Scientists have developed a laser with artificial intelligence (AI) designed to neutralise cockroaches as a new form of pest control.
The team’s experiments showed that its laser system “enables the immediate and selective neutralisation of individual insects” from a distance of up to 1.2 metres.
You certainly want to be sure to have some remote kill switch for this device, as I would not want to walk up to it to disable it if it has some malfunction. Will also be interesting to see what else it zaps by mistake… although mosquitoes would be great!

It’s only a matter of time before they approve this on “human sized pests”
For the tower defense enthusiast.
Up to a distance of 1.2m seems quite low to me
Imagine this thing shooting lasers out to 5m plus ;-)
I legit could use this, but yeah the killswitch is probably a requirement
.
They could crank the power up but what if they miss ;-)
