ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus and a method for controlling pests which, according to one aspect of the invention, uses a laser beam which is scanned over a defined area and incapacitates sensory organs of various pests when they enter the defined area. Such a pest control system uses a laser source in cooperation with a scanner which then repetitively scans the laser beam throughout the defined area. Any pest which wanders into this area, or is attracted into this area, is likely to sense the laser beam, typically through its eyes or light spot. The laser beam is of sufficient energy to destroy the sensory organ and incapacitate the pest.
