[0000] A pest control system is disclosed comprising an optical, computational, and monitoring subsystem, optionally mounted on a mobile platform. The optical system may include a neutralizing laser or multi-wavelength light source, discovery and detail cameras (optionally stereo), a beam-steering mechanism, tunable focus, and optional thermal or depth sensors. The processor, such as a GPU or FPGA, identifies insect or biological targets, adjusts laser focus by depth, and controls beam activation. A monitoring system verifies safety by detecting humans or other non-target entities using environmental and thermal cameras; if detected, laser firing is inhibited. The mobile platform may use wheels, propellers, tracks, or cables, with GPS and data links for remote control. A visible light pre-flash may induce a blink reflex before firing. In some embodiments, a scouting drone transmits target coordinates to the neutralization unit, enabling coordinated, efficient, and safe laser-based pest control.
