The buzzing sound circling your ears before you fall asleep—there is no more annoying uninvited guest in the summer than a mosquito.

However, a groundbreaking technology to catch these mosquitoes has emerged.

A micro-drone is seen flying around indoors.

A moment later, it dashes toward a small target in the air in an instant.

This is a 'mosquito-hunting drone' currently being developed by a startup in France.

Although it weighs only 40 grams, it uses ultrasonic sensors and microphones to detect the sound of a mosquito's wingbeats, then automatically tracks and eliminates them.

The goal is to patrol the surrounding area 24 hours a day, even outdoors, to control mosquitoes without the need to spray insecticides.

However, it is said that further verification of its performance in actual outdoor environments is still needed.
