What the product is and who it is for
The Flowtron MA-1000 is an octenol mosquito attractant cartridge designed to work with compatible mosquito control devices. It releases a scent that mimics human breath to draw mosquitoes toward the trap. Homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts use it to reduce biting insect populations around patios, decks and gardens. The transparent cartridge lets you see the remaining attractant at a glance.
What this replaces or upgrades
This cartridge replaces an exhausted octenol lure in an existing Flowtron trap or similar device that accepts the MA-1000 form factor. The upgrade is worthwhile when catch rates drop noticeably or the previous cartridge has reached the end of its effective life. Swapping in a fresh unit restores the attractant plume without tools or technical skill. Buyers who need a different attractant chemistry or a longer-lasting formulation will not be served by this specific cartridge.
Practical limits of the standard
The attractant relies on passive diffusion, so its effective range is limited by airflow and ambient conditions; calm evenings yield the best draw. Octenol degrades over time, requiring periodic replacement to maintain potency. The cartridge is a consumable, not a standalone trap, and must be paired with a powered trapping unit that provides the capture mechanism. Orders below 75 units ship under standard terms, while quantities of 500 or more are non-returnable.

Questions about this item
Does the MA-1000 cartridge fit inside my existing Flowtron mosquito trap housing?
The cartridge is designed for Flowtron traps that accept an octenol lure cartridge; check your trap’s manual for the correct lure compartment.
How do I install the cartridge, and what step do people often miss?
Open the trap’s lure compartment, insert the cartridge with the transparent side facing up, and close the latch — many forget to remove the protective seal before closing.
When will the cartridge need replacing?
Replace the cartridge when the octenol scent is no longer detectable or mosquito catch rates decline, as the lure gradually loses potency over time.
