#1 For some mysterious reason I feel like the next to end scene on BLAZING SADDLES, the Sheriff gloriously yelling - "Lets a'go down there and wipe them out"!

#2 Great idea...

Now used one of Johnson & Johnson's patents and modulate the same shells at the resonate brain frequency of the local species of mosquito (between 200 to 1500 HZ) and use the shells to provide local area denial to mosquito's for outdoor events.

#3 ...infrared shells could be shot into a house through window openings, thus allowing law enforcement personnel with night vision to be able to see what is happening inside a darkened house without the hostage taker being made aware that he/she has been illuminated.

Except, of course, that a foreign object has come sailing in through the window. That might give it away some.

#4 *as I sit here scratching myriads and myriads of bites* use the shells to provide local area denial to mosquito's for outdoor events Yes, please! Would the manufacturer be willing to bill me monthly for regular shipments?

#5 My concern too... and what if one of them infared shells went zinging into Mullah Omar's other eye and was embedded inside his skull? Think of the poor operator feeling like he was inside carlsbad Caverns or something.... great big empty void.

#6 trailing wife.
For close work.. Get a chain of IR (infra red) LEDs (Light emitting diodes). Now attach to a variable speed pulse generator.
Hang on your body or about your canoe. Adjust the frequency depending on species. You know you have it right when the start falling out of the air with grand mal seizures.
The man who invented it is a good friend's dad.
You can thank him for DEET, Deep Woods Off, Off, Windex, PlugIns, and a zillion other inventions at Johnson Wax.

Secret is that it is the resonate frequency of the bugs brain. Any stimulus they sense will do. Sound, Light, IR. IR doesn't bother us so it works!

DEET is doing a similar thing with chemical stimulus.
