Summer Consumption-Green Predator/Skeetervac
Summer Consumption Predator & SkeeterVac - 4 pcs Green Octenol + 6 glue papers.
Ensure maximum effectiveness in your Predator or SkeeterVac throughout the entire mosquito season. This summer package contains the right amount of scent and glue papers to maintain high attraction effect and efficient capture of mosquitoes and gnats.
For a mosquito trap to work optimally, both carbon dioxide and the right scent compound are required. Here, Green Octenol is used, a proven attractant that mimics human scent and attracts biting insects.
Why Octenol is crucial
Mosquitoes and gnats primarily navigate via scent signals. When Octenol is combined with carbon dioxide, the attraction effect is significantly enhanced, increasing catches and helping reduce the local population.
Regular replacement of scent and glue paper is essential for the machine to operate efficiently throughout the season.
- Optimized for Predator and SkeeterVac
- Improves attraction effect
- Easy to replace
- Ensures consistent and stable performance
Contents of this package
- 4 pcs Green Octenol
- 6 glue papers (2 x 3 packs)
The green scent contains Octenol and lactic acid, making it particularly effective in areas where both mosquitoes and gnats are present. It is a versatile option suitable for Northern Europe and similar climates.
Rapid Action glue papers with contrast pattern
The glue papers are of the Rapid Action type and feature a distinct lawn pattern with high contrast. Studies and practical tests show that mosquitoes are attracted to clear contrasts in their surroundings.
This means the glue papers not only mechanically trap insects – they also actively contribute to increasing the catch effect through visual attraction. The pattern makes them more effective than single-color alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions about Octenol
Here you will find clear answers about differences, effectiveness, and maintenance related to Octenol in mosquito traps.
Is Octenol the same as Oktanol?
Yes – in mosquito contexts, “Oktanol” 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.
Does Green Octenol also attract gnats?
Yes. The combination of Octenol and lactic acid makes the green variant effective against both mosquitoes and gnats.
How long does an Octenol scent last?
An Octenol scent typically lasts about 30 days during continuous use. For best effect, the scent should be replaced regularly throughout the season.
Why must the glue paper be replaced?
Glue papers catch insects that are not sucked into the machine. When the paper is full, the catch effect decreases. Regular replacement ensures the machine continues to operate with maximum efficiency.
Other important information

- Follow the instructions that come with the product. Never disassemble or cut open the Octenol cartridge (i.e., the hard plastic casing). Doing so risks direct contact with the Octenol substance inside the cartridge. Using it in other ways than indicated here may cause higher concentrations which can be harmful to health and cause irritation.
- If the Octenol substance inside the cartridge is ingested, immediately call the Poison Control Center or a doctor for advice. Have the person drink water in small sips.
- If the concentrated substance inside the cartridge gets on your skin or in your eyes, immediately wash the skin or rinse the eyes slowly and carefully with plenty of water.
- If a person inhales a high concentration of Octenol, ensure fresh air and rest.
- Unused cartridges should be stored in a cool, dry place.
