We were sick of temporary fixes.
Like you, we were frustrated with chemical sprays that only lasted for hours and sticky, toxic repellents we hated using on our kids. We tried dozens of "solutions"—zappers, coils, and other traps... but nothing gave us our yard back.
We became obsessed. We researched, tested, and finally imported a trap technology from overseas that was different. Most importantly: it worked.
The results were staggering.
The proof was undeniable. In the first 5 nights, we caught enough mosquitoes to fill a 2-litre ice cream container.
We realised we weren't just zapping a few random pests; we were capturing thousands of breeding females. We were finally doing what the sprays and coils could never do: we were breaking the local breeding cycle.
A Safer, Smarter Solution.
We also discovered why it was so effective. The technology was scientifically designed to mimic a human host. The lure (which is now APVMA-Approved) was proven to attract the very species that carry dangerous viruses like Ross River Virus and Murray River Encephalitis.
It wasn't just a trap; it was peace of mind for our family.
We started with word-of-mouth.
Our neighbours saw the results and wanted one. Then their friends did. We've sold them at local fairs, and in the last three weeks of that first mozzie season, we sold over 150 traps in a town of just 2,100 people—purely by word of mouth.
Ambush was born from a real Australian problem, and we're proud to help thousands of other families take back their backyards.
