Outdoor Exterminator Mosquito Trap
Use our Exterminator Mosquito Trap and enjoy backyard picnics, barbecues and warm-weather activities without having to shoo away the buzzing, flying insects that haunt your yard.
Unlike insect systems that require propane and expensive allure refills, the Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator operates economically and is easy to install.
This mosquito control system eliminates West Nile-carrying insects as well as biting flies, Asian beetles, and other flying pests from your outdoor as well as indoor living spaces.
This mosquito trap is safe for indoor use, and it eliminates insects without adding chemicals to the environment or the surrounding areas of usage.
The Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator Mosquito Trap uses a UV fluorescent bulb, which produces warm light to attract insects. The titanium dioxide-coated funnel produces carbon dioxide, which is irresistible to mosquitoes, luring the insects to the powerful yet whisper-quiet vacuum fan. Insects are collected and trapped in the retaining cage away from the area of usage, providing the user safe pest protection and comfortable living quarters.
The Pestrol Exterminator protects up to 120m²

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The principle of Capturing Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes, even in the dark, can easily access where a person is by sensing carbon dioxide and temperature that he/she sheds. Also, they react extremely sensitively to near-ultraviolet rays. Using these properties of mosquitoes, Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator can decoy and capture mosquitoes both in bright indoors and in dark outdoors by a tripartite system: HEAT and A CERTAIN WAVELENGTH RAY produced from the mosquito bulbs installed inside, and CARBON DIOXIDE produced when mosquito bulbs are radiated onto TiO2 coat.
Decoyed mosquitoes enter the exterminator through the capture windows on the upperparts, and they are strongly drawn into the capture net, on the lower part. Once they are drawn into the capture net, they cannot fly away upwards due to the strong current of the ventilator. Mosquitoes quickly dehydrate and die. No messy & costly spray.Purifies air through photocatalysis & Sterilises sundry bacteria
Using TiO2, ATTENTION-GETTER of ENVIRONMENT PURIFICATION FIELD. A smoke/insecticide-free mosquito trap that simultaneously purifies the air and exterminates mosquitoes has been specially devised.
It is absolutely harmless on the environment, livestock and pets, for it is insecticide-free.
TiO2 Photocatalyst Explained:
The effect of photocatalysis used in TiO2 pays attention to the field of pro-environment.
Titanium dioxide, also known as titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium. TiO2 was approved as a food additive in 1968 by the USA. At present, TiO2 is used in making chocolates and is a totally harmless material to the human body.
Photocatalysis is a disintegration that uses light-energy with TiO2 as a catalyst. TiO2 is not changed so can be used permanently. In case there is a little ultraviolet ray from the sun or lamp, TiO2 purifies the air and sterilize ill-smelling molecule by the response to organic matter on the surface of TiO2.
Using energy from light, TiO2 creates two oxidation reactants: hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion which decomposes toxic organic substance by oxidation.
Nanotechnology
It uses mosquito bulbs and funnels. It can generate carbon dioxide and moisture and heat in the device when it runs. Emulates human breath and decoyed mosquitoes enter inside.
Titanium Dioxide’s photo-catalytic characteristic is greatly enhanced due to the advent of nanotechnology. At nano-scale, not only the surface area of titanium dioxide particle increases dramatically but also it exhibits other effects on optical properties and size quantization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator the best choice for controlling mosquito?
The Pestrol Outdoor Exterminator is the leading long-term solution scientifically proven to safely and effectively reduce mosquitoes and other insects. Photocatalyst technology and a special light will help you drastically reduce the mosquito population in your yard.
How soon should my Exterminator Mosquito Trap begin to control mosquitoes?
The trap will begin to catch immediately there is mosquito activity in the area. Female mosquitoes looking for blood will be drawn to the trap and destroyed. The trap will gradually reduce your mosquito population as it attracts and destroys them. It may take 6-8 weeks of use to reduce the mosquito population to the point that you have successfully interrupted the breeding cycle.
Will it harm humans or pets?
No. It is completely safe for humans, animals and the environment. The Pestrol Exterminator mosquito trap does not involve fogging, pesticides, bug zappers, repellents, citronella. Fogging, repellents, and coils, often involve the use of chemicals that have the potential to be dangerous for both humans and the environment. The Pestrol Exterminator mosquito trap uses none of these chemicals methods in the control of mosquito populations. It is 100% environmentally friendly.
How high off the ground do we install it?
The mosquito trap can be placed, fixed, or hung, on any external object, wall, veranda post, tree or ceiling in the area to be protected. It’s most efficient when greater than 1M of the ground. You can hang it by the power cords or the other line. Many people have small children and pets and need to hang the unit head high.
Is the device unit noisy?
The unit only sound is the in-built fan, which is equivalent to a computer fan.
Does it attract other insects?
It has been specifically designed to attract and control mosquitoes and sandflies (midges), although it may attract other insects not beneficial to your garden.
It has recently rained will the mosquitoes return?
This is possible if you are contributing to their breeding environment.
The perfect breeding grounds around your home for mosquitoes are any areas where there is stagnant water laying, e.g. Pot plant dishes, fish ponds, old tires etc.
Plants like Bromeliads are another perfect environment for breeding mosquitoes.
How long do I operate the trap for each day?
For best results run the unit continues to break the breeding cycle. However, using it solely for entertainment purposes is fine. The unit will attract all surround flying insects immediately.
The difference between ZAPPING and TRAPPING?
ZAPPING | TRAPPING |
Noisy zap Complicated to clean Outdoor use only Unpleasant burning smell |
Whisper quiet Twist open and clean with the brush Effective indoors and outdoor environmentally safe Odourless |
The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about 2,800 different species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour (1,6-2,4 km/hour).
The mosquito females drink blood and the nectar of plants; the males only sip plant nectar. When a female bites, she also injects an anticoagulant (anti-clotting chemical) into the prey to keep the victim’s blood flowing. She finds her victims by sight and smell, and also by detecting their warmth. Not all mosquito species bite humans.
The mosquito is often a carrier of diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, encephalitis, yellow fever, West Nile virus, dog heartworm, and many others. The females, who drink blood, can carry a disease from one animal or human to another as they feed.

