- Tracks and zaps up to 30 mosquitoes per second using precision LiDAR and laser beams
- Safe for humans and pets with smart object detection that prevents misfires
- Portable, waterproof, and designed for both indoor and outdoor use with up to 6-meter range
In a quiet lab in Changzhou, China, a new kind of defense system hums to life, not against aircraft, but against the world’s deadliest animal: the mosquito. This isn’t science fiction. A laser-based device called Photon Matrix is now claiming the power to eliminate 30 mosquitoes every second, using advanced LiDAR technology to track and neutralize them mid-air. With the precision of a missile-defense system and the elegance of a home appliance, it may be the most high-tech bug zapper ever made.
• Laser-based mosquito killer developed in China
• Uses LiDAR to locate and target flying insects
• Claims to kill 30 mosquitoes per second
At the heart of this innovation is a technology usually reserved for self-driving cars and advanced weaponry: LiDAR. The Photon Matrix scans its environment, identifying mosquitoes in milliseconds. It detects their size, movement, and location with uncanny precision, firing a second laser beam to vaporize them before they land. Just as importantly, it continuously monitors for the presence of humans or pets, refusing to engage if there’s any risk of collateral damage.
• LiDAR used to identify and track mosquitoes
• Safety system prevents firing near humans or animals
• Dual-laser system calculates and eliminates target in milliseconds
The need for such a device is not just about convenience, it’s a matter of public health. Mosquitoes are responsible for over a hundred thousand deaths each year through the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and encephalitis. In the face of rising insecticide resistance and changing climates, a laser-based solution may represent a new frontier in disease prevention.
• Mosquitoes transmit deadly diseases worldwide
• Traditional methods are losing effectiveness
• Laser defense could offer a chemical-free alternative
Currently featured on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, the Photon Matrix is already generating attention. Its waterproof design, plug-and-play setup, and compatibility with power banks make it ideal for patios, gardens, and indoor areas alike. The base model offers a 3-meter range, while the pro version doubles that to 6 meters, both scanning within a 90-degree arc. Early backers can purchase the device starting at $468.
• Available in basic and pro versions
• Outdoor-ready and portable with USB power
• Pricing starts at $468 for early adopters
Whether it lives up to its claims remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: mosquito control just stepped into the laser age. With the Photon Matrix, the war against one of humanity’s oldest enemies may now be fought with silent beams of light, one bug at a time.
• Brings high-tech tools to backyard pest control
• Future-forward approach to global mosquito threat
• May signal a new era of non-toxic, automated defenses
