Mosquito Magnet Attractants

Attractants 101

Increase your catch rate up to 10 times!!

 

Using an attractant is critical to the performance of your Mosquito Magnet®.  Once mosquitoes sense the carbon dioxide from the Mosquito Magnet®, they need secondary attractants, Octenol or Lurex3™, to hone in on the trap. 

 

The choice of which attractant to use depends upon where you reside in the U.S., since certain mosquito species are found in certain regions of the country. 

 

 

 

 

Lurex3™ Mosquito Attractant

 

What is it?

 

Lurex3™ is a patent-pending mosquito attractant that mimics naturally occurring human skin scents or odors known to attract mosquitoes. 

 

This EPA-registered product is the only attractant developed for the Asian Tiger Mosquito.  It has been designed for use with all Mosquito Magnet® Traps.

 

Made in the U.S.A.

 

 

 

What does it attract?

Our studies have shown that Lurex3™ out catches octenol by 3:1 on the Asian Tiger Mosquito.

 

The insects are attracted by the carbon dioxide and the Lurex3™ 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 in the Southern regions

of the U.S. and in Hawaii, where the main types of biting insect pests include the day-biting Asian Tiger Mosquito and other mosquito species as well as no-see-ums and black flies.

 

Coastal areas in the Southern regions, however, should use the attractant Octenol.

 

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™.

 

 

 


Why should I use it along with the Mosquito Magnet® trap?

 

The addition of Lurex3™ increases your catch rates.  Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance; they may transmit diseases that are a serious health threat to people and pets. 

 

This attractant will lure biting insects to the Mosquito Magnet® trap and away from you and your family.

 

 

 

 

How Often Should The Cartridge Be Replaced?

 

Inserting Mosquito Magnet Lurex3

The Lurex3™ cartridge should be replaced every 21 days. After 21 days of use, the cartridge appears the same; however, it will no longer be effective since the Lurex3™ will have been released.

 

The catch rate will be reduced if the attractant is not changed.
