Lasted about 5 weeks before shorting out

Haven’t had a mosquito bite since we got it

We purchased this trap with some skepticism but true to its claims and the reviews of others, the Ambush Trap works. We back onto a conservation park and have struggled with mozzies and midges for years. Not any longer. Works like a charm. Finally we can sit outside and enjoy our beautiful outlook without being attacked by mozzies and midges. Happy days 🫶

The trap is not really effective in dealing with the many mosquitoes coming from their bush hides in our back yard. Indeed many other insects caught but not much in the way of mosquitoes

My mosquito trap worked great for 6 months and then something in it must have shorted. A lot of small moths were regularly being trapped. For the money, I expected it to work for longer. It was placed outdoors under shelter.

Love it

very quick order delivery

Unfortunately it caught way more beneficial insects than mozzies so it’s a no from me. Service was fine.

Bought their mosquito trap a couple of years ago thought the catch container was an upgrade as the soft material one is hard to get on and falls off very easily. Unfortunately they have changed sizes and this doesn't fit. Tried emailing to ask for a refund or to buy an adapter but no responses.

So far so good! We have seen a marked reduction in mosquitoes since setting up the trap a couple of weeks ago.

With all the flooding/ stagnant water in the area we were inundated with mozzies.
Just wow ... can't believe how many mozzie we caught in just the first week.

Just 2 weeks in and we can finally go back outside again. More than impressed. Ordered a second one for my parents house .
Thanks team. Great product easy to use/ set up.

Box arrived leaking white granular powder - turns out it shipped with one of the packets open and it went everywhere. Looks like I've lost $20 before I've even started - not happy

Not one mozzie so far this season. Unbelievably good product!
We have ‘reclaimed our Summer’.
One slight issue- a lot of moths get caught in the trap. Would some sort of filter prevent this?

i have mozzie ambush for some years always have trouble getting bait which i now need plus new blue light .could you advise me how to obtain these items .

Nice little unit and not too noisy, very effective in trapping mosquitoes and all sorts of insects including moths (less food for my frog), sticky paper worked well and was full of insects after about 10 days and needed replacing

Our mosquito problem has not been resolved by either the outdoor or indoor devices. It has not even been minimised.

Very difficult to put together
Should tell busy workers that it takes some time to put together.
We’ve had ours for two months and it’s still in pieces, and we weren’t informed that you need a power point in the garden to operate this very complicated piece of equipment.
Can’t review because it’s all n pieces so definitely cannot recommend

Ran the ambush continuously for 12 weeks. Followed all instructions.
Mosquitos still active but many moths captured.
Not what was advertised.
Very disappointing

Found it excellent
Works really great

Our device doesn’t seem effective and the attractant only lasted 3 weeks instead of 3 months. I have tried to communicate with the sellers but advice has not been forthcoming.

The Ambush Mosquito Traps took so long to arrive that the mosquito season was long over, and I didn't actually get to use the outdoor trap. I did use the indoor trap, it worked OK, its a bit noisy. Didn't catch too many mozzies as its now no longer the season. Ah well, next year !

Have been using Ambush now since early December and have seen very few mossies since, so it's doing what it is advertised to do. Only negatives are to do with the insect catching 'net' and sticky pads. Website images show a solid canister to catch the insects, but my model has a very flimsy net that already has holes in it and is difficult to manipulate into place with a sticky pad inside. The sticky pads also completely curl up very quickly offering less surface area to catch bugs. But even given these few issues, still works well.

I have run the trap with CO2 plus extra bait (from Bunnings) non-stop ever since I got it.
(Since Nov - 2nd fill of CO2).
Although I find many trapped mozzies and loads of other insects, our mosquito plage continuous. Even with emptying an entire can of Mortein into surrounding hedges and bushes plus several mozzie coils, dinner guests asked to retreat inside by the time we have dessert because everyone got bitten.
I hoped we would make a serious dent into the mosquito population but this has not happened. Everytime I venture outside (even during the day) I have to cover myself in Deet, just as in the time before your mosquito trap.
I get hit within seconds of being outside.
It gives me the shits so much I am considering selling the house and moving onto a hill somewhere with windy conditions.
(Our summer residence is at Hawks Nest/Port Stephens).
I don‘t have this problem at our house in Belrose/Sydney!
I have left no stone unturned to beat the bastards (spent hundreds and hundreds on all the mozzie fighting gadgets known to man without result.
The only effective way to rid the bloody things is fumigating the pricks with a back-pack professional fumigator like I have seen used in places like Fiji.
Where can I get one of those?
Please let me know if you know where I can get one of those...

Ambush Trap arrived in good packaging and clear instructions on how to set it up.
I have had the Trap running solidly for 8 weeks now and frankly i am quite disappointed in the results. It is very good at attracting moths, but there were no visible signs of mosquitos in the trap. They are still active when we are sitting 3m away!
I have looked online for guides as to operating once it has been set up, but little available.
What am i doing wrong or does the Trap just not work as advertised?

The Ambush Booster arrived, easily set up as to the detailed instructions, happy with the product and enjoying the backyard.
