Mosquito Magnet Octenol Biting Insect Attractant - Attract Mosquitoes to Trap and Increase Catch Rates - 3 Lures

This product (Octenol) works with all models of the Mosquito Magnet and with many models of the SkeeterVac. I have found that it does seem to increase the catch rate of the night-biting mosquitoes over just using the CO2/heat/moisture of the MM/SV alone. However you'll need Lurex (Mosquito Magnet LUREX3N - Lurex3 Attractant, 3-Pack) for the daytime-biting Tiger mosquitoes so unless you have multiple traps around your yard (as I do) you'll need to pick & choose which type of mosquito is most prevalent in your area. (I read elsewhere that Tiger mosquitoes are actually repelled by Octenol so sadly you really do have to pick & choose one.)Oddly, on my SkeeterVac's TacTrap (SkeeterVac CPSX000021 TacTrap Replacements) I've discovered that other pests seem to prefer either Lurex or Octenol too. Flying cockroaches, for example, are most commonly trapped in my SkeeterVac TacTrap running Lurex, while horse flies and house flies seem to prefer getting stuck in the SkeeterVac TacTrap running Octenol. Gnats and no-see-ums get stuck both places and/or vacuumed up into the SV (Blue Rhino SV3100 SkeeterVac Mosquito Eliminator, 1-Acre Coverage) or MM (Mosquito Magnet MM4100 Patriot Mosquito Trap) fan/screen trap.

Best thing that works with bug zapper IMO for mosquitoes. Your bug zapper light will be fully covered in one nights. Lasts 1/2 a summer IMO. Only thing I hate is the high price but only product that works.

The media could not be loaded. You're probably tired of your bug zapper only attracting moths and other light attractant bugs, and you've come to this listing because you learned that a big zapper requires octenol cartridges in order to attract mosquitos. I wish bug zappers didn't have to use these cartridges because they are very expensive, but I can tell you that the Mosquito Magnet brand does work. I've tried other brands with little to no luck. I've also tried hanging sugar water near the zapper and it doesn't help either. So, now that you know you need these cartridges, let me tell you the good and the bad.PROS:1. Exact replacement for flowtron BK-80D Electronic Insect Killer (Bug Zapper)2. Packaging will keep cartridges fresh when not in use.3. Octenol smells very strong with just one cartridge.CONS:1. Octenol smell fades after a little over a week and it loses its potency.To sum up this review, the octenol does work for mosquitos and is very strong initially. It becomes very weak after about 7 days even tho it is suppose to last for one month. I will most likely continue to buy more of these because my options for mosquito elimination are limited and I cannot stand to get bit since I end up with bite welps the size of quarters. It's just one of those things that, I'll buy but I'm not necessarily happy about it. It is a 4 star product.I have also included pictures and a video with this review.

I put them in my cleaned out trap 5 days ago. Working nicely!

We use this product in a bug lamp. The brand name octenol packet comes with a small adhesive strip so that it will adhere to the back surface of the poison packet and the compartment it site in on the underside of the lamp. We bought this product because it was a little less expensive.This product doesn't come with an adhesive strip so you're on your own to figure out how to keep it from falling out of the compartment on the bottom on the hanging lamp. To save you some time, two sided tape didn't work.

Durability fit ease of use and great value thank you

I attach one of these every 2/3 months to the upper inner top area of our hanging Dynatrap mosquito/bug zapper that sucks the bugs into its holding bin. This set up continues to work for us year after year in our back yard keeping us mosquito and fly free.

Didn't work
