Octenol: A naturally occurring chemical which attracts mosquitoes!
What is it? Octenol occurs naturally as a by-product of plants and some animals that eat a lot of vegetable produce. If carbon dioxide is mixed with octenol, it has been found to be an attractant to several mosquito species. There are other insects such as no-see-um's and biting midges that are also attracted to this scent. It has been proven to be a very effective product, especially for no-see-us.
Octenol is also a pesticide ingredient that is used to attract mosquitoes and biting flies. It does not kill the insects; it only attracts them. It can be used in combination with other products and devices that do kill them once they are successfully attracted to the device. It is important to be aware that non-pest insects are also attracted and destroyed by some of the devices.
Use Octenol to Attract Mosquitoes
If octenol is ingested, there is a possibility for toxicity. It is not, however, harmful in the air to humans, pets, or the environment. It is vitally important that it is kept safely away from children to avoid the possibility of ingesting. Placement of the attractant and device utilized to catch biting insects should be carefully considered. It should be kept safely away from children and pets.
To be most effective in mosquito control, the attractant should be placed between the breeding grounds of the mosquito and the area where the people are located. There are range limits that the attractant will reach and this needs to be considered in the placement of the trap as well.

Research has shown that mosquitoes are NOT attracted to Ultraviolet light ALONE. Octenol is a chemical that attracts mosquitoes and other biting insects. It is contained in human breath and sweat which is what mosquitoes are attracted to. Octenol is used to attract insects in order to kill them in mosquito traps.

Our lures can easily be attached to just about any electronic mosquito trap in order to enhance the traps mosquito killing ratio. If in doubt is our lure can be used, just drop us an e-mail and we will get back to you within twenty-four hours.

Like guided missiles, biting insects have highly developed sensors used for locating their prey. It is these sensors

that allow millions of these insects to attack you and your customers again and again throughout the biting insect

season - This is a war of attrition.

Biting Insects:

• Annoy

• Vector Disease

• Bite

• Destroy Livestock

Background: Mosquitoes

The 3500 known species of Mosquito enjoy near global distribution, occurring in the tropics and temperate

regions, and northwards into the Arctic Circle. They can be found at elevations of 5,500 meters and down mines

to depths of 1250 meters below sea level.

Life Cycle:

In order to reproduce, the female mosquito must feed on a blood meal to obtain the necessary proteins to develop

eggs in her ovaries. A female lays 30-300 eggs in one ovipositor, depending on species. Ovipositors occur every

three days and therefore during a typical life span of 30 days between 300 and 3000 offspring can be produced -

with half of these being females, a small colony can result in a major hazard almost overnight.

The multiplier effect means population levels explode during breeding periods, causing disease and devastation.

However conversely, by destroying one female mosquito using Dragonfly Professional population levels can be

well controlled. Imagine killing 1,000 female mosquitoes in one day - what would be the effects on

future populations?

Mosquitoes, midges, sand flies and other biting insects have sharpened their hunting senses

and developed a highly sensitive sense of smell, to locate their targeted prey:

Biting insects are most responsive to 3 attractants:

CO2 - exhaled by mammals

Octenol - exhaled by mammals

Thermal images - heat from the blood under mammals skin

KEY FACTOR

Each species and sub-species of biting insect is attracted to very precise and different levels of each of these

3 attractants.

Mosquitoes can sense exhaled Carbon dioxide and Octenol from 100 feet / 30 meters

When sensing these two naturally occurring substances biting insects that are looking for a

blood meal immediately change direction and home in on their target.

As the insect approaches its prey thermal receptors allow the insect

to home in and land on its prey. Rather than merely attacking its

prey the insect searches out the most effective place to strike.

Encircling its prey and using a thermal image to locate blood under

the skin's surface, the biting insect targets, lands and bites the

person where its blood is closest to the surface - to get the best

blood meal possible.
