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 to be found in mosquito traps. A built-in heat plate to simulate human heat, a lure that replicates 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 if for effective use outside and the mosquito killer trap is waterproof. Research has shown that placing the mosquito trap in a shaded area increases 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 a point that your mosquito problem is under control. Your Terminator Mosquito Trap is not designed to compete with humans in close proximity e.g. at a barbecue if you are planning an outdoor event you need to 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 choose to discontinue 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 trap. With 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 completely waterproof and suitable for 24 hours use outside. It is compact and very easy to install.

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.

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.

This is a great product. It was working as soon as I plugged it in. We can now sit outside without being inundated by lots of mosquitoes. It has certainly kept the moth numbers down as well. I highly recommend this product.

The Terminator is FANTASTIC, can’t recommend it enough, mozzies were gone instantly and they have stayed away. We can actually sit outside now during the day and night and no mozzies biting. Worth every dollar and more!!

It was a gift for my son who has a lot of mozzies at his place and he was thrilled with it 100%

Had my doubts this would work as we live close to a festy creek and get between 5 and 20 mozys a night (with fly screens just letting the dogs in and out) we would walk around the the inside of our house with a can of spray and a torch, we put the trap on the verandah between the door and the backyard / creek and after a week or 2 we were getting 1 to 2 a week and now I don’t even think about them, saving a tone in fly spray:) highly recommend this product….

Doesn’t work fullstop. Not one mosquito or bug of any sort they just fly around it. Not attracted to the device at all. Avoid wasting your money. Even within 30days “money back guarantee” had to pay to return the item despite it not doing as promised. Item arrived in a flimsy cardboard box which didnt cover the top of the pestrol box was held together by a few bits of tape across the top.

Arrived in good time. Catches huge amounts of moths and little flying bugs. Can’t see any mosquitos in it, however also haven’t seen any mozzies since it’s been on 24/7. Absolutely love it.

Seems to be effective, enjoying our evenings mozzie free. Haven’t even used the attractant yet.
Samara C. (verified owner) –
Very happy with the outdoor trap. We have a lot of mozzies around due to grey water holes around the house and this is definitely helping reduce the amount of mozzies getting inside!!

This is an amazing product, it catches so many mosquitoes. The downside is it catches moths and bees. The moths I am OK with as they are impacting on my garden. The bees were concerning, so I turn it off during the day to avoid this. I would highly recommend this to others.
