I like to joke that the first 10-trillion dollar company will be the company that invents how to effectively deal with mosquitos.

I would happily pay $100/month for life to get rid of the issue. I live in a place with moderate mosquito activity, but it bothers me A LOT. And I lost countless nights sleep over trying to kill a mosquito in my bedroom.

I live in a high-mosquito area as well, and we have to worry about EEE, West Nile, and Zika. I'll be traveling to Mumbai soon, and they're just getting through a wave of Dengue Fever. It's time we as a species dealt with the four species of mosquito (out of hundreds) that bite humans.
