Have all the accessories you need to keep your Mosquito Magnet® Defender trap performing at its peak with this 2-month accessory bundle! Buy Defender trap refills to save a bundle on your outdoor mosquito control. This 2-month Defender trap refills bundle is for northern & coastal regions and includes 3 Defender nets and 3 R-Octenol cartridges.
Nets that are clogged with dead mosquitoes, spiders, pollen and dust will have an adverse effect on the vacuum’s ability (airflow) of your Mosquito Magnet® Defender/Patriot trap and prevent it from working at its best. Start each season with a new Mosquito Magnet® Defender/Patriot Net and replace every 21 days or sooner if necessary. The rigid bag is self-contained, allowing for easy disposal and replacement. Whether constructed with rigid nets or nets with drawstrings, our self-contained nets eliminate any direct contact with the dead insects.
The EPA registered Mosquito Magnet® R-Octenol is a secondary attractant the mimics human breath, drawing mosquitoes and biting insects to the trap. R-Octenol works the same as regular Octenol, but lasts 40% longer - up to 30 days! Mosquito Magnet® R-Octenol attracts most mosquito species, including salt marsh mosquitoes, as well as no-see-ums and black flies. It will lure biting insects to the Mosquito Magnet® trap where they are captured, then dehydrate and die. People who live in northern & coastal regions should use R-Octenol to attract mosquitoes, no-see-ums and black flies. The Mosquito Magnet® R-Octenol cartridge should be replaced every 30 days. After 30 days of use, the cartridge appears the same; however, it will no longer be effective as the R-Octenol will have been released. The catch rate will be reduced if the attractant is not changed.

After years of continuous use, season after season, I needed a new net for our old Defender. While I got a fairly good deal on this bundle, and all came as expected and in a timely fashion, I was disappointed to have to spend that much money just to avoid the almost $20 in shipping for the nets alone. That said, until I find a better option to vanquish the unbearable mosquito population, I will spend it! Our Defender has served us well.
The Magnet makes a big difference, it always takes at least one cycle each year to start seeing a difference and living by the lake it is never perfect but what is!

This product uses one tank of propane a month and I still get bitten by mosquitoes. I really can't tell if it has made an impact on the mosquito population.
When placing the trap, it is very important that it is located 30-40 feet away from areas where people are gathering. The trap should also be upwind of the mosquito breeding areas. We would like to learn more about this experience in order to offer additional assistance.

I bought the patriot for my back yard and my family and I enjoy the back yard without the mosquitos. We love it!!!!!
I bought one Magnet a few years ago and added a second. They work very, very well and I have cups and cups full of mosquitos to prove it. The only problem is that every single year one or the other machine needs repair and the repair center is over an hour away from me. The reviews years ago before I purchased my first one had the same complaint. You will often not be able to start them up at the beginning of a new season.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. When using the Mosquito Magnet® traps, you should begin to notice catches within 7-10 days. It is important to keep in mind that it may take 4-6 weeks of continuous use to affect the breeding cycle and being to reduce the population. The use of an attractant with the trap can help to increase the catch rate by 10 times.
We hope that you start to see catches soon. Please feel free to contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-800-953-5737 with any questions or for additional troubleshooting.
