Mosquito Control Products & Killers | Pestrol NZ Pest Control
At Pestrol NZ, we understand how much of a nuisance mosquitoes can be — from persistent buzzing and itchy bites to the very real threat of disease transmission. That’s why our dedicated Mosquito Control category brings you everything you need to fight back: from automatic insecticide dispensers and mosquito traps, to personal-use repellent, bite relief, and specialist mosquito killers and repellent clothing.
Why Mosquito Control Matters
Mosquitoes are not just irritating — they are highly effective at breeding and spreading pathogens. Even here in New Zealand, common species like Culex pervigilans and Aedes notoscriptus thrive in standing-water habitats and shaded areas around homes. While local disease transmission is rare, the risk — and the discomfort of bites — mean effective mosquito control remains an important part of enjoying outdoor living and protecting your household.
What You’ll Find in Our Mosquito Category
-
Automatic insecticide dispensers & refill cans: Ideal for continuous indoor protection against flying pests.
-
Mosquito traps: Designed to attract and capture mosquitoes before they bite — a key step in reducing numbers.
-
On-person repellents: Sprays, lotions and roll-ons that form a protective barrier where you need it most, when outdoors or travelling.
-
Mosquito killers / bug-zappers: Devices aimed at reducing adult mosquito populations — especially useful around patios, decks and outdoor living zones.
-
Repellent clothing and accessories: Shirts, hats and gear treated or designed to repel mosquito bites — a handy extra layer of defence.
-
Bite relief and after-care: Still get bitten? We carry effective relief sprays, creams and lotions to soothe the itch and help skin recover.
Smart Mosquito Defence: Tips & Best Practice
To get the most from your mosquito-control strategy, pair the right products with smart lifestyle habits:
-
Eliminate standing water around your property — plant pot trays, buckets, gutters and even tree-hollows can become breeding ground.
-
Secure screens on windows & doors; wear longer, lighter-coloured clothing when outside at dawn/dusk.
-
Choose a well-formulated repellent: independent tests in New Zealand show that products with well-studied actives such as DEET or picaridin outperform many natural oils.
-
For outdoor living zones, combine traps or zappers with surface-treatments in shaded areas (under eaves, plant-leaves) where adult mosquitoes rest.

Customer Reviews About Mosquitoes
Great product,hard to find
Thanks for your help.
Great value
Great product
Great unit!
It works very well.
It sorted out mosquito problem quite well.
Only problem is quality.
I got the first one, March 2024, purchased from Mitre 10. After a year, just after expired warranty, it stopped working.
Then I got second one, March this year.
I stopped using it since getting cold.
Then today, when I tried to use it, no UV light.
I checked the bulb, and found the plug for the UV bulb was melted.
Hard to believe. I can not find the invoice for it, so unable to claim the warranty.
Anyway the quality should be improved as I am satisfied with its performance.
