    Bug Eater - Outdoor Mosquito Trap

    The Pestrol Bug Eater Outdoor Mosquito Trap is a cutting-edge solution designed to effectively eliminate mosquitoes and other flying insects from your outdoor spaces. As an outdoor mozzie killer, it features a compact and discreet design that allows it to blend seamlessly into your environment, remaining virtually invisible while delivering excellent mosquito elimination.

    What sets the Bug Eater apart from traditional traps is its innovative approach. It combines UV light technology with a unique prism system specifically tailored to attract blood-sucking and larvae-laying insects. This dual-action mechanism not only targets adult mosquitoes but also disrupts their breeding cycle by removing males from the population.

    Covering an impressive area of up to 1 acre, the Bug Eater is ideal for large outdoor spaces such as backyards, patios, and entertainment areas. Its durable, all-weather construction ensures year-round protection, while whisper-quiet operation allows for uninterrupted outdoor enjoyment.

    Additionally, the trap effectively attracts a wide range of flying insects, including biting midges, wasps, and moths, making it a versatile solution for comprehensive outdoor pest management. This format makes it easier to read while still conveying all the essential information about the Pestrol Bug Eater.

    Key Features

    • 8-Watt Ultra-Violet Black Light: Attracts insects from up to 1 km away, utilizing a specific wavelength that targets blood-sucking and larvae-laying insects.
    • Chemical-Free Operation: Kills insects by drowning them in soapy water, eliminating the need for harmful chemicals or pesticides.
    • All-Weather Construction: Rated for outdoor use in all weather conditions, allowing for year-round pest control.
    • Compact Design: The trap’s discreet size ensures it won’t be obtrusive in your outdoor setting.
    • Mounting Options: Comes with a mounting bracket for easy attachment to posts or buildings, or it can be used freestanding.
    • Extension Cord: Includes a 1.8-meter extension cord for flexible placement away from power sources.
    • Easy Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep; simply fill the tray with water and low-scent dishwashing detergent to break the surface tension.

    How to Use

    Initial Placement

    • Place the Bug Eater at least 3 metres away from entertainment areas
    • Mount the unit between 50-100 cm off the ground using the provided mounting bracket
    • Attach to a post, fence, or building, or use it freestanding
    • Ensure the trap is facing the area you want to protect

    Preparation

    • Fill the tray 2/3 full with water
    • Add a small squirt of low-scented dishwashing detergent to break surface tension
    • This ensures insects will sink and drown when caught

    Operation

    • Turn on the trap at dusk
    • Turn off at dawn
    • Operate the trap every night for best results
    • Avoid placing near competing light sources like street lights or setting sun

    Maintenance Tips

    • Clean the lens periodically to ensure maximum ultraviolet radiation
    • Check and empty the tray regularly
    • Replace the UV bulb every 24 months for optimal performance

    Important Placement Notes:

    • The trap covers up to 1 acre directionally
    • Works best by line-of-sight attraction
    • Can be used in all weather conditions (though recommended to protect during heavy rain)

    Does this trap draw the insects into the house from outside? RON EDDIE asked on 28 April 2025

    Hey Ron,
    The Bug Eater - Outdoor Mosqsuito Trap is designed to be used outdoors. The UV light will draw insects towards the trap, try placing the unit somewhere away from entry points to the house to mimimize any stray insects coming inside.

    Am limited with power points and do not want to use extension leads David Knibbe asked on 22 January 2024

    Hey David,
    If you're dealing with Mosquitos and don't have the power point to run the Bug Eater - Outdoor Mosquito Trap, we have a few solar powered units available in our range.

    Without knowing the specifics of your situation, I would recommend something like the Executioner Solar Mozzie Zapper. If you have more questions or would like some more tailored advice, I would highly recommend getting into contact with our customer service team at [email protected] or by calling us on 1800 33 88 88.

      I didn’t know how many bad insects my back yard has until I see them in the tray of my big eater. All I can say is this is a perfect pest control solution, no chemical involved, simple and effective! Excellent product!
