The Octenol Mosquito Attractant comes in packs of 2 and works with the Guardian Mosquito Trap and the Champion Mosquito trap.
Octenol Mosquito Attractant (1-octen-3-ol)* is a naturally occurring by-product that comes from plants and some animals, such as oxen and cows, that ingest large amounts of vegetable matter. Studies have shown that Octenol Mosquito Attractant, when combined with carbon dioxide, is highly attractive to many species of mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and biting midges. American Biophysics offers Octenol Mosquito Attractant, which when used in conjunction with carbon dioxide, enhances catch rates for the Mosquito Magnet®.
Our research shows that Octenol Mosquito Attractant can increase the catch rates of no-see-ums by 3 to 4 times. The Octenol Mosquito Attractant is in the form of a packet with a peel-off top that is inserted into the Mosquito Magnet.
The Octenol Mosquito Attractant needs to be replaced every 21 days. Please note: The cartridge which contains the Mosquito Attractant will not dissolve, but the Octenol Mosquito Attractant will evaporate and no longer be effective after 21 days. Be sure to replace attractant according to instructions. To be used in place of the attractant but to be hung outside the unit and not put into the attractant cup.
