Very cool project. Love the name!

Tree of heaven is invasive as well, I wonder if using it as bait reduces the risk of attracting native/helpful insects

Reminded me a bit of this project that shoots mosquitoes with lasers: https://youtu.be/fH_x3kpG8Z4

Maybe I've read too many sci-fi novels, but I have to wonder how long before it finds a military use?
