Have you misplaced this small cap when you changed the attractant?
Our Mosquito Magnet® Attractant Carrier Cap goes on the bottom of the Mosquito Magnet® Attractant Carrier’s holder (where your attractant is placed.)
Protect your family from mosquitoes and biting insects that may carry serious diseases - keep your Mosquito Magnet® running at peak performance with regular replacement of attractants and nets. Replacement of lost or misplaced accessories and parts is very important for your trap to provide lasting mosquito protection all season long.
Note: All Mosquito Magnet® traps come with the Attractant Carrier Cap. This is a replacement part.
This cap fits great and replaces the original. Agree with other reviewers - this should be the original cap. And it would be nice if it was cheaper, or perhaps include an extra cap with the original purchase?
Does the job, better design than the original as others have said. But... why does a little piece of plastic have to cost $10? Plus: non-green alert: Our little cap came in a small plastic bag, which was in a small cardboard box, which was in a nearly shoebox-sized cardboard shipping box filled with plastic film cushioning. A 6x9 bubble wrap mailing envelope would have been enough!
Replaces the poorly designed original attractant carrier cap. This one is much easier to get on and off. 4 star instead of 5 because they should have designed them like this from the start.
This new cap is the bomb. The old cap you needed a coin or a screwdriver to remove and even then it was difficult to remove. This new cap unscrews with the twist of your fingers. I have the defender and the cap was always a problem and finally it broke. And my defender still after all these years, defends us from mosquitos. Thanks for a great product.
This product comes in two different styles. However, both styles are universal and both will fit all versions of the Mosquito Magnet®.

Just the thing I needed

Even if your cap isn't lost or broken, this is a nice upgrade for older units (like my Defender). You needed to use a tool to rotate and remove the old cap design (a screwdriver or pliers, or maybe a coin), whereas this newer design has large finger-friendly grip surfaces (no tools required).
I purchased a mosquito magnet defender and I think it’s missing the part where the attractant goes in. I don’t know if it’s just a cap or a cylinder that screws in or out do I just buy the cap or the attractant fits in it and push it in there?

Thank you for your question. The part you're referring to is a cap that covers the attractant compartment on the mosquito trap.
If your Mosquito Magnet Defender appears to be missing this piece, we recommend contacting our Customer Service team by phone. They can help confirm exactly which part is needed for your model and assist you with obtaining a replacement cap if necessary.
