(Tiger mosquitoes in the daytime: not so much.) - 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. ## Features - The Flowtron Octenol Mosquito Attractant is the X-Factor of the Outdoor Bug Zapper series of products. - When used along with the UV Bulb, it helps increase the effectiveness of the Bug Zappers and keeps you and your family safe from mosquitoes and other insects. - This slow-release cartridge contains 1660 mg of octenol mosquito attractant and lasts for up to 450 hours. - This Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge is compatible with the following models: BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800. - Note: Please use Octenol only for outdoor applications. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004R9W5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,776 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #525 in Pest Control Products | | Brand Name | Flowtron | | Color | 1-Pack | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (7,375) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026713810002 | | Item Type Name | cartridge | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Flowtron | | Manufacturer Part Number | MA-1000 | | Model Number | MA1000 | | Power Source | Manual | | Style Name | Attractant Cartridge | | UPC | 078433202148 026713810002 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Flowtron - **Color:** 1-Pack - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00026713810002 - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Power Source:** Manual - **Style:** Attractant Cartridge - **UPC:** 078433202148 026713810002 - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge, Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7121d5xBupL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it attract flies as well as mosquito's?** A: No flies in my zapper, moths and mosquitoes **Q: This will work any brand zapper correct not just Flowtron?** A: This product contains a half dozen octenol cartridges shaped to fit the holder on the bottom of the Flowtron bug zapper. To use it in another zapper, you would need a holder. Since the Flowtron's holder is on the very bottom of the zapper, I found it difficult to keep these in the holder without gravity taking its toll. I ended up putting these on the shelf as spares and going with the Black Flag octenol lure instead, since it comes with a handy holder which clips onto the side of just about any zapper. I believe (hope?) I can use the Flowtron cartridges in this holder when I need to refresh the octenol. **Q: I ordered this last year for $8.46, now it's $24.95. Why?** A: COVID19!!!!! Everything will cost 2-3 times more. Amazing how the new normal will affect the wallet. **Q: Is the plastic cover on the bottom of this product supposed to be removed or not ?** A: The bottom rectangular piece is removable and the mosquito bait is placed inside the part so gravity is a good thing ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What attractant the bug light works so much better *by M***. on April 9, 2026* Works great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really does attract (nighttime) mosquitos to the Flowtron.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge, Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800 - BF150 Bug Zapper Replacement Bulb Compatible with Flowtron BK-80D, MC9000, and FC7600, 12 Inch FUL40T8/BL U Type Light Bulb for 40W Electronic Insect Killer, 1 Pack - Flowtron Replacement UV Bulb Starter for Bug Zappers, Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80 & MC-9000 --- ## 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/5647294-ma-1000-octenol-mosquito-attractant-cartridge-compatible-with-bk-15](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5647294-ma-1000-octenol-mosquito-attractant-cartridge-compatible-with-bk-15) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
