Due to their disease transmission, mosquitoes are the deadliest animal, killing over a million people each year. In addition, mosquitoes cause discomfort for adults and especially children who may suffer heavily from mosquito bites. Indeed, a study shows that most respondents considered mosquitoes to be a problem. Unfortunately, a combination of environmental change and urbanization help mosquitoes spread into new areas. Spraying mosquito repellent to eliminate mosquitoes was shown to be harmful for humans as well, and other devices fail to eliminate all mosquitoes. Therefore, we propose the development of an insect killer drone. The drone will include a tiny gun that, once the drone approaches the mosquito, will be able to eliminate it. The system also includes a docking station that detects the mosquitoes and controls the drone. The drone is intended to be autonomous but may allow manual control of the drone and tiny gun.
