Mosquito Magnet® Attractants
Using attractants is critical to the performance of your
Mosquito Magnet®.
Once mosquitoes sense the carbon dioxide from the Mosquito Magnet, they need
secondary attractants, Octenol or Lurex3, to hone in on the trap.

Lurex3™ FAQs
What is Lurex3™?
Lurex3™ is an attractant specifically designed to attract the
Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes Albopictus). If the Asian Tiger Mosquito is the
predominant pest in your area, we recommend that you try Lurex3™ in
your Mosquito Magnet®.
Who should use Lurex3™ ?
Customers who live in areas where Asian Tiger is the predominant mosquito
should use Lurex3™ instead of Octenol. We recommend the use of
Octenol for customers who live within about 10 miles from the coast, where salt
marsh mosquitoes and no-see-ums are most likely the predominant pests.
Why is Lurex3™ better than Octenol for Asian Tiger Mosquito?
Our studies have shown that Lurex3™ catches almost three times
more Asian Tiger Mosquitoes than Octenol.
What if I have other mosquitoes besides Asian Tiger, should I still use
Lurex3™?
If Asian Tiger Mosquito is your predominant pest, we recommend that you use
Lurex3™. If you live along the coast we recommend using Octenol
since the primary pests are probably salt marsh mosquitoes and no-see-ums.
