Rapid Action Black Octenol
Rapid Action - Black Octenol - effective against mosquitoes.
Rapid Action Black Octenol is a scent cartridge that enhances the lure effect in your mosquito trap. The scent mimics human breath and the skin's natural odors. This causes mosquitoes to perceive the machine as a host.
The black variant is designed for areas where mosquitoes are the main problem.
Adapted for mosquitoes
The black scent contains Octenol (1-octen-3-ol). Octenol is a well-known attractant used in mosquito traps worldwide. It is especially suitable for:
- Areas with many mosquitoes
- Gardens and properties where mosquitoes dominate
- Climates where midges are not the primary problem
Enhances the machine's effectiveness
Octenol acts as a bait. When used together with carbon dioxide, the trapping effect increases.
- Lasts approximately 4 weeks
- Easy to install
- Optimizes the lure effect
- Effective against mosquitoes
For best results, the scent should be replaced regularly throughout the season.
Fits:
- AMT 200
- Predator Dynamic
- SkeeterVac
Frequently Asked Questions about Octenol / Octanol
Here you will find clear answers about the difference between Octenol and Octanol and how to choose the right scent.
Is Octenol the same as Octanol?
No. Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) is the substance used in mosquito traps.
“Octanol” is another chemical compound and a common misspelling in searches. It is Octenol that is used as the attractant in mosquito traps.

Choose the black variant when mosquitoes are the biggest problem and the focus is on reducing the mosquito population.
If you have problems with both mosquitoes and midges, the green variant can be a better and more versatile choice.
Other important information
- Follow the instructions that come with the product. Never disassemble or cut open the Octenol cartridge itself (i.e., the hard plastic casing). Doing so risks direct contact with the Octenol agent inside the cartridge. Usage other than as specified here may cause higher concentrations which can be harmful to health and irritating.
- In case of accidental ingestion of the Octenol agent inside the cartridge, immediately call the Poison Control Center or a doctor for advice. Let the person drink water in small sips.
- If the concentrated agent inside the cartridge gets on your skin or in your 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.
