Review: I was skeptical this would work to attract mosquitoes to the Flowtron bug zapper. After all, mosquitoes are primarily attracted to heat, CO2, and moisture - in other words bodies and their breathing. They care not one whit about lights, so I wasn't sure the Flowtron Octenol would do anything to pull mosquitoes in. But the Octenol does work. It has to - there is nothing else about the Flowtron that would be of any interest to a mosquito. Yet, once a week when I use a small twig to clean off the electrified rails of bug parts, there is no shortage of clearly identifiable mosquitoes fried & stuck to the rails. The makers of Octenol claim that it mimics other scents in human breath that mosquitoes like; the proof of the pudding is stuck in my trap every week, so they made an empirical believer out of me. Alas it only attracts the night-flying black mosquitoes where we live. I'm grateful for that, which is why I gave it 5 stars. And as final proof we can go out in our yard and on our deck and not be bothered by mosquitoes at night. The daytime is another story however. We also have the day-flying Tiger mosquitoes around here, and clearly the Octenol is doing nothing for them as they bother us during the day. But the Octenol doesn't claim to attract Tiger mosquitoes which is why I'm not taking off any stars. Lurex is advertized to work on the Tiger mosquitoes; alas Flowtron doesn't sell the Lurex bait in a form factor compatible with their trap. Nevertheless, I'll take mosquito-free evenings, and be grateful for that. FYI I change out the Octenol cartridges once a month; that seems to work fine. They have a double-sided piece of sticky tape in each individually wrapped package, which you can use to mount the bait underneath the Flowtron trap. Review: 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. ## Features - Item Category: Pest Control Device - Item Trademark: Flowtron - manufacturer: Generic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000063XHT | | Brand Name | Flowtron | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,140) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026713810064 | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Weight | 9 g | | Manufacturer | Flowtron | | Manufacturer Part Number | MA 1000 - 6 | | Model Number | MA-1000-6F | | Number of Pieces | 6 | | Style Name | Modern | | Target Species | Mosquito | | UPC | 026713810064 | | Unit Count | 6 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Flowtron - **Is electric:** Yes - **Item weight:** 0.02 Pounds - **Number of pieces:** 6 - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Flowtron MA-1000-6 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges, 6-Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91n+mxng5NL.jpg) ![Flowtron MA-1000-6 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges, 6-Pack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81N99lBY+BL.jpg) ![Flowtron MA-1000-6 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges, 6-Pack - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XipAKHAyL.jpg) ![Flowtron MA-1000-6 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges, 6-Pack - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21-i2zoUVDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you install this? Does it work in any light?** A: I just purchased a 6-pkof thee with a new Dynatrap 3/4 acra bug trap. where shall I install and how do I install this on my Dynatrap for best results?Thanks !!! **Q: People say this works for 30 days or longer, but the package says, "For best results, change every 100 hours". What is the real story?** A: That's what it said on the package of mosquito attractant that came with my Flowtron bug zapper, but these refills last much longer (4.5x longer or 450 hours). They are not the same as the cartridges that are included with the zapper. **Q: how often do you change it** A: About every 30 days but sometimes I let it go longer. Depends on it I am getting a good amount of insects. **Q: I have some unopened octenol cartridges from last year, are they still good? what is the unopened shelf life?** A: Just doing some simple math here. One of these lasts for about 3 months in use (1/4 of a year). This means that you would use about 4 in a year (Less if you experience winter). They sell these in 6 packs, and they are only good for a year unopened. Doesn't this mean you're throwing 2 or more of these away every year? Scratching my head over here. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 17 June 2014* I was skeptical this would work to attract mosquitoes to the Flowtron bug zapper.

Sometimes they attract more bugs that deterring the problem such as Beatles . I find the cartridges on the ground ruined unless I use my own adhesive tape , and they just should be so much better for the hassle and the price . I feel terrible when the geckos get murdered violently by these contraptions, I wish it was the mosquitos . Living in Florida it’s such a terrible problem ,but different times of night and weather have made me think they work sometimes , but seeing the pattern it’s just that ... based on rain and different temperatures rather then the product .I am going to do a major clean on the zappers use brand new cartridges one more time and if anything changes , you will be the first ones to know , but unfortunately this won’t be the first time so I’m not expecting a miracle, although what I wouldn’t do for one . Mosquitos are the worst ! ## Frequently Bought Together - Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges (6-Pack), Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800 - Flowtron BF-190 UV Replacement Bulb for BK-40D Outdoor Bug Zapper | Powerful 40W Bulb | Up to 1 Acre Coverage - BF190 Bug Zapper Replacement Bulb Compatible with Flowtron BK-40D, 10 Inch FUL32T8/BL U Type Replacement Light Bulb for 32W Outdoor Electronic Insect Killer with 4-Pin Base, 1 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/257021210-flowtron-ma-1000-6-octenol-mosquito-attractant-cartridges-6-pack](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/257021210-flowtron-ma-1000-6-octenol-mosquito-attractant-cartridges-6-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
