A technology company from Shenzhen, called Photonmatrix Tech Co., has made a new device that kills mosquitoes indoors using artificial intelligence, cameras, and a laser. The device uses its cameras to find small flying insects and checks if they are mosquitoes. If it finds a mosquito within six metres, the device points a laser at the insect and quickly fires to kill it.

The device was created because many people want a way to control mosquitoes without using chemicals or strong smells. Traditional products like sprays and coils can be unpleasant or use chemicals, but this device offers a clean and automatic solution using modern technology.

Now, the main result is that people are very interested, but experts say the safety of the laser device must be carefully checked before it is sold for home use.
