Chinese-developed laser mosquito killer enters mass production, first units due this month

Photon Matrix Lab has announced that its innovative, Chinese-developed laser mosquito-control device has officially entered mass production, with the first shipment scheduled for later this month. Combining LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, AI-powered vision, and a precision laser, the portable gadget detects and automatically eliminates mosquitoes and other small flying insects, distinguishing itself from competitors like Israel’s Bzigo Iris, which only marks insect locations using a low-intensity laser. This milestone arrives amid a booming domestic market—with China’s mosquito-control industry projected to surge from 7.86 billion yuan in 2025 to 12.43 billion yuan by 2030—and builds on a growing trend of high-tech pest control that includes automated robots utilizing thermal and UV simulation. While Photon Matrix’s consumer-friendly infrared and blue-laser models are now available through its newly opened online store, the technology still faces practical scrutiny regarding independent safety and performance verification, meaning these high-tech systems will initially complement rather than replace conventional pest-control methods.
