 Smells the same, costs less, and a name brandJul 02, 2007
By Krystof
(PS 2010--there is now a better attractant that attracts more kinds of mosquito. So this product is perhaps obsolete.)
Can be placed in any type of mosquito killer or catcher. Just place anywhere that the air flows around it. This is the best buy with Amazon free shipping. (Other suppliers will charge shipping for each small package. It adds up.)
This may be smaller than your original cartridges. However, no matter how big a cartridge is, it can not last much longer. It is better to buy the cheapest cartridge and replace it more often. And Flowtron is a name brand, not some unknown manufacturer.
I keep 2 of these cartridges in each mosquito trap, as follows. Twice a month, the oldest cartridge is thrown out, the other is moved to the back, and a new one is placed in the front. In my experience, Octenol may be more significant for catching the mosquitos than CO2, LED lights, UV lights, etc.
NOTE: please hold your breath from the moment you open the package--place your mosquito trap away from where you sit or work--use gloves or be very careful not to touch the chemically infused areas. I doubt that anyone knows the long term risks of octenol. The smell is noticably noxious, sort of like moth balls, and labeled as dangerous.

No more mosquitoesOct 05, 2008
By C. Baez
The Flowtron lamp doesn't work at all to get rid of the mosquitoes without these cartridges.
They're great!
Just make sure that you paste it so that the holes on the cartridge are exposed because my boyfriend did it the other way around and couldn't figure out why it didn't work until I got a closer look at it!

Be gone Mosquitos!!!Aug 24, 2007
By kacie21
We live on 1/2 acre w/2 pools behind our house, so I purched the Flowtron Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges for the Flowtron 80-Watt. This unit has performed wonderfully! Our family was tired of spraying w/a mosquito repellent just to go outside even for a brief moment w/out being swarmed by mosquitos so this was just what we needed. Best purchase for some relief. Higly Remommended!!

Does Its Job But At A CostJul 07, 2008
By John Murray
This can get pretty expensive during the summer. You will go through one cartridge per week, so stock up if on sale.

 Not sure how effective it isAug 28, 2009
By A. Kim
I bought a Flowtran 40W several weeks ago. I used the trap with and without the Octenol. In my opinion, there is hardly any difference whether I use the octenol or not. The trap only works after sunset, and it seems like the light is the only thing that attracts the bugs. When I am out during the day working in the yard, I can see mosquitoes trying to bite me, but they don't bother to check out my trap+octenol set up. If they like Octenol, I should hear the 'zap' throughout the day, but I don't. I also read the government reviews ([...]) and it doesn't look like Octenol does any 'magic' to attract the bugs.
