Well, there was at least one startup that addressed the issue of flies/mosquitoes indoors. Bzigo. https://bzigo.com/

It's a machine vision system that tracks mosquitoes and aims a laser pointer on them (so you can swat them). Don't know if this company still exists. It was/is an Israeli start-up and apparently not an April Fool's day joke.

It seems to me the best solution is to use screens, but that is not as sexy as machine vision.

There are lots of windows that don’t work with screens. For example some windows are pushed out as opposed to up, and the latching mechanism would conflict with the screen.
