Summary
$988 Photon Matrix home units and $1,088 industrial versions are now on sale from the company’s website, with first shipments expected later this month after mass production began.
The system targets mosquitoes within a 6-meter range across a 90-degree scan, using LiDAR, mmWave radar and AI vision to detect insects 2mm to 20mm moving at up to 1 meter per second.
Photon Matrix says the laser device has passed safety certifications and will not harm people, pets or birds, though independent real-world testing is still limited and laser-use concerns remain.
Launched on Indiegogo in July 2025, the product pitches itself as a chemical-free alternative for homes, hospitals and other fixed sites where mosquito-borne disease remains a public-health threat.
