A Chinese-developed device that uses AI, LiDAR and radar to detect and eliminate mosquitoes with a precision laser has entered mass production. Changzhou-based Photon Matrix Lab said the first units are expected to reach buyers before the end of August. The portable device is being sold in infrared and blue-laser versions through its online store.

A Chinese-developed device that uses lasers to detect and eliminate mosquitoes has moved into mass production, with the first units set to reach buyers before the end of August, developer Photon Matrix Lab said in an update on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo.

How the device works?

The portable unit, built by Changzhou-based Photon Matrix Lab, combines LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar and AI-powered computer vision to spot mosquitoes and similarly sized flying insects, then fires a precision laser to eliminate them mid-air. The company has confirmed that production began this month and has opened an official online store selling both infrared and blue-laser versions of the device directly to consumers.

The launch arrives as China's anti-mosquito industry expands rapidly. Xinhua reports that Jinhua city in Zhejiang province alone exported mosquito-repellent goods worth more than 45 million yuan (roughly $6.7 million) in the first half of 2025, a jump of 65.1 percent from the previous year. Industry estimates cited by Xinhua peg the broader mosquito-control market at 7.86 billion yuan in 2025, with projections to nearly double to 12.43 billion yuan by 2030.
