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 is an effective mosquito trapping system that 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 1000m² or 1/4 of an acre.

Decoy and capture mosquitoes by a tripartite system:
CARBON DIOXIDE produced during the TiO2 process. HEAT and A CERTAIN WAVELENGTH RAY (mosquitoes like these) produced from the photocatalyst lamp installed inside.
Captured mosquitoes can’t escape from the net, where they dehydrate and die.
Purifies and sterilises air through the TiO2 effect.
Environmentally friendly, Insecticide-free and Harmless to humans, odourless, no pollutants.
No expensive attractant refill or propane is necessary.
Easy operation and installation, low maintenance. Quiet, no irritating zapping noises.
It is most effective when used outdoors, however, the unit is also suitable for use inside.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The principle of Trapping 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 to 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.

Very effective
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Appears to have done the job as I haven’t had any mosquito bites recently (although this could be on account of the hot weather). The trap doesn’t discriminate so lots of moths have been caught in the process. I would like to be able to ”humanely” exterminate the bugs that are trapped on entrapment, rather than have them alive in the compartment at the bottom. It would also be good if the trap worked on blowflies as we have an issue with them but they don’t seem to be attracted to the trap. Perhaps there is an alternative for this issue. Overall we are quite happy with the unit.

I resisted the urge to buy one of these for a while, thinking it would be a bit of a disappointment. I was very wrong!
I attract Mossies, so bit the bullet and have been extremely happy with the results. I don’t think I’ve been bitten at home ever since (several months now), so suffice to say it’s far exceeded expectations.
It’s quiet, very light, and looks nice.
Strongly recommend.

Diana Knock (verified owner) –
Ended up great but started badly due to faulty unit
Jo N. (verified owner) –
We live on average and have a large entertaining area. We previously were being ‘eaten alive’ by mosquitos, but after just 2-3 weeks, we can now sit outside and see only one or two mosquitos. Great product. My chooks love it when I empty the dead mozzie’s into their run.
Kelly K. (verified owner) –
The unit itself etc is great and has certainly reduced the mosquito population, however I am glad I purchased a replacement bulb as the bulb that came installed in the unit only lasted 4 weeks!!
Nicole (verified owner) –
Great to keep mozzies at bay. They have thought of everything- from easy to hang, easy to put together and easy to empty. Highly recommended.
