These tiny missiles would sit in an array of hundreds on a platform the size of a dinner plate. At the push of a button a jolt of electricity would be delivered to one of them, which would travel toward anything vibrating between 250 and 600 hertz and upon arrival detonate in a tiny burst of shrapnel.

I would set this up by a stream in the woods, then get a lawn chair and watch for a while. [DIYMatt, Jul 21 2010]

       Careful, [blissmiss]! Don't be laughing between 250-600Hz!

       It's the time of year for imaginative ways to kill insects. See link.

       See [links]. I did a bit of investigation after recalling the link referenced in my annotation to "Mosquitometer."   

       The .wav file of the female 'anophles stevensi' seems to have 3 predominant harmonics, at about 377, 754, and 1131 Hz, all modulated a few percent at about 11Hz.   

       So you may want to be more specific in your vibration description.

       I would rather have a mosquito killing laser beam [link].

       How about a lead hat with a wide brim and a big lump of Cobalt -60 on top ?
—8th of 7, Jul 21 2010
   

       Cobalt 60 wouldn't kill mosquitos, just everybody else around you.

       I like this idea. Just about to go to Finland for a holl and will be killing them manually in large numbers...
