Rapid Action Red Octenol
Rapid Action Red Octenol - For warmer climates and intense mosquito activity.
Rapid Action Red Octenol is a scent cartridge that enhances the attraction effect in your mosquito trap. The scent mimics human exhalation and the natural odors of the skin, making mosquitoes perceive the machine as a human.
The red variant is specially designed for areas with high mosquito activity and warmer climates.
Adapted for more aggressive species
The red scent contains a combination of Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) and a higher proportion of lactic acid. This composition has been shown to be effective against more aggressive and heat-adapted mosquito species.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Southern Europe
- Warmer parts of the world
- Areas with intense mosquito presence
Enhances the machine's effectiveness
Octenol acts as a lure that, together with carbon dioxide, significantly increases the catch efficiency. For best results, the scent should be replaced regularly during the season.
- Lasts about 4 weeks
- Easy to install
- Optimizes the attraction effect
Suitable for:
- AMT 200
- Predator Dynamic
- SkeeterVac
Frequently Asked Questions about Octenol / Octanol
Here you will find clear answers about the differences between Octenol and Octanol as well as choosing the scent.
Is Octenol the same as Octanol?
No. Octenol (1-octen-3-ol) is the active attractant used in mosquito traps.
“Octanol” is another chemical compound and a common misspelling in searches. It is Octenol that is used in lures for mosquito traps.
When should you choose the red scent?
The red variant is suitable for high mosquito activity or in warmer climates where mosquito pressure is high.
For more mixed issues with both mosquitoes and midges, the green variant may be a more versatile option.
Other Important Information
- Follow the instructions that accompany 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. Using it other than as specified can cause higher concentrations which may be hazardous to health and cause irritation.
- In case of ingestion of the Octenol agent inside the cartridge, immediately call the Poison Control Center or a doctor for advice. Allow the person to 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 gently 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.
