Summer Consumption-Black Predator/Skeetervac
Summer Consumption Predator & SkeeterVac - 4 pcs Black Octenol + 6 Glue Boards
Ensure maximum effectiveness in your Predator or SkeeterVac throughout the entire mosquito season. This summer package contains the right amount of scent and glue boards to maintain high attraction and effective mosquito capture.
The black scent is based on Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) – a well-proven attractant that mimics human scent and is especially effective at attracting mosquitoes.
Specially tailored for mosquitoes
Octenol is used in professional mosquito traps worldwide because the compound enhances the effect of carbon dioxide. The combination makes mosquitoes perceive the machine as a host to approach. The black variant is mainly adapted for areas where mosquitoes are the primary problem.
- Optimized for Predator and SkeeterVac
- Effective against mosquitoes
- Easy to replace
- Maintains the machine's performance
Regular replacement of scent and glue boards is crucial to maintain high trapping efficiency.
Contents of this package
- 4 pcs Black Octenol
- 6 glue boards (2 x 3-pack)
The black scent contains pure Octenol and is an effective choice in areas where mosquitoes dominate and midges are not the main problem.
Rapid Action glue boards with contrast pattern
The glue boards are of the Rapid Action type and have a distinct lawn pattern with high contrast. Studies and practical tests show that mosquitoes are attracted to clear contrasts in their surroundings.
This means that the glue boards not only trap insects mechanically – they also actively contribute to increasing the trapping effect through visual attraction.
Frequently Asked Questions about Octenol / Octanol
Here you will find clear answers about the differences between scents and the use of Octenol in mosquito traps.
Is Octenol the same as Octanol?
Yes – in mosquito contexts, “Octanol” is a common misspelling of Octenol (1-octen-3-ol). The correct substance in mosquito traps is Octenol, and this is what is used in, for example, Predator and SkeeterVac.
Is the black scent effective against midges?
The black scent is primarily designed for mosquitoes. If you have major issues with both mosquitoes and midges, the green variant may be a more versatile option.
How long does an Octenol scent last?
An Octenol scent typically lasts about 30 days with continuous operation. For best effect, the scent should be replaced regularly throughout the season.
Other Important Information
- Follow the instructions that come with the product. Never dismantle or cut open the Octenol cartridge itself (i.e., the hard plastic casing). Doing so risks direct contact with the Octenol substance inside the cartridge. Using it in ways other than specified here can cause higher concentrations which may be harmful and irritating.
- If Octenol substance inside the cartridge is ingested, immediately call the Poison Control Center or a doctor for advice. Allow the person to drink water in small sips.
- If the concentrated substance inside the cartridge comes into contact with your skin or eyes, immediately wash the skin or rinse the eye slowly and carefully with plenty of water.
- If a person inhales a high concentration of octenol, provide fresh air and rest.
- Unused cartridges should be stored in a cool and dry place.
