In the future, however, you could build at home a laser-based system that could specifically the cockroaches in the house.Ildar Rakhmatulin is a research associate at the Heriot-Watt University in the U.K. but has spent his time zapping mosquitoes with lasers. So, the much larger cockroaches should have been relatively easy to dominate.
Instead of simply zapping the cockroaches, Rakhmatulin used his device at various power settings and found that at lower power levels of the laser, he could trigger the flight response in the roaches and prevent them from sheltering in a specific area. At higher power settings, the laser simply killed them.
