Much Better than Octonal in Miami Florida

I used both the Octonal and this Lurex3. The Lurex3 works far better in Coconut Grove, Florida.

Definate must for Asian tiger mosquitos

I bought my Mosquito magnet last year with out the lurex and it caught nothing. I changed the location as per the instructions but still nothing. Finally I stumbled on to this poduct while searching for something else and now I won't use the mosquito magnet without it. I use both attractants in my magnet to be on the safe side. It does work, but it takes time to find that right location.I live in The DC area. This lure lets me go out in the back yard again.

It worked without problem

Everyday it catches 50-60 mosquitos (75% regular 25% Asian tiger), Obviously mosquito population is decreased in our back yard because we are not having mosquito bites any more. I am using Lurex3-OD-3 for asian tiger, this attractant is working for other kind of mosquitos as well. Mosquito magnet placement is very important. You have to read the placement explanations very well.

Can't Get it to Work in Florida

I switched from Octenol (which worked) to Lurex about 2 months ago and have not caught a mosquito since. I swabbed the tube where the attractant goes (per tech support), but it still does not work. I think the Mosquito Magnet is junk.

Dont use in Northern US

My 1 star is actually for Amazon.com. I have no idea how this product performs. I guess that if you look at the back of the box, it has a map of the United States and the bottom half uses this product. The top half uses Octenol, a different chemicle. I wish Amazon would have told me this because now I am stuck in New York with a product that will not do me any good. Amazon wants me to pay for return shipping, and will deduct the original "free" shipping charges, all because of their mistake.

1 star for amazon.

Mosquito Magnet Plus is a BIG MINUS

CAN'T WE GIVE A NEGATIVE RATING....ONE STAR IS WAY TOO HIGH A RATING.
After several emails and faxes of diagrams of the house, gazebo, deck and back yard, wind direction and questions, the MM people said that by changing the attractant to the Lurex, we would see results, something that hasn't happened in three years of attempts....and, after over a month
of the new attractant, the mosquitos are still biting, the net is empty and we are several hundred dollars of misspent funds lighter.
The attractant DOES NOT ATTRACT.

Works very well for me

I live in south Louisiana. I have a very large property (10 acres). I bought two Mosquito Magnets to put behind my house where the kids play and our patio is. During the first part of the summer I don't use any attractant at all and the Magnets do a great job catching lots of mosquitos and we rarely get bit. In mid July though we start getting bit again. This time from black mosquitos with white stripes instead of the regular brown mosquitos. These are the tigers. I bought some Lurex3 and suddenly the traps started filling with mosquitos again and we are no longer being bitten. This is our second summer using the Magnets. I think they are great. One thing though, I felt like such a dummy. The Lurex came with no instructions. There was an orange sticker on the side of the tube that said remove to expose holes. I removed the orange sticker thinking I had done what I was told. Turns out I was supposed to remove the semi-clear rubber coating that is wrapped around the tube releasing the goo inside from the many large holes in the tube. I am probably the only moron who did not do it right, but just in case someone else was confused this helps a lot with the thing actually working!!! duh! hehe. I give 4 stars because they did not include verbose instructions for dummies like me.

This product does not work in the Washington, DC area.

I have tried to get this product and the mosquito magnet to work at my home in the Washington, DC area for two years without sucess. The Asian tiger mosquitos fly around the , but are not caught. I am very dissapointed, especially since the mosquit magnet is very expensive, and I have a lot of mosquitos in my yard. I would recommend that you do not purchase this product if you have Asian tiger mosquitos.

Thank you for your time.

Lurex

If you have Asian Tiger Mosquito's, you need to be using LUREX not Octenol. My catch rate is great after changing to Lurex.

Very happy with this product

Mosquitos are still buzzing near me, but they aren't biting anymore.