Unit does pull in mosquitos but will know how well during summer on our back deck.
I have been impressed enough with the design to buy a 2nd unit!
I am waiting to give it as a birthday gift……wretched Covid – I know it is holding up 2nd unit despatch otherwise all good thankyou

I am impressed with this product, very effective.
Josephine Armstrong (verified owner) –
Base of unit keeps dropping out
Gerard R. (verified owner) –
Excellent product. I’ve used this model for years now and this latest version is even better – uses a brighter led lamp and a fan that is easily found at any electronics store. This is important as the can burn out if a large bug gets caught and jams it up. The old fans were not a common style and were virtually impossible to source even online. Well done Pestrol.
Eugenia (verified owner) –
So satisfying watching them pile up in the chamber!
Bill S. (verified owner) –
Hard to rate at this time as it’s not really mozzie weather. All I can say is that we haven’t been bitten by a mozzie since turning it on. Set it up under our back veranda which is usually a real mozzie haven. It runs 24/7. We got the extra attractants with the unit and we run it for a week without them just to see if there was a difference in performance. Can’t say that they made any difference, again because it’s coming on winter. Will have to wait until the weather starts to warm up to be able to make an informed opinion. It sure gets the moths and other small flying insects. Have to empty and clean it once a week.
John Stewart (verified owner) –
It allows large moths to enter chamber and foul fans operation, needs a screen to allow correct size insects
Arnie (verified owner) –
Finally a product that actually works. It has been at least 90% effective in getting rid of mosquitoes and I can enjoy my backyard again
Colin (verified owner) –
Turn the unit on just before dusk and have not had any issues with Mosquitos since we bought it 2 months ago.
Leigh S. (verified owner) –
Definitely catches a lot when I remember to switch on. Also not for leaving outdoors ended up buying the one with the stand which is outdoors and automatically turns on which is better for me.
