RESIDENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Because home is where the best evenings happen.
Professional mosquito control for homes, gardens and outdoor living spaces.
Your garden was made for braais, lazy afternoons, family dinners and evenings around the fire.
Halo Terra provides a fully managed mosquito control service for homeowners who want to enjoy those spaces without constantly battling mosquitoes.
Powered by BioGents technology and professionally installed and maintained by Halo Terra.
Your garden shouldn't come with a curfew.
You spend time creating an outdoor space you love.
The garden. The patio. The pool. The braai area. The fire pit.
And then the sun goes down.
The mosquitoes arrive.
Suddenly, everyone is reaching for repellent, moving indoors or calling it a night.
For some families, it's more than an evening inconvenience. Children can be bitten while playing outside, and mosquitoes can continue to be a nuisance around the home after everyone has gone to bed.
Your outdoor space shouldn't be something you can only enjoy for half the day.
A smarter way to enjoy your home outdoors.
Halo Terra takes mosquito management off your to-do list.
We assess your property, determine where mosquito activity is most likely to be concentrated, install the appropriate BioGents mosquito trap system and manage the ongoing servicing for you.
That means you don't have to remember when attractants need replacing, source CO₂, troubleshoot equipment or wonder whether your traps are positioned correctly.
We manage the system. You live outdoors.

More than a mosquito trap.
A mosquito trap is only part of the solution.
Halo Terra provides a fully managed residential mosquito control service, from the initial assessment through to ongoing maintenance.
We combine BioGents technology with professional installation and ongoing servicing, giving homeowners a solution designed around their property.
Environmentally Responsible
Traps operate without insecticide spraying and are designed to attract and capture mosquitoes using specialised attractants and airflow technology.
Fully Managed
We handle installation, servicing, attractant replacement and CO₂ management where applicable.
Designed Around Your Home
Trap placement is influenced by your garden's vegetation, shade, humidity, mosquito activity and outdoor living areas.
Powered by BioGents
BioGents mosquito traps are the result of extensive academic research into mosquito behaviour.
Where you put the trap matters.
A mosquito trap isn't simply placed wherever there's an available plug point.
Mosquitoes use their surroundings to find shelter, breeding sites and their next blood meal. Shaded vegetation, humidity, standing water and other environmental factors can influence where mosquito activity is concentrated.
We recommend placing outdoor traps in suitable resting areas, often in shady, humid and wind-protected locations near vegetation.
That's why Halo Terra assesses your property before installation.
We don't just install a trap. We design a mosquito management system around your home.
You don't need another thing to remember.

Questions homeowners ask.
Everything you need to know about Halo Terra's managed mosquito control service.
Yes. BioGents' outdoor mosquito traps and attractants are insecticide-free and are designed to be used around people and pets. BioGents also states that the traps do not attract beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies. As with any outdoor equipment, traps should be installed and used correctly and children should not play with the equipment.
There isn't a standard number for every property. The ideal number depends on the size and layout of your garden, mosquito pressure, surrounding vegetation and the areas you want to protect.
Halo Terra will assess your property and recommend the appropriate system and positioning for your specific environment.
Yes. Outdoor traps can be used in gardens and outdoor areas around swimming pools. However, the trap shouldn't simply be placed right next to the people you're trying to protect.
We recommend positioning outdoor traps in sheltered, shady and humid areas near vegetation or other places where mosquitoes naturally rest, while keeping the trap at least 5 metres away from the area being protected.
Halo Terra will determine the best position for your trap during your site assessment.
Yes. Where required, Halo Terra can arrange for a qualified electrician to install the necessary electrical point.
The specific electrical requirements depend on the system selected, so we'll assess your property and determine what is needed as part of the installation.
Halo Terra provides scheduled servicing every three months as part of your managed service.
During these visits, we'll check the system, carry out necessary maintenance and replace consumables as required.
You don't need to keep track of any of this. That's our job.
Our team takes care of everything needed to keep your system operating effectively.
Depending on your system, a service visit may include:
- Inspecting the trap and its components
- Checking the airflow and operation
- Replacing mosquito attractants
- Checking and refilling CO₂ where applicable
- Checking the catch bag and other consumables
- Cleaning and maintaining the equipment
- Checking that the trap remains correctly positioned
You don't need to worry about when something needs attention. We manage it for you.
No outdoor mosquito control system can guarantee that every mosquito will be eliminated. New mosquitoes can enter from surrounding areas, and results depend on factors such as mosquito species, local conditions, trap positioning and the level of mosquito activity.
We recommend running outdoor traps continuously because it can take around a week for the trap to show an effect.
The goal is to significantly reduce mosquito activity and biting pressure around your outdoor spaces, rather than promise a completely mosquito-free environment.
Mosquitoes don't recognise property boundaries.
If there are breeding or resting areas nearby, mosquitoes can move into your garden from surrounding properties.
That's why Halo Terra focuses on strategic trap placement rather than simply placing a trap beside your patio. We recommend positioning traps where mosquitoes naturally rest, such as sheltered, shady and humid areas near vegetation and potential water sources
We can also advise homeowners on simple measures to reduce potential breeding sites around their own property, such as removing stagnant water from containers and keeping gutters clear.
Traps operate without insecticides, using mosquito attractants, airflow and other cues to attract and capture mosquitoes.
However, mosquito populations are influenced by surrounding breeding sites and environmental conditions.
Halo Terra's approach is to provide an environmentally responsible mosquito management solution that reduces reliance on routine chemical spraying, while taking a broader view of mosquito control at each property.
Halo Terra is built around a fully managed mosquito control service, rather than simply supplying a trap.
We take care of the site assessment, professional installation, servicing, consumables and ongoing management.
The traps need approximately a week to show an effect, although the exact timeframe will vary depending on the mosquito species, local mosquito population, weather, trap positioning and the surrounding environment.
The traps should operate continuously for maximum effectiveness, allowing them to intercept mosquitoes consistently over time.
Halo Terra will make sure your system is correctly positioned, installed and maintained to give it the best possible chance of performing effectively.
Let them play outside a little longer.
Bare feet on the grass. Games that don't end when the sun goes down. One more story around the fire. Dinner that turns into dessert.
The moments that make a house feel like home don't need to end when the mosquitoes arrive.
Halo Terra helps you create an outdoor environment that's more enjoyable for the people who live, play and gather there.
