Attract, Trap & Kill disease carrying mosquitoes, midges and more.
Overview
The use of attractants in Traps has been shown to increase capture rates of many mosquito species.
Octenol is a key ingredient in Mega-Catch™ fragrance strips, and has been proven to enhance Trap performance and boost capture rates of mosquitoes and other biting insects including biting midges (no-see-ums), black flies and sand flies.
There are two slots in the base of the Traps to insert the fragrance strips - either one or two strips may be used at one time. Mega-Catch™ Fragrance Strips are effective for up to 30 days depending on weather conditions.
Features
All Mega-Catch™ mosquito traps are designed to work with or without attractants however different mosquito species respond in different ways and there are so many variations in their behaviours and in the things that attract and repel them.
Some species may not be overly attracted to Octenol so it pays to experiment in order to determine whether Mega-Catch™ Fragrance Strips are MORE or LESS effective with the mosquito species in your area.
Once opened the active attracting ingredients will slowly dissipate. We recommend that lures should be replaced every 30 days to remain effective and to maintain optimum capture rates throughout the entire season.
When storing your trap at the end of the season, remove and discard any opened attractant lures.
