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:

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.
