A new AI-powered laser defense system, dubbed the 'Iron Dome' for mosquitoes, has been made available for preorder to protect California residents from West Nile virus-carrying pests.
The device uses blue laser technology to track and zap mosquitoes mid-air in backyard environments, offering a non-chemical alternative to traditional pest control methods.
The launch coincides with a surge in West Nile virus cases across California, with health officials monitoring the effectiveness of such innovative technologies in reducing local transmission rates.
