How the Mosquito Slayer works

The Mosquito Slayer is the first mosquito trap to use a suite of scientifically proven lures to attract and kill mosquitoes. A range of proven attractants in special combination incorporated into a single compact unit mimic signals given off by humans, animals and birds to attract female mosquitoes.

When the mosquitoes draw close to the trap, circulating air forces them into a collection tray of solution where they drown.

A number of factors will influence trap catches such as placement of the trap, operation times and seasonal and environmental conditions. No trap will totally clear a neighbourhood of mosquitoes. However, our Mosquito Slayers are tailored to specific requirements and they will, when used according to best practice, significantly reduce mosquito populations in defined areas and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne disease. For every female mosquito caught, 300 potential offspring will be eliminated.

Mosquito Slayer presents two models for use in commercial and domestic situations.

Mosquito SlayerPRO

Product Code: MSP1-SI

Mosquito Slayer Pro

The Mosquito SlayerPRO is a large capacity commercial mosquito and biting midge trap. It is ideal for large areas and is well suited to service companies who provide customers with monthly to quarterly servicing.

The Mosquito SlayerPRO uses a suite of scientifically proven attractants to trap the female mosquitoes and midges - the ones that bite.

The trap comes with a revolutionary gas regulator hose that connects directly to a cylinder of carbon dioxide (CO2) without the need for a regulator.

Gas cylinder is not provided.

Outdoor use only.

1 year warranty.

Mosquito Slayer Series 4

Product Code: MTS4

Mosquito Slayer

The Mosquito Slayer Series 4 is designed for use in homes, courtyards and small commercial situations. It uses a suite of scientifically proven attractants to trap the female mosquitoes and midges - the ones that bite.

The Mosquito Slayer Standard Unit is a non-gas trap. It can be easily upgraded to dispense a controlled flow of carbon dioxide with the addition of our revolutionary gas regulator hose that connects to a bottle of carbon dioxide. A regulator is not required. See Gas Regulator Hose Model A-S MSA-GH1.

For outdoor use only.

Gas cylinder is not provided.

1 year warranty.

The system connects to normal mains (240v 50Hz) power through a 12-volt transformer (included free). A CO2 cylinder (supplied separately) links to the trap via a 1.5-metre long, industrial-strength, low-pressure gas line. The Australian designed trap reduces mosquitoes and midges/sand flies breeding around your home, workplace or where animals are kept, by breaking the breeding cycle before the adult females lay their eggs.

While some other insect trapping devices have only one or two methods of attracting insects, the Mosquito Slayer Trap uses more than ten scientifically proven attractants for mosquitoes and midges/sand flies.

Mosquitoes and their effect on the Australian lifestyle

The mosquito menace

Mosquitoes can spoil outdoor activities and pose serious health threats to homeowners and their family. Mosquitoes are responsible for the spread of a number of diseases including Dengue Fever, Ross River Fever, Encephalitis, Yellow Fever, Malaria and West Nile Virus. The spread of many of these diseases is on the increase in Australia and world wide.

Mosquitoes are becoming more tolerant of current chemical control methods and there is also growing health and environmental concern about the use of certain chemicals. Additionally, the cost for local government authorities to conduct neighbourhood control programs is increasing and becoming more difficult to maintain.

Residential mosquito control is gaining attention as people take responsibility to protect themselves from the mosquito threat. The use of effective traps is an integral part of residential mosquito management.

Businesses, developers and other commercial organisations are becoming aware of their “duty of care” to provide safer environments for their staff, clients and the community – limiting the potential threat of this disease carrying vector.

both night and day

Are Mosquitoes life threatening?

We now know that the spread of mosquito borne diseases, such as Malaria, Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus, Rift Valley Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Ross River Virus (particularly prevalent in Australia), Murray Valley Encephalitis, Barmah Forest Virus, Yellow Fever and many other forms of fever, are on the increase the world over. In fact, worldwide, mosquitoes transmit disease to more than 700,000,000 people annually, and will be responsible for the deaths of 1 out of every 17 people currently alive. Mosquitoes have an infamous place in history too; one well known example is where they all but stopped the construction of the Panama Canal by transmitting Yellow Fever and causing the deaths of thousands of workers involved with the construction.

According to reports from the World Health Organization, Malaria causes as many as 3,000,000 deaths annually, and 2.5 billion people around the world are at risk from Dengue fever. Each year, there are tens of millions of cases, and up to 95% are children.

Many of these same diseases are on the increase world wide, as mosquitoes become increasingly tolerant of current methods of insect control.

The threat in Australia of vector-borne diseases is growing at an alarming rate.

Only female mosquitoes bite humans and transmit diseases!

To protect your business, family and yourself from nuisance bites as well as from dangerous disease such as Dengue Fever, Ross River Fever and Murray Valley Encephalitis, female mosquito control is essential. Our Mosquito Slayer Traps are specially designed to attract the female mosquito. A field test showed 99% of the mosquitoes caught by the Mosquito Slayer trap were female, while only 1% was male.

Scientifically proven attractants

The Mosquito Slayer Trap use the very same elements that attract mosquitoes and midges/sand flies to humans by luring them into its trap. Carbon dioxide gas is released over a special formulation of attractant solution. A small electric fan sends the aroma wafting through the air. The scent draws the insects towards the trap. As the insects get closer, they are then further attracted by spectrum and ultraviolet lights that draw them in toward the opening. When they enter, the fan blows them down into the tray of attractant solution where they drown. It's the combination and quantity of each of the attractants that make the Mosquito Slayer Trap an effective device in the control of adult female mosquitoes, midges and sand flies.

 

Mosquito Slayer Placement:

Both Mosquito Slayer models cover a substantial area and generally one unit will provide sufficient attraction for an average back yard. All Mosquito Slayer units have a 12 volt outlet where additional units can be attached for attracting mosquitoes over a larger area. As seen in the above image, this feature can be ideal for protecting areas including the front yard or court yard, the waters edge on waterfront homes and additional entertaining areas.
