Astronomers track centimeter-sized rocks up in space. Tracking a mosquito in the same room is not an issue. The rest of the “invention” is the problem.
Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system?

I don’t doubt a laser could fry a mosquito; but could a mosquito actually be seen on radar?

No they don’t. Our greatest success to date was predicting a 1m wide asteroid a whole 3 hours before it hit.
That’s actually impressive given the challenge at hand. But nobody is tracking centimeter sized objects outside Earths orbit. And the ones they are tracking in orbit are man made trash and not rocks.

As long as the wavelength is adequate, you can track anything.
