mosquito-billboard

A project in Brazil created a new billboard that aims to attract and kill mosquitoes. The billboard emits carbon dioxide and a lactic acid solution to mimic human breathing and sweat and then trapped inside eventually killing the mosquitoes.

This is a good project to be started here in the Philippines since the creator also releases the technical specifications as open source which means it’s free to copy or improve the project. You can visit the site here to study on it.
