Mosquito Control Trap – Outdoor Dominator
Pestrol Outdoor Dominator is an effective Mosquito Control Trap, simple and safe answer to your mosquito control problems. Using a powerful combination of mosquito lures: black light, heat and colour to effectively lure and eliminates mosquitoes.
The Pestrol Outdoor Dominator will do twice the area that the Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator will cover: 1 acre.
- Air-Actuated Gate System
- Our patented gate system employs a plastic board downwind of the motor which is opened by air from the powerful fan and closed by a spring.
- When the trap is powered “off”, captured insects cannot fly away upwards due to specially designed flaps that will automatically close.
Trap Placement
The location of your trap is a critical variable in maximizing capture rates. Most mosquito species avoid direct sunlight and wind so we recommend shaded, sheltered areas, preferably amongst bushes or shrubs and near any wetland area. Keep the trap away from areas frequented by humans and animals. Experiment with different locations to determine the most successful placement for your trap.
The positioning of the Pestrol Outdoor Dominator
For the best performance from your Mosquito Control Trap, first determine the source of the mosquito nuisance (Mosquitoes breed in wet areas like streams, marshland, wooded areas and gardens). Then use these rules to site the Trap:
- Place the MosquitoTrap between the mosquito source and areas of human activity.
- Place the Mosquito Trap as far away from people and as close to the mosquito source as possible. (Attract them to the Trap and not to you.)
- Place the Mosquito Trap upwind of the mosquito source but only if you can comply with Rule 1. (Mosquitoes sometimes use the wind to navigate.)
- Place the Mosquito Trap in a predominantly shaded area. (Most mosquitoes avoid direct sunlight.)
- Place the Mosquito Trap in a location protected from rain and strong wind. (Mosquitoes don’t fly in strong winds.)
- If severe weather conditions are predicted then store the Trap during this time.
Installations Best for:

I would say make the trap bigger, but then all of the wildlife that require insects to survive would become endangered species!!!!! Bloody ripper of a trap so far!!!

Works well, but the fan is a little noisy.

Hi Everybody,
We purchased 2 dominators as we are on a 2400 Square Meter block which is just over 1/2 acre. We back on to a council reserve and creek. Currently we have only one in operation.
We would struggle to sit outside at dusk and later in the evening without being bitten to death.
At first glance it is big and the motor a bit noisy to have close under the back patio making conversation with someone with it running difficult to hear.
We moved it to a different location that is between the reserve and our open under cover patio area.
After the first week our container was half full with moths, mosquitos, and various other bugs and after one month we can seat outside without being bitten alive (maybe one or two bits) per week. We are hoping the longer in operation it will break the midge breeding cycle.

Works well but a continual wining noise

I’ve tried to leave a 1* review twice, but they never seem to actually appear on the website.
So it’s a waste of money – kills moths but does nothing for mosquitoes, and the company doesn’t appear to actually allow negative reviews.

I got a Dominator over the summer as my daughter suffers quite allergic reactions to mosquito bites – which rather affects sitting outside on summer evenings.
I’ve now had it running 24/7 for over three months and the only thing which has affected mosquito numbers is the cooler weather in the last week or so. The Dominator does a great job of catching and killing moths and lacewings, but it’s not had any impact on the mosquito population – and I can’t even see any dead mosquitoes within the trap, it just doesn’t seem to attract them.
I contacted Customer Service after about 8 weeks of no impact, and received a clearly copied and pasted response about siting (we have a fairly small suburban garden) and the suggestion that I buy some boosters – having already spent well over $200 for a “mosquito trap” that neither attracts or traps mosquitoes, this was a very disappointing response.
Overall, hugely disappointing and at this stage a complete waste of my money.

It certainly catches insects and moths and mosquitoes. Very noisy with a high pitch fan noise, so need to set it up further away from my house.
Ian Carpenter (verified owner) –
It certainly draws in the insects but it is a very loud fan so you need it a fair way from windows. I have a smaller unit from another brand which is quieter but the pestrol certainly catches more bugs
Graham Stacey (verified owner) –
I’ve been really impressed with the Dominator. I’ve had this set up in my backyard for about a year now and the number of mosquitoes and moths this catches is phenomenal. I highly recommend.
Andrew Hawkins (verified owner) –
Mosquito population seems to have dropped significantly. Unit is a bit noisy.
Kathleen (verified owner) –
I think the machine is doing it’s job, might take awhile to really notice the mosquito population reducing, one thing that I’m not keen on is that it attracts most insects which I don’t like. A trap that caught only mosquito’s would be ideal.

Appears to be effective but advice needed re positioning in domestic garden to get best result

The Pestrol Dominator does its job well keeping mossies away from me!
After sales service with regard to questions I had was excellent and quick.
Definitely buy this if mossies are a problem for you.
We live in an area surrounded by bush and swampy ground and this product means I can go outside again!
Placement is the most important thing here…it can’t be too close to your deck/living space or it won’t be as effective. Also it must be left on 24/7 for the initial 4 weeks.
I rang them to get advice on the best placement and they were very helpful.
