to advanced missile defence systems. The invention is being praised online for its creativity and potential, sparking curiosity among users and even humorous speculation about its possible use in space research.
Mosquitoes have long been a major nuisance to humans, causing widespread diseases and even leading to deaths. While people rely on sprays, coils, and electronic devices, these often lose effectiveness over time. In a viral video, a homemade device is seen targeting and killing mosquitoes mid-air, much like defence systems shoot down incoming missiles.
How Does The Device Work?
The video shows a device that emits a brief, blue laser-like beam, instantly killing mosquitoes. The beam flashes momentarily, locks on its target, and disappears once the mosquito is eliminated. A caption in the video jokingly claims, “He built an S-400 style anti-mosquito system at home,” and further adds that “ISRO has offered him a job immediately.”
The video, shared by the Instagram page @tatvavaani, also carries a satirical line in the comments: “If he can target mosquitoes mid-air, he can surely tackle satellites too,” supposedly quoted from the ISRO chief. While the story is likely humorous and not officially confirmed, it highlights how creative thinking can capture public imagination and even catch the attention of prestigious institutions like ISRO. The video has garnered over lakhs of views in just two days. Social media users have praised the invention and expressed interest in installing similar devices in their homes. One user asked, “How much does one mosquito-killing shot cost?” while another suggested the technology could benefit DRDO, citing concerns about countries developing mosquito-sized drones.
While the claim that ISRO offered him a job remains unverified, it is true that India’s space agency actively encourages private innovation and unique ideas. Whether this mosquito-killing laser will be used in space remains to be seen, but it has certainly sparked conversation and admiration.
