Flowtron Octenol Mosquito Attractant

Octenol is a synthetic version of a natural chemical found in the breath and sweat of mammals. When placed in your insect trap, it mimics these biological cues, effectively luring mosquitoes and biting flies away from you and toward the trap's killing grid.

No, this attractant is specifically formulated to target mosquitoes and biting flies. It does not contain pheromones or other chemicals that typically attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, or moths.

For optimal performance, you should replace the cartridge every 30 days. The slow-release formula is designed to provide consistent coverage over that period, but its effectiveness will diminish as the active ingredient is depleted.

These cartridges are specifically engineered for Flowtron models, including the BK15D, BK40D, BK80D, and the MT series. While they may physically fit other devices, we recommend using them only with compatible Flowtron units to ensure the release rate and safety standards are met.

No, these are strictly for outdoor use. Using them indoors can actually draw more insects into your home, which is the opposite of the intended effect.

No activation is required. Simply remove the cartridge from its sealed packaging and place it into the designated compartment of your insect killer. The slow-release mechanism begins working as soon as it is exposed to the air.
