The company
A factory that started with a question about mosquitoes.
Dongguan Pittar Houseware Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing in Guangdong since 2003. The insect-control line grew out of a simpler business — houseware — and one stubborn problem: the traps our customers were buying did not match the mosquitoes they actually had.
We began by making houseware for export: moulded parts, metal frames, simple electrical goods. In the 2000s customers started asking for mosquito lamps, then for CO₂ traps, then for units that would survive a monsoon season on a hotel terrace. Each request pushed the same workshop into a new discipline — airflow, high voltage, solar charging, lamp ballast design.
Today the company runs moulding, metal work, electronics assembly and packing on one site in Dongguan, and sells three product families to importers, distributors and pest-control operators. Six patents came out of that work, mostly about how air moves through a housing and how an insect is held at the mouth of a trap.
What has not changed is the working method: build the tooling, test the prototype in the yard, and only then print a catalogue. It is slower than buying a design from a trading company. It is also the reason a customer can ask us why a model should work on their species and get a real answer.

Why it matters
Owning the tooling changes the conversation
When the mould belongs to the factory, a buyer can change a tray, deepen a housing or move a bracket without waiting for a third party to agree. When the electronics bench is in the same building, a ballast problem is a morning, not a shipment.
That is the practical difference between a manufacturer and a trading company — and the reason our quotations tend to arrive with a drawing attached.
