We purchased a Mosquito Magnet about three years ago, and it never seemed to do particularly well reducing the number of bites my wife and I received when trying to use our deck or backyard.The Octenol attractant that MM used not only didn't attract the little bloodsuckers infesting our yard, it almost seemed to be repelling them.Our area used to be infested with regular woodland mosquitoes, but in the past few years, the nasty, aggressive Asian Tiger mosquitoes have pretty much entirely replaced our friendly (by comparison) local breed.We would have done just about anything toget rid of the Tiger mosquitoes that were active 24/7 and never seemed to give up, but I don't want to turn my yard into a toxic waste dump of pesticides.
The new Lurex did a decent job of attracting the Tigers to the trap.In fact, the MM was swarming with them after a few hours.Now our problem was that the MM's fan just didn't generate enough suction to entrap much of the swarm.The Tiger mosquitoes were swarming dense enough around the MM that I didn't want to get near it to empty the trap net without wearing a beekeeper's outfit.
So, yes, the Lurex-3 attractant worked exactly as advertised, but as a complete system, I'm still a bit underwhelmed with the MM until they install a fan with a higher CFM rate.

Product Description:
Designed exclusively for use with Mosquito Magnet traps, this biting-insect attractant effectively attracts hard-to-catch species such as the Asian Tiger mosquito that are known to carry diseases such as West Nile virus. The attractant lures mosquitoes closer to the trap where they are more likely to be captured. This is done by the attractant's ability to mimic the scents from human skin that cause some people to be more attractive to mosquitoes than others. Changing the biting-insect attractant every 21 days is recommended for significantly increasing catch rates.
