Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip
Some, but not all, mosquito species are attracted to minute quantities of a chemical called octenol
(1-OCTEN-3-OL). Each Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap comes with a Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance
Strip. NOTE: When operating the PREMIER Trap indoors DO NOT USE a Mega-Catch Octenol
Fragrance Strip.
To install or replace the Octenol Fragrance Strip:
1. Ensure the power to your Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap is disconnected.
2. Unlock and remove the Lockable Door.
3. Remove the Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip from its pouch and be careful not to
touch the exposed holes on its surface. Place the strip inside the Trap in the position shown
in figure 7 below. Replace and lock the Door and remove the Key for child safety. Reconnect
power. Wash your hands after this procedure has been completed.
Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips should be effective for up to 30 days depending on weather
conditions. Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips are a consumable item and replacements can
be obtained from your Authorized Distributor.
Note: Octenol can improve the rate of capture of some mosquito species. Other species [e.g. the
Asian Tiger Mosquito], may not be attracted - or even repelled- by octenol. You should determine
what is best in your area by experimenting without the Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip
in place.
ATTENTION: Keep Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strips out of reach of children. Read
directions and Important Safety Instructions carefully before use.
