  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?
