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 which 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 for 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.
With the optional Cigarette lighter adaptor (12 vault) – it 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 through by the Photocatalyst reaction of UV ray 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 the 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, the 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, moth, 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.

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.

Fabulous when placed in the right place. I could leave my byfold doors open no worries.

love this amazing product, it has significantly reduced the mozzies in and around the home. Thank you I’m so glad I finally made the purchase.
Sean (verified owner) –
Reduced the number of mosquitos significantly, say 80%, but there are still a few remaining. Also kills many moths. Much better than most other traps we’ve tried,

I have bought three of these units and have also recommended them to three friends who have also bought them. I turn mine on in September and leave them running 24/7 all the way through to April. Unfortunately, the fan has stopped working in the main unit I use in my back yard.

Despite using the attractant the trap doesn’t appear to be catching a massive number of mosquitoes. I get more moths than anything else. But I guess if it’s catching any mosquitoes it’s working.

Mosquito problem in my area is really bad that I would vacuum them off the ceiling, after having this running for a few weeks it has reduced them 10 fold very happy with it so are the neighbours.
Shaun (verified owner) –
The mozzies have dropped drastically but not totally. The only real issue is it works better on moths.
Annalisa (verified owner) –
Very happy thank you still a few around but not as many like there was great for midgies to. Thank you Pestrol.
Cheryl Jones (verified owner) –
Was received on time very pleased with it
David B. (verified owner) –
Seems to work well. The hanging handle supplied was too narrow and inflexible to fit by hand as it came. Had to be widened with tools before is snapped into place. Width between tips should be more carefully set, or the handle made of a more flexible material. ALSO it has proved incredibly difficult to discover its power usage – after several emails and phone calls, I still do not have a precise wattage. Should be in the accompanying brochure.

Seems to have knocked off the mosquito population but NOT the midgies that were my major reason for purchasing. There has been no appreciable reduction in the numbers of midgies.
Rebecca B. (verified owner) –
Whilst we may have moved away from mozzie season, the unit is still catching plenty of them. It works well to catch them – just be prepared for the ones that aren’t dead when you take off th catcher,

We did have a problem with the light in the trap after 2 weeks but it was replaced pronto so we are just waiting to see if there are any more issues.

Happy with product & service.

Still having mosquitos so disappointed

I have noticed an appreciable drop in mosquitoes numbers but it essential to follow the manufacturers instructions to achieve results. We have had our unit on continuously now for two months. The neighours behind us have a massive 42sqm in ground pond that in reality is a mosquito farm. Prior to Terminator I would get bitten relentlessly. Now I will see only one or two mosquitos in the evening or morning. Best results are achieved when pairing Terminator with an automatic insect repellent puffer spray dispenser at the back door.
