Mosquito Magnet Attractants - Octenol & Lurex

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.

Choose The Attractant That's Right For You

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.
