Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges (6-Pack), Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800

The Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge works extremely well at my home. I am in the woods of GA with farms around that have horses, cattle, goats, etc. so we have plenty of bugs around. My Flowtron BK-80-D that works up to 1.5 acres worked well with no attractant for the last year. When I put in the attractant, the bug pile under the zapper is 3-4 time larger every day so I am impressed. The picture is from the Flowtron site.

Works with the UV bulb.

There was a time one Summer ago, my backyard was infested with so many Mosquitos. They were swarming around due to the damp spots on some places where it loves to live and hide. It made it really difficult for me to enjoy the outdoors because of this. I always get bitten by many of them. I started buying one of the Flowtron Mosquito lamps for outdoors and place in under my awning and turn it on during the night time. I hear zaps constantly, letting me know that this is working, and it sure did. However, there was a point in time, where it had had less zaps than before, and I knew I had to buy replacement cartridges. It is where the Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges had made it possible to replenish the attraction of the mosquito to the lamp and before you know it, zap them. These cartridges saved me from getting bitten many times. There are times that I do inevitably still get bitten by them, but nowhere near as much as I had when the Flowtron wasn't around. These are direct replacements of the Mosquito lamp and they work a good amount of time. Lifespan of it varies depending on environment and the placement of the lamp. To hear the satisfying zap one by one just makes me feel at ease that these mosquitos will not stand a chance. Cleaning the Flowtron, is another story. Just because you zap them, their "leftovers" are plastered and stuck onto the lamp, and you have to occasionally you have to clean them or else the attractant will not reach far enough to attract the mosquitoes and the zap wouldn't be efficient.

I was skeptical this would work to attract mosquitoes to the Flowtron bug zapper. After all, mosquitoes are primarily attracted to heat, CO2, and moisture - in other words bodies and their breathing. They care not one whit about lights, so I wasn't sure the Flowtron Octenol would do anything to pull mosquitoes in. But the Octenol does work. It has to - there is nothing else about the Flowtron that would be of any interest to a mosquito. Yet, once a week when I use a small twig to clean off the electrified rails of bug parts, there is no shortage of clearly identifiable mosquitoes fried & stuck to the rails. The makers of Octenol claim that it mimics other scents in human breath that mosquitoes like; the proof of the pudding is stuck in my trap every week, so they made an empirical believer out of me. Alas it only attracts the night-flying black mosquitoes where we live. I'm grateful for that, which is why I gave it 5 stars. And as final proof we can go out in our yard and on our deck and not be bothered by mosquitoes at night. The daytime is another story however. We also have the day-flying Tiger mosquitoes around here, and clearly the Octenol is doing nothing for them as they bother us during the day. But the Octenol doesn't claim to attract Tiger mosquitoes which is why I'm not taking off any stars. Lurex is advertized to work on the Tiger mosquitoes; alas Flowtron doesn't sell the Lurex bait in a form factor compatible with their trap. Nevertheless, I'll take mosquito-free evenings, and be grateful for that. FYI I change out the Octenol cartridges once a month; that seems to work fine. They have a double-sided piece of sticky tape in each individually wrapped package, which you can use to mount the bait underneath the Flowtron trap.

They OK. When I attached one of these to my zapper with a plastic tie, it seem to work very well the 1st night. No good during the day. After 1st night, the mosquito suicide seem to die down. Each day after that, seems to get less mosquitoes. Great for June bugs. After 14 days of this, I attached another cartridge leaving the 1st one attached. Wow, The mosquito suicide started up again, after dusk. Again, after about the 3rd night. Less suicides. That's all I can say about these cartridges. In about 14 days, I will replace a 3rd one in place with the 1st one. I will continue to rotate the cartridges in this order. This way seems to work better. The price with Amazon seem to be cheaper then the store. Because they do seem to work somewhat vs nothing at all, I will continue to use them. Without the cartridge, my zapper makes a good yard light. I hope this helps. These cartridges will work with any zapper, but get the plastic ties to attach them. The sticky stick on's are junk

Working very good

Helps keep the blood suckers away

It does work if you are using it for the flowering, but I am giving just 4 instead of 5 stars because it came without the sticky material to secure it. Good luck if you do not have a double tape because you will not able to secure it under neat of the flowtron.

自宅周辺の蚊は誘引されないようでした。 残念でした。蚊の種類にもよるのでしょうか。 実験を延長します。
