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.
