OT: Blinding Bugs with a Laser Pointer
D from BC
Which reminded me of a utube video of a spider chasing after a laser
spot.
So I get the laser pointer(actually a laser distance measurement tool)
and aim it near the bug.
It flies!
I don't like flies and when it relanded on the ceiling I decided to do
a less friendly test.. Laser blinding! muhahahhaha.... :P
I rested the laser spot all over the fly. A good 30 seconds.
I probably fried every light receptor.
The fly took off did a few chaotic circles in the air and I lost track
of it.
It did not reland on the ceiling.
I need more power! :P
1W laser fly zapper project???
With sniper scope of course :)

Some time ago it was discussed here to use a laser from an old DVD burner.
I joked you could scan using a mirror assembly, and when you get a reflection
increase power and burn the bug.
Joked the experiment would leave all sorts of burning spots on the wall paper.
Then a while ago I read somebody at NASA actually did it,
and they can, from the reflection frequency, even determine what sort of bug
is in the beam, and *only* shoot mosquitos that way...
No it was not April 1, but hey, I did think of it first :-)

Neato..
I wonder if it'll become a pest control method..
For example..
A laser unit is placed on the floor, turned on and then it starts
scanning for crawling bugs ...especially roaches.
The scan height is low for low odds of blinding someone.
When a roach has been detected, a deadly pulse is triggered.
If there's no misses then it might be possible there will be no damage
to the baseboards (burnt spots) and low risk of setting the house on
fire. :P

>Neato..
The amount of power to blind a bug should be orders of magnatude less
than that which would cause baseboard burn spots.

eventually flew into the ground. I did another, and another, and
another until I was finally convinced that the bright light was indeed
corrupting their nav systems. And this was just a big flashlight from

could hold it right on the bug for a bit.

I think a laser bug burner would be more effective pest control than
bug blinder.
Roaches have very good odor receptors and iirc that is the primary way
roaches find food.
iirc.. roaches don't have much use for eyes.
I vote for bug burner instead of bug blinder.

It'll be very improbable to get a bare foot in the firing line by
accident.
Maybe in the fine print it can say:
The Floor Scan anti-bug laser system would have to be respected like a
spring mousetrap.
'Don't stick your finger in the mousetrap!'
I think it'll be doable to have firmware that can differentiate
between little bugs and big feet.
(The scan laser only gets a power pulse (turns into a 'death beam')
when the firmware calculates a roach size and movement.)

roaches have antennas that are very sensitive to air current changes,move

You ever see a Palmetto bug? It's a LARGE cockroach,about 1.5-2" long,full
grown. They fly,too.
I don't think a laser would bother them unless it was capable of frying it
in an instant.You'd have trouble keeping the spot on it for any length of
time.

One night last year, I needed a hard copy of a small schematic
and hit the print button. Out came the schematic plus six roach
legs and two antennae, all "printed" on the paper. I had visions
of having to take my laser printer apart to clean off the remains
of the bug squashed and spread over several rollers, possibly
also necessitating replacement of the toner because of a damaged
drum.
When I took out the toner cartridge, I saw the body of the roach
resting against the paper feed roller. Fortunately, the body had
been too big to go in. I took it out with a pair of tweezers and
placed it on the floor. I was amazed to see it still wriggling
and then walking on the stumps, albeit very slowly. I enjoy
killing roaches but making them suffer needlessly is another
thing. I quickly squashed it. Here's a picture:

Is that before or after you apply the lighted match?

On of the examples in Phil Hobbs' optics book was for a fictional (I
assume) laser bug zapper. IIRC it included a fully worked out flying
spot laser scanner to locate the bug.

A few years ago some local wasps made the mistake of setting up shop in
the external vent for our cooker extractor fan. Ready made ducting to
focus and contain the bug spray, perfect!

Not when they're wasps and hornets, living in/on my house. I killed

last spring. I'm sure I'll be back at it again next spring.

Might've been a similar product. I recall calcium phosphide has been sold
for killing moles and the like. Moisture causes it to release phosphine
("hydrogen phosphide" as it were), which bears a strong resemblance to your
above comment. Phosphide is a major impurity of carbide, which doesn't
really mean all that much (it could be parts per million, which would be
fairly pure actually), but because it's so poisonous and smelly, it's a
notable component of the stuff.

Unlikely - point it skywards or horizontal above the crop, and with
enough energy to fatally injure, not incinerate. Turn them into fertilizer.

more at that wavelength than any other part of the fly idk how it
would've damaged it any more than any other part of the fly. Handheld
red laser pointer certainly wouldn't cause ionization. With enough power
I'm sure you could focus enough energy on the poor thing to damage it
with any wavelength but I'd guess the wings would go first.
Also OP is claiming he was able to hold a handheld laser pointer beam
directly on a fly's eye for 30 seconds from across a room. Ok...
Maybe flies have some more generally weakly light-sensitive receptors on
their extremities. Maybe getting hit with the laser pointer beam felt
like a soothing shower, that's why it stayed so long.

How to Build a Mosquito Trap From an Old Tire
Mosquitoes love old tires. Scientists aren't exactly sure why.
There's something about the warm rubber - a chemical compound that
the mosquitoes can smell, perhaps - that attracts the insects to lay
their eggs in the tires' hollow insides. In backyard settings, old
tires are one of the biggest risk factors for mosquito breeding,
producing up to a third of all mosquitoes in the area.

Genetic Control of Mosquitoes
Genetics can potentially provide new, species-specific,
environmentally friendly methods for mosquito control. Genetic
control strategies aim either to suppress target populations or to
introduce a harm-reducing novel trait. Different approaches differ
considerably in their properties, especially between self-limiting
strategies, where the modification has limited persistence, and
self-sustaining strategies, which are intended to persist
indefinitely in the target population and may invade other
populations. Several methods with different molecular biology are
under development and the first field trials have been completed
successfully.
http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-ento-011613-162002
Personally, I like the Gene Drive approach. Self-propagating. Useful for
other pests, such as screwworm. These can attack anyone:
