With the impending monsoons, mosquitoes are often an uninvited guest in our homes and office spaces. So far, we rely on gas-based solutions to kill mosquitoes, which make living spaces uncomfortable as a side effect. Now, though, you can rely on lasers to tackle these tiny monsters.
A groundbreaking innovation in mosquito control has emerged with the launch of the world’s first Portable Mosquito Air Defense system on Indiegogo – the crowdfunding platform for experimental projects. This one-of-a-kind device, designed to detect and eliminate mosquitoes using advanced LiDAR technology and lasers. No gas, no liquid – just space-age tech to make your living/work space mosquito-free.
The campaign, which went live recently, has already garnered significant attention for its unique approach to mosquito eradication. Utilising LiDAR—light detection and ranging technology—the device can accurately detect mosquitoes in various environments, from homes to outdoor spaces. Once identified, the system deploys precision lasers to neutralise the pests, offering a chemical-free and eco-friendly alternative to traditional repellents and insecticides.
“Detecting mosquitoes with LiDAR and eliminating them with lasers is a game-changer,” said the project’s creators in their Indiegogo pitch. “This technology is applicable to a wide range of scenarios, providing a portable solution that anyone can use to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
The device’s compact design ensures portability, making it ideal for travelers, campers, and residents in mosquito-prone regions, with potential applications in homes, offices, and even disaster relief zones where mosquito infestations can magnify health risks.
Public response has been enthusiastic, with many praising the device’s potential to improve quality of life in mosquito-heavy areas. However, experts caution that real-world testing will be crucial to validate its effectiveness and scalability.

The product is currently available on Indiegogo as a project, seeking crowdfunding to cover the development and manufacturing expenses. The maker is offering early-bird pledges at discounted rates.
The campaign says that prototypes are already in development and a target launch date is set for late 2026, pending successful funding and testing phases.
