Summer Consumption-Red Predator/Skeetervac
Summer consumption Predator & SkeeterVac - 4 pcs Red Octenol + 6 glue sheets.
Ensure maximum effectiveness in your Predator or SkeeterVac throughout the entire mosquito season. This summer package contains the right amount of scent and glue sheets to maintain high attractant effect and effective mosquito capture.
The red scent is developed to work especially well in warmer climates and areas with more aggressive mosquito species such as floodwater mosquitoes, subway mosquitoes, tiger mosquitoes, among others.
Adapted for warmer climates
The red variant contains a composition with a higher proportion of lactic acid in combination with Octenol (1-octen-3-ol). The combination enhances attraction in environments where the mosquito population is intense, for example in southern Europe and similar climates.
When Octenol is combined with carbon dioxide, mosquitoes perceive the machine as a human, which increases the attractant effect and improves capture.
- Optimized for Predator and SkeeterVac
- Adapted for warmer climates
- Effective during high mosquito activity
- Easy to replace
- Ensures stable performance
Regular replacement of scent and glue sheets is crucial for the machine to work efficiently throughout the season.
Contents of this package:
- 4 pcs Red Octenol
- 6 glue sheets (2 x 3-pack)
The red scent is a good choice in areas with intense mosquito presence or in southern Europe where the mosquito season is longer and more demanding.
Rapid Action glue sheets with contrast pattern
The glue sheets are of the Rapid Action type and feature a distinct grass pattern with high contrast. Studies and practical tests show that mosquitoes are attracted by clear contrasts in their surroundings.
This means that the glue sheets not only capture insects mechanically – they also actively contribute to increasing the capture effect through visual attraction.
Frequently Asked Questions about Octenol
Here you will find clear answers about scent choice, durability, 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.
When should I choose the red scent?
The red variant is suitable in warmer climates or where mosquito activity is intense. For more mixed problems with both mosquitoes and gnats, the green variant may be an alternative.
How long does an Octenol scent last?
An Octenol scent usually lasts about 30 days with continuous operation. For best effect, it should be replaced regularly throughout the season.
Why do I have to replace the glue sheets?
When the glue sheets are full, the capture effect decreases. Regular replacement ensures the machine continues to work with maximum efficiency.
Other important information
- Follow the instructions accompanying 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 substance inside the cartridge. Using it in any other way than stated here can cause higher concentrations which may be harmful to health and cause irritation.
- If Octenol substance inside the cartridge is ingested, immediately call the Poison Control Center or a physician for advice. Let the person drink water in small sips.
- If you get the concentrated substance inside the cartridge 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, ensure fresh air and rest.
- Unused cartridges should be stored in a cool and dry place.
