Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge, Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800

I live in the northern midwest and have been using these cartridges for nearly 10 years now, with multiple BK-80D large size Flowtrons. That size of Flowtron takes 2 of these cartridges on the bottom. The cartridges work very well and seem to last very long, definitely longer than 1 month I would say. However, 2 major things.One is, the cartridges have gotten so much more expensive over the years, I can hardly believe it! From a couple dollars each to about $10-12 each. I know inflation is bad these days, but that bad? To the point where I now try to make one set of cartridges last the whole mosquito season, which is probably stretching it.Two is, you need to stick these cartridges to the bottom of the Flowtron a very specific way, otherwise they will fall off too soon. If you look at the bottom of the Flowtron where these go, the flaps of the slot don't make a flat surface because the light bulb pushes against the two flaps from the other side and causes the flaps to bulge out a bit. Thus, if you try to stick the cartridge centered on this convex section, it'll never stick for long. Instead, I cut the adhesive strip in half, stick both on 1 side of the cartridge, and then press that side of the cartridge very well to just 1 flap of the slot. So basically only half of the cartridge is stuck very well to 1 flap on the bottom of the Flowtron, while the other half of the cartridge is just hanging there not touching the other flap at all. But it is better to have half the cartridge stuck well, than all of the cartridge stuck poorly. Since I started doing this, I have not had any cartridges falling off before it was time to change them out.

These have always worked well, but the last several shipments do not have good enough tape to stick to the zapper.

Stuck in catch basket of a Dynatrap, greatly increased mosquito catch rate. Worked much better than other brands of attractants. More mosquitoes caught in a few days then previously seen in weeks

This didn’t attract mosquitoes at my house. I have used this before with the same brand machine and it is done great. However, this one didn’t even smell when I got it out and did not attract mosquitoes. I wasn’t sure whether it might be old or had been in the warehouse too long so I complained and they gave me a credit. I have tried ordering a different brand to see if maybe that will work. Again, they are typically very good but for some reason this last one I got did not work hardly at all

We have had our Flowtron bug zapper since Aug. of '23 and have been very pleased with it so far. I knew it was time for a refill. I purchased these and they seem to be very good quality. I have to chuckle to myself with all of these reviews regarding the smell. You guys do understand that this is an attractant for your bug zapper. Flies and other winged pests are attracted to things that may not necessarily be that attractive smelling to us, don't you think? I also see some people saying that these didn't work when they sat them around their home. That is not what these REFILLS are for. These are to go in your electric Flowtron bug zapper. Anyways, just like we all have to do on Amazon reviews nowadays - Just weed through the completely unhelpful reviews. If you have any of the bug zappers listed with one of the model numbers in the title then you are in the right place and these will work for you! Happy zapping friends!

Living on the water in Texas can be truly wonderful, but the bugs and especially the mosquitoes can put a real damper on your enjoyment. I purchased a Flowtron bug zapper and a few extra packages of this mosquito attractant and I was AMAZED by what happened next! The first night was a pure slaughterhouse! We must have killed thousands of bugs and there was a dark cloud of mosquitoes around the Flowtron, all waiting their turn to meet their maker. And meet their maker they did...all while we laughed and toasted their demise from the comfort of our patio 25 feet away. The mosquito attractant only lasts for 100 hours of use, so we use it only when we're outside.

Good

I have placed these around the house in spots that mosquitos seem to love. we are in Florida and deal with mosquitos year long. (still don't know where they are getting in at) but thats a story for another time. These thing are pretty useless, like i said they are in areas that kill us with mosquitos, and ive placed them right in the middle of the zapper. i see the mosquitos with my own eyes and they want nothing to do with it. they aren't attracted to them at all. you should see them fly around the zapper we have but not one is getting lured towards this "Attractant". will never will buy this again thats for sure
