Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges (6-Pack), Compatible with BK-15, BK-40, BK-80, MC-9000, FC-8800

I live in the northern midwest and have been using these cartridges for nearly 10 years now, with multiple BK-80D large size Flowtrons. That size of Flowtron takes 2 of these cartridges on the bottom. The cartridges work very well and seem to last very long, definitely longer than 1 month I would say. However, 2 major things. One is, the cartridges have gotten so much more expensive over the years, I can hardly believe it! From a couple dollars each to about $10-12 each. I know inflation is bad these days, but that bad? To the point where I now try to make one set of cartridges last the whole mosquito season, which is probably stretching it. Two is, you need to stick these cartridges to the bottom of the Flowtron a very specific way, otherwise they will fall off too soon. If you look at the bottom of the Flowtron where these go, the flaps of the slot don't make a flat surface because the light bulb pushes against the two flaps from the other side and causes the flaps to bulge out a bit. Thus, if you try to stick the cartridge centered on this convex section, it'll never stick for long. Instead, I cut the adhesive strip in half, stick both on 1 side of the cartridge, and then press that side of the cartridge very well to just 1 flap of the slot. So basically only half of the cartridge is stuck very well to 1 flap on the bottom of the Flowtron, while the other half of the cartridge is just hanging there not touching the other flap at all. But it is better to have half the cartridge stuck well, than all of the cartridge stuck poorly. Since I started doing this, I have not had any cartridges falling off before it was time to change them out.

Works great I have noticed a lot less mosquitoes plus flies on my back deck during the early morning or late afternoon setting and enjoying my deck and back yard area

There was a time one Summer ago, my backyard was infested with so many Mosquitos. They were swarming around due to the damp spots on some places where it loves to live and hide. It made it really difficult for me to enjoy the outdoors because of this. I always get bitten by many of them. I started buying one of the Flowtron Mosquito lamps for outdoors and place in under my awning and turn it on during the night time. I hear zaps constantly, letting me know that this is working, and it sure did. However, there was a point in time, where it had had less zaps than before, and I knew I had to buy replacement cartridges. It is where the Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridges had made it possible to replenish the attraction of the mosquito to the lamp and before you know it, zap them. These cartridges saved me from getting bitten many times. There are times that I do inevitably still get bitten by them, but nowhere near as much as I had when the Flowtron wasn't around. These are direct replacements of the Mosquito lamp and they work a good amount of time. Lifespan of it varies depending on environment and the placement of the lamp. To hear the satisfying zap one by one just makes me feel at ease that these mosquitos will not stand a chance. Cleaning the Flowtron, is another story. Just because you zap them, their "leftovers" are plastered and stuck onto the lamp, and you have to occasionally you have to clean them or else the attractant will not reach far enough to attract the mosquitoes and the zap wouldn't be efficient.

Working good, love to hear the popping from the bug zapper

It’s always so upsetting to me how every summer since I purchased my zappers , (which one is supposed to cover over an acre and I have two in my court yard ) I spend so much money on the cartridges and I still get eaten alive . Sometimes they attract more bugs that deterring the problem such as Beatles . I find the cartridges on the ground ruined unless I use my own adhesive tape , and they just should be so much better for the hassle and the price . I feel terrible when the geckos get murdered violently by these contraptions, I wish it was the mosquitos . Living in Florida it’s such a terrible problem ,but different times of night and weather have made me think they work sometimes , but seeing the pattern it’s just that ... based on rain and different temperatures rather then the product .I am going to do a major clean on the zappers use brand new cartridges one more time and if anything changes , you will be the first ones to know , but unfortunately this won’t be the first time so I’m not expecting a miracle, although what I wouldn’t do for one . Mosquitos are the worst !

It seems to smell exactly as expected. The construction of the container is good, has several vent holes. Price is good, I just started using it this afternoon and it attracted many black flies during the day when the mosquitos are yet to come out. This is a good sign. I think I will be happy with this attractant and will continue to buy it.

good price . for the 6pk . installed a couple weeks .seems to work

These things get rid of lots and lots of flies. Beware of the smell
