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.
