China’s Laser Mosquito Killer Enters Mass Production for August Shipments
A Chinese company has started making a small machine that can find and kill mosquitoes with a laser.
It uses several sensors and artificial intelligence to spot flying insects.
The machine then aims a laser at the insect in the air.
The company says the first machines should be shipped before the end of August.
It will sell versions using infrared or blue lasers.
Another company, Bzigo, makes a device that finds mosquitoes but does not kill them.
Experts and customers still need more information about how well and safely the Chinese device works.
The product is part of a growing market for automatic ways to control mosquitoes.
Changzhou-based Photon Matrix Lab has begun mass-producing a portable laser device designed to detect and kill mosquitoes.
The device combines LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, computer vision and artificial intelligence to identify flying insects.
Photon Matrix Lab says the first units will reach buyers before the end of August, with infrared and blue-laser versions available.
China’s mosquito-control market is estimated at 7.86 billion yuan in 2025 and projected to reach 12.43 billion yuan by 2030.
The device’s performance and safety claims have not been independently verified, and adoption will depend on effectiveness, reliability, safety and price.
- Who
- Changzhou-based Photon Matrix Lab developed the device; Israeli company Bzigo is cited as a competitor.
- What
- A portable system that uses sensors, artificial intelligence and a precision laser to detect and eliminate mosquitoes and similarly sized flying insects has entered mass production.
- When
- Production began this month, and the first shipments are expected before the end of August; market figures cited in the report cover 2025 and projections to 2030.
- Where
- The device was developed in Changzhou, China, while Bzigo’s competing product comes from Israel.
- Why
- The launch reflects growing demand for automated mosquito-control technology in China and internationally.

What the laser adds
Automation proponents
Photon Matrix Lab’s system is designed to complete the process automatically by detecting and physically destroying mosquitoes in mid-air.
Cautious assessors
Bzigo’s Iris focuses on locating mosquitoes and marking their positions, leaving the user to eliminate them; this may appeal to buyers who prefer a lower-intensity detection approach.
Readiness for wider adoption
Automation proponents
Mass production and direct consumer sales suggest laser-based mosquito control is becoming a practical addition to automated pest-control products.
Cautious assessors
Broader adoption depends on independently demonstrated effectiveness, safety, reliability and price, while the company’s performance claims remain unverified.
