Dynatrap Atrakta Mosquito Lure

These sachets are great and work really well in the DynaTrap. The only problem is that they draw so many mosquitoes and other bugs in that you have to clean out the Dynatrap more often since the tray fills up faster. Great problem to have though…less bugs.

When you open this packet, be ready for a powerful nasty scent, but it truly does work. If that's what we smell like to bugs, it makes me want to shower even more often! It's very simple. You just pop into the bottom portion of your Dynatrap and that's it. You'll be shocked at how quickly it gets covered up in bugs. The only con is that you might want to wear gloves when cleaning it off as you will need to scrap the bugs off this as they do glom on it. My first round, I used my bare hands, and that smell took quite a few washings to get off. I can't tell exactly every bug it's pulling in because there's such a large amount of bugs on it, but it definitely pulls in moths and mosquitoes really well. I've had it 2 weeks so far, and our canopy tent has been bug free since using it. I've placed this about 15 feet away and having to clean it out every 3-4 days. Worth every cent.

Works well. A little pricey but if it help kill the little monsters, it is worth it.

I bought this DynaTrap version instead of the Mosquito Magnet trap version due to cost. This pack is $17.99 and lasts 60 days so the cost per day is .29. The Mosquito Magnet version is a 3 pack for $29.99 and lasts 16 days each and the cost per day is .62. To get it to fit, I folded the packet in to thirds and inserted it in to the opening another reviewer suggested. Don't insert it in to the tube portion that has the suction in that leads to the trap/net. I included a picture for reference. Does this packet work better than the Mosquito Magnet version? Don't know yet. Unless this doesn't work at all, I don't plan on trying the other most expensive version. PSA: Put on gloves before touching this packet. It stinks and the smell get stuck on your fingers. Had to wash them at least three times with hand soap to get the smell off. I don't recommend wandering around in your yard after touching this as there could be residual smells on you that mosquito's smell that you can't! Head indoors after touching!

Doesn't seem to attract any more, or less, mosquitos than using the trap without it. Seems to attract more flies though. This smells pretty bad. Luckily when placed outside, it isn't terrible ... but you do not want this packet sitting next to you on a warm day due to the odor. Our Dynatrap used to be really, really effective at catching mosquitos. For whatever reason, this season it doesn't seem as effective at all. We ordered this lure hoping it would go back to its old effectiveness but its about the same. Overall, given how pricey this little lure is ... I would say to just use the trap without it. We didn't notice much of a difference in mosquito collection. If black flies or garbage flies are an issue, you may get more of them when using this. I hope my honest review after using the product was helpful to you. Were are huge Dynatrap fans ... but just don't see the results of adding this.

Have been using them for years great product

Junk. Absolutely does not work at all for mosquitoes. I have mosquito problems around my house. And I found some more breeding in the drip tray of a large plant. I have insect lamps but it wasn't working fast enough, so I bought this to fix this temporary problem. To be clear, I'm using this INSIDE my house. I took 2 of those Aspectek lamps and sandwiched this bait trap in between them and put it in my living room, to draw them out of my bedroom. After one hour… NO difference. So I walked around the living room waving the bait pack, but it still didn't work. In fact, the same brand lamp I had in my bedroom…which is directly attached to the living room, and without using attractant… was still zapping mosquitoes, which means the mosquitoes in my bedroom didn't even acknowledge this bait pack. The whole point was to keep them in the living room so they wouldn't bother me at night. How can the mosquitoes be more interested in me in my bed, with just my head sticking out, than this stinky bait pack in the next room? Epic fail.

Expensive but very effective. After several days - picture's worth a thousand words.
