Terminator Mosquito Killer and Trap
The Terminator Mosquito Killer Trap is one of the original tried and tested mosquito control products in the range.
Very effective in catching mosquitoes and other small flying insects including:
- moths
- guava moth
- codling moth
- aphids
- sand flies
- midges
- and more
The Mosquito Killer is cleverly designed to simulate human prey through some of the latest features found in mosquito traps. A built-in heat plate to simulate human heat, a lure replicating human breath and sweat, a photocatalyst process that emits minute quantities of CO² and a UV light. All of the above are proven for increased performance in attracting pesky mosquitoes.
A powerful fan then creates a vacuum to suck the creatures into the extra-large catchment area, where they dehydrate and die. The design is for effective use outside and the mosquito killer trap is waterproof. Research has shown that placing the mosquito trap in a shaded area increases the mosquito capture rate and the unit will cover up to 1500m² area.
The optional Cigarette lighter adaptor (12 vaults) – makes the Terminator Mosquito Trap the ideal companion for all outdoor activities, even away from home. Camping / Boating and mosquitoes don’t have to be a problem anymore.
The Terminator Mosquito Trap works independently with these methods:
- Carbon Dioxide—is the primary lure used and is produced by the Photocatalyst reaction of UV rays from the light source radiating onto a panel coated with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2).
- CO² Photocatalyst—The Terminator Mosquito Trap can produce small amounts of Co2, which simulates what humans exhale.
- Attractant—is a chemical produced by the human body and is sometimes referred to as “cow’s breath in a can” due to its smell. Mosquitoes seek this scent to find prey. The attractant emulates the human body odours and increases the catch rate up to 4 times. The attractant will last about 3-4 weeks.
- Heat—the human body gives off heat, so too does this Terminator Mosquito Trap mimicking human prey.
- Ultraviolet Light—mosquitoes are drawn towards ultraviolet light. The Terminator Mosquito Trap has an oscillating light to lure mosquitoes.
- Dark Colour—mosquitoes are lured towards dark colours. This Terminator Mosquito Trap has been designed to take advantage of this.
- Fan—when mosquitoes are lured and getting closer to the Terminator Mosquito Trap, they will be sucked into the catch container by a strong vacuum.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Your Terminator Mosquito Control Trap is designed to reduce the mosquito population. It may take several weeks of use to reduce the population to the point that your mosquito problem is under control. Your Terminator Mosquito Trap is not designed to compete with humans nearby, e.g. at a barbecue. When planning an outdoor event, you must operate the Terminator for an extended time before the event. It is advised that you run the Terminator 24/7 during the height of your mosquito season to ensure you can enjoy your outdoor activities.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
While the Mozzie Trap will begin to catch immediately if there is any mosquito activity in the vicinity, it may take 6-8 weeks of use to reduce local populations to the point that breeding cycles are interrupted. You may discontinue the use of The Terminator at this point but subsequent re-infestation will occur after rain.
Pestrol Terminator Mosquito Trap is possibly the best way to trap mosquitos outdoors and it is one of the top-rated mosquito traps. With the CO2 photocatalyst process, 360 degrees UV light to attract mosquitoes, moths, midges and many other insects and coverage of 1500m² makes this trap the most effective. It is waterproof and suitable for 24 hours use outside. It is compact and very easy to install.

I bought this for outside. Seem to be catching a lot of small moths, I can’t see the mosquitoes in the collection tray. However I have noticed a reduction in the mosquitoes on the verandah that hide behind the chairs and in the plants. I put it behind the chairs which isn’t quite what the instructions say. I leave it on 24/7. If it lasts a couple of years I would say it is worth the money compared to a normal bug zapper.
This mozzie catcher is fantastic, it has caught so many mozzie and other bugs in a short period of time, very happy with the purchase, not so happy that this is our second trap, first one lasted just over a year, just out of the warranty period and because we had so many baits left from the first one we decided to get another. Hopefully this one will last bit longer….in saying that we have had it on 24/7, undercover at the recommended height….still we thought it should last longer than that.
Was given as a gift – not sure yet if it has worked
10 star service allround..globe did stop working after 3 weeks but prompt replacement was sent without hesitation so very happy..catching insects very well…thankyou
My second Pestrol purchase from Pestrol. I have one inside style and now the terminator for outside and excited to say yes they work!!! Highly recommend!
Simple to set up, easy to empty, mosquito free on our deck now. Had it for a month and it is awesome.
I love the terminator.
I also bought a $15 24 Hour Timer 1 Socket for the terminator to turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn to ensure it is on every night during summer.
It does the job and if I have a plague of mosiqotoes I do also spray the house/garden as no product can be 100%. I try to avoid using chemicals and why I bought the terminator.
All I need now is all my neighbours to buy one.
early days but does seem to be reducing the number of mosquitoes in the area, looks good and very quiet
i all resdy have 2
These traps are magnificent. On the first night the catcher was about half full of mosquitoes. I empty it about every 2nd day, and it always has mossies in there. I purchased 3 of these, to give to my adult children. They do everything they say they do. Very prompt arrival as well.
It’s done a top job reducing the mozzie plague, had literally hundreds on back screens every morning, after. 2 weeks now only a few mozzies around the windows
So far so good, noticed not many mozzies are around after we started it up, and a lot of bugs in the container….not as easy as it seems to find a place…away from the house, under cover but with electricity.
Seems to kill a lot of moths. Not so many mosquitoes!
I calculate that it caught around 500 mosquitos in the first week of operation (Sydney, February). (Plus lots of small moths). Pretty good – though this hasn’t made much of a dent in the huge number of mosquitos still in my back yard!
Have been using this product for a few months now and it has felt like it’s made 0% difference. I’ve changed locations 3 times as per the instructions, but mosquitoes still around everywhere. Feels like the only thing it catches is moths. What a waste of electricity and money. $15 Bunnings bug spray had made more of a difference.
So far so good trap is nearly full so it’s definitely doing it’s job
A seriously great product . I have a rainforest area on my property with a small pond, and in less than a month the mosquito problem has been reduced to almost nothing during the night and no mosquitoes at all during the day
Even though there still seem to be some mozzies around outside, I am no longer being bothered by them and waking with itchy lumps.
We had major mosquito problems & after a few days it was better & after a few weeks only the odd mosquito- very happy & relieved we can be outdoors for long times & not worry about getting sick from mosquitoes
It’s FULL of mosquito’s every week when we empty it, and the mosquitos on my property are almost gone in 3 weeks. I have a dam and creek, and livestock water troughs, so mosquitos were terrible before.
