Do it yourself

is it possible to make a system that will determine the location of an insect (by sound, radiation, radar) and shoot it down with radiation or some other method (preferably safe for humans)?

I'll just leave this and this here (not safe for humans)

You, apparently, have a bad idea - what swarms these bitches can fly ... there will not be enough cartridges. Although something is now being tested in secret from the enemy : ChemCam to call.
I would recommend a metal mosquito net with electricity. Or something like that. You can hang it on the ceiling - they like to sit there to digest, and people rarely go there.

A difficult task (: a mosquito flies (flies fast, an infection!) And in order to catch up with it, you need to predict its actions. Moreover, somehow mechanically direct this very gun and shoot from it. In general, it is difficult in the algorithmic sense, and in design.

Microsoft has a program like SDI, but against mosquitoes, as part of the fight against malaria in third countries.
I read about a Russian craftsman who made such a system at home, it seems on green lasers.
In principle, nothing complicated, only the problem is that it is necessary to supply a sufficiently large power to the point for a short time to burn it. This can be done by focusing several rays or one defocused to the point where the mosquito flies.
Security here is carried out programmatically - the system must separate mosquitoes and everyone else and track possible obstacles in the path of the rays.

If the distance from the installation to the mosquito is centimeters, you can shoot with a water pistol, but to detect and aim is the problem of choosing a video camera and optics.

1. Russian winter - weapons of mass destruction;
2. here in Thailand such badminton rackets are sold, charging from the network, they shock these pilots;
3. Google found with similar interest current developments with a laser, but they are all dangerous to the eyes.
