Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge, Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800-3 Pack

The Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge works extremely well at my home. I am in the woods of GA with farms around that have horses, cattle, goats, etc. so we have plenty of bugs around. My Flowtron BK-80-D that works up to 1.5 acres worked well with no attractant for the last year. When I put in the attractant, the bug pile under the zapper is 3-4 time larger every day so I am impressed. The picture is from the Flowtron site.

I was extremely doubtful, but I put this cartridge into the bottom of my zapper. And it certainly did not disappoint. If you are putting this in a zapper and you don't seem to hear anything getting electrocuted, it might be your bulb in your zapper that is going. Those bulbs from what I have read do not last long at all and lose their effectiveness to lure insects to it. Replacing the bulb in some cases cost every bit as much as the zapper did so do your research.

There was a time one Summer ago, my backyard was infested with so many Mosquitos. They were swarming around due to the damp spots on some places where it loves to live and hide. It made it really difficult for me to enjoy the outdoors because of this. I always get bitten by many of them. I started buying one of the Flowtron Mosquito lamps for outdoors and place in under my awning and turn it on during the night time. I hear zaps constantly, letting me know that this is working, and it sure did. However, there was a point in time, where it had had less zaps than before, and I knew I had to buy replacement cartridges. It is where the Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges had made it possible to replenish the attraction of the mosquito to the lamp and before you know it, zap them. These cartridges saved me from getting bitten many times. There are times that I do inevitably still get bitten by them, but nowhere near as much as I had when the Flowtron wasn't around. These are direct replacements of the Mosquito lamp and they work a good amount of time. Lifespan of it varies depending on environment and the placement of the lamp. To hear the satisfying zap one by one just makes me feel at ease that these mosquitos will not stand a chance. Cleaning the Flowtron, is another story. Just because you zap them, their "leftovers" are plastered and stuck onto the lamp, and you have to occasionally you have to clean them or else the attractant will not reach far enough to attract the mosquitoes and the zap wouldn't be efficient.

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.

They OK. When I attached one of these to my zapper with a plastic tie, it seem to work very well the 1st night. No good during the day. After 1st night, the mosquito suicide seem to die down. Each day after that, seems to get less mosquitoes. Great for June bugs. After 14 days of this, I attached another cartridge leaving the 1st one attached. Wow, The mosquito suicide started up again, after dusk. Again, after about the 3rd night. Less suicides. That's all I can say about these cartridges. In about 14 days, I will replace a 3rd one in place with the 1st one. I will continue to rotate the cartridges in this order. This way seems to work better. The price with Amazon seem to be cheaper then the store. Because they do seem to work somewhat vs nothing at all, I will continue to use them. Without the cartridge, my zapper makes a good yard light. I hope this helps. These cartridges will work with any zapper, but get the plastic ties to attach them. The sticky stick on's are junk

Great product.

This review is to offset my original review. I called FlowTron. These are legit—they were able to look up my order from the Amazon order #. They are replacing the defective mosquito attractants-since the ones sent did not work AND I reported it before the 30 days for return was up. I have had them in the past and they do a great job of calling in mosquitoes to the zapper.

It does work if you are using it for the flowering, but I am giving just 4 instead of 5 stars because it came without the sticky material to secure it. Good luck if you do not have a double tape because you will not able to secure it under neat of the flowtron.
