Although beforehand It may seem like something from science fiction or just a joke, the truth is that we mean it. Microsoft Research has announced that within a few months will launch a mosquito trap with its hardware and software.
And although it will come a little late for some areas of the world, the truth is that if it works, this mosquito trap could be quite appreciated by many users and by many countries suffering waves of disease from this insect transmitter.
Microsoft Research created a mosquito trap to end the Zika virus plague
The truth is that the idea of the project was born as a remedy to fight against the epidemics that mosquitoes spread. So at the beginning of the year an outbreak of the Zika virus appeared in Latin America, this virus was spread by mosquitoes. Apparently Microsoft Research has created an IoT device that will be loaded with data from entomologists who will use the gadget to lure mosquitoes into their trap and hunt them down.
With this simple operation Microsoft Research intends end mosquito pests that certain people live inevitably when the good temperatures arrive.
Unfortunately this mosquito trap from Microsoft Research not yet available to the end user But the first tests carried out are encouraging and it seems that in a short time we will have this mosquito trap available and working.
I personally think this mosquito trap is a great idea, not only because it will help fight the Zika virus but because in many countries it will mean a drastic reduction in medical expenses and a longer life expectancy for its citizens, since it is mosquitoes that spread many diseases. Even so, like me, many of us do not know what techniques they will use to attract mosquitoes to their trap, something that still remains a secret.
