Octenol Mosquito Lure is a naturally occurring by-product that comes from plants and some animals. Attract mosquitoes to your Mosquito Magnet traps (not included), for a more insect free yard and fewer annoying mosquito bits. Octenol, when combined with carbon dioxide produced by Mosquito Magnet traps (not included), increases the catch of many different biting insects . We recommend Octenol as an alternative to Lurex 3N for customers located in the northern United States. Use in Mosquito Magnet Defender, Mosquito Magnet Liberty, and Mosquito Magnet Liberty Plus.
