Customer Reviews

This product (Octenol) works with all models of the Mosquito Magnet and with many models of the SkeeterVac. I have found that it does seem to increase the catch rate of the night-biting mosquitoes over just using the CO2/heat/moisture of the MM/SV alone. However you'll need Lurex (Mosquito Magnet LUREX3N - Lurex3 Attractant, 3-Pack) for the daytime-biting Tiger mosquitoes so unless you have multiple traps around your yard (as I do) you'll need to pick ; choose which type of mosquito is most prevalent in your area. (I read elsewhere that Tiger mosquitoes are actually repelled by Octenol so sadly you really do have to pick ; choose one.)
Oddly, on my SkeeterVac's TacTrap (SkeeterVac CPSX000021 TacTrap Replacements) I've discovered that other pests seem to prefer either Lurex or Octenol too. Flying cockroaches, for example, are most commonly trapped in my SkeeterVac TacTrap running Lurex, while horse flies and house flies seem to prefer getting stuck in the SkeeterVac TacTrap running Octenol. Gnats and no-see-ums get stuck both places and/or vacuumed up into the SV (Blue Rhino SV3100 SkeeterVac Mosquito Eliminator, 1-Acre Coverage) or MM (Mosquito Magnet MM4100 Patriot Mosquito Trap) fan/screen trap.

Mosquito Magnet OCTENOL3 Octenol Biting Insect Attractant, 3-Pack
This is great. I must disassemble and clean my Magnet every year, but I never get bit by those nasty bugs again, the 3 pack is all I need for that year. Without the Attractant I only get about ¼ of those bugs.
One Octennol cartridge last about 50 days (or every other propane tank) here in Upstate NY, a lot longer than the package says.
