"...The bug zapper is full of all kinds of bugs every night. They are easy to use so why not give them a try. No complaints from me. Thanks" Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the pest control device. Some mention that it does a good job of attracting mosquitoes and other insects, and is an effective method of killing them. However, other customers say that it won't last that long, does not seem to attract that many mosquitoed, and grows weak after sixty days.
"...Overall I would recommend as it really cleared the mosquitoes away from my deck...." Read more
"...I would still recommend these because they do seem to be effective at attracting musquitos toward the light, as when I change the cartrages, I find..." Read more
"...However, no matter how big a cartridge is, it can not last much longer. It is better to buy the cheapest cartridge and replace it more often...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the pest control device. Some mention it's a good value, the best investment ever, and a great buy, while others say it'd be a waste of money.

"...The two sided sticky backings seem to ware out before the cartrage does, and I've many times found them in the grass somewhere near the bug zapper,..." Read more
"I believe the product works. The adhesion needs an additional support as it kept falling out of the bottom location...." Read more
"I think it works, only problem is the sticky glue, it sometimes doesn't grip well. I had to use tape to hold in place...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the smell of the pest control device. They mention that the smell is strong and could last longer than two weeks. Some customers also report that the device has several leaks.
"...I doubt that anyone knows the long term risks of octenol. The smell is noticably noxious, sort of like moth balls, and labeled as dangerous." Read more
"Smells like rotting meat, so maybe mosquitos like it? No way of telling if it works or not, but the bugs sure get zapped a bunch." Read more
"...Well I have no idea if this works, but the smell of these cartridges is horrible even in the UPS Box before we opened it...." Read more
"...It has a sweet, not unpleasant smell which is noticeable when you are near the light...." Read more

But the Octenol does work. It has to - there is nothing else about the Flowtron that would be of any interest to a mosquito. Yet, once a week when I use a small twig to clean off the electrified rails of bug parts, there is no shortage of clearly identifiable mosquitoes fried & stuck to the rails. The makers of Octenol claim that it mimics other scents in human breath that mosquitoes like; the proof of the pudding is stuck in my trap every week, so they made an empirical believer out of me.
Alas it only attracts the night-flying black mosquitoes where we live. I'm grateful for that, which is why I gave it 5 stars. And as final proof we can go out in our yard and on our deck and not be bothered by mosquitoes at night.
The daytime is another story however. We also have the day-flying Tiger mosquitoes around here, and clearly the Octenol is doing nothing for them as they bother us during the day. But the Octenol doesn't claim to attract Tiger mosquitoes which is why I'm not taking off any stars. Lurex is advertized to work on the Tiger mosquitoes; alas Flowtron doesn't sell the Lurex bait in a form factor compatible with their trap.
Nevertheless, I'll take mosquito-free evenings, and be grateful for that.
FYI I change out the Octenol cartridges once a month; that seems to work fine. They have a double-sided piece of sticky tape in each individually wrapped package, which you can use to mount the bait underneath the Flowtron trap.
