Photon Matrix, a company that developed a laser‑based mosquito control device, announced that its product is now commercially available for $988 for the home model and $1,088 for the industrial model, with shipments slated to begin later this month. The device entered crowdfunding in July, promising a six‑meter detection radius and a 90‑degree horizontal scanning plane, and uses LiDAR, mmWave radar and an AI vision module to locate insects measuring 2–20 mm in size moving at up to 1 m/s. The infrared version is marketed for residential use while the blue‑laser model targets industrial applications; both employ a focused laser beam to neutralize mosquitoes. The manufacturer released test videos indicating successful target engagement, though no independent third‑party evaluation has been published. Safety certifications state that the laser will not harm humans, pets or birds when used as intended. Traditional chemical pesticides continue to be used despite known health impacts, prompting interest in non‑chemical alternatives. Other projects, such as DIY laser rigs and autonomous micro‑drones, have been explored but remain prototypes and are not yet market‑ready. The high price point and limited independent verification raise questions about the device’s practicality and safety for broad adoption.
