A company based in Rhode Island called AmBio has come up with a cool use for 802.11b (i.e. WiFi) technology.  They’re hooking their Mosquito Magnets up to a network that will create a kind of invisible fence for mosquitos around things like golf courses.  From the story:

We got the idea from institutions that were jury-rigging our
technology to computer networks and mesh networks, with PC panels, to
see how many mosquitoes they’d caught or how much propane they had
left…It’s unbelievable the lengths people will go to, to get rid of
mosquitoes," said Hosea, a former National Science Foundation Fellow in
artificial intelligence.

"We’ve meshed a great mosquito-catching machine with a computer
technology on top of it, and wireless network technology on top of
that, and then turned it into a great defensive shield against
mosquitoes coming into your habitat," he said.

I sure hope they come up with a home version so we can enjoy our deck in months when the temperature actually gets above 80 degrees.
