9 years later and nothing, for real when can I expect to buy this? 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? I'm praying for this to be in my backyard...

If they could make a wearable version of this it'd be the best invention ever. Maybe you could rig it up to an autonomous drone that would follow you around and zap any mosquitos that come near.
