Octenol - General Facts
What is it? Octenol is an EPA registered secondary attractant that mimics human breath. It is used in Mosquito Magnet® traps to attract biting insects including mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Made in the U.S.A. Why should I use it along with the Mosquito Magnet® trap? 
The attractant Octenol increases your catch rates up to 10 times! Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance; they may transmit diseases that are a serious health threat to people and pets. It will lure biting insects to the Mosquito Magnet® trap and away from you and your family. What Does It Attract? Octenol attracts most mosquito species, including salt marsh mosquitoes, as well as no-see-ums and black flies. The insects are attracted by the Octenol and are drawn to the Mosquito Magnet® trap where they are captured, then dehydrate and die. 
Which attractant is right for you? Those who live on the coast or Northern regions of the U.S. should use Octenol to attract mosquitoes, no-see-ums and black flies. There have been recent spottings of the Asian Tiger mosquito in Northern regions. If you have tried Octenol and are still getting bit, try Lurex3™. Click on image to enlarge
How Often Should The Cartridge Be Replaced? 
The Octenol cartridge should be replaced every 21 days. After 21 days of use, the cartridge appears the same; however, it will no longer be effective as the octenol will have been released. The catch rate will be reduced if the attractant is not changed.
