Rapid Action - Green Octenol
Rapid Action - Green Octenol - For mosquitoes and midges in Europe
Rapid Action Green Octenol is an effective scent cartridge that enhances the attraction effect in your mosquito trap. The scent mimics human exhalation and the natural odors of the skin, causing mosquitoes and midges to perceive the machine as a human.
The green variant is designed to function optimally in areas where both mosquitoes and midges are present.
Adapted for areas with both mosquitoes and midges
The green scent contains a combination of Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) and lactic acid. The combination makes it especially effective when several biting species occur simultaneously.
It is particularly suitable in:
- Northern Europe
- Scandinavia
- Areas with both mosquitoes and midges
Enhances the machine's effectiveness
Octenol acts as an attractant which, together with carbon dioxide, significantly increases the trapping effect. When lactic acid is added, the attraction broadens to more species.
- Lasts about 4 weeks
- Easy to install
- Optimizes attraction effect
- Effective against both mosquitoes and midges
For best results, the scent should be replaced regularly during the season.
Suitable for:
- AMT 200
- Predator Dynamic
- SkeeterVac
