Flowtron MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge 3-Pack — 1660mg Slow-Release, Fits BK-15/BK-40/BK-80

Flowtron MA-1000 is a three-pack of slow-release octenol cartridges designed to boost the insect-catching power of compatible Flowtron bug zappers outdoors.

These cartridges release a measured amount of octenol—an attractant that complements ultraviolet light—to increase the number of mosquitoes and biting insects drawn to Flowtron devices. Each cartridge contains 1660 mg of octenol in a slow-release format, engineered for straightforward insertion into several Flowtron models so you can quickly upgrade an existing zapper without altering its setup.

How does the MA-1000 cartridge improve my existing bug zapper?

The octenol attractant mimics human breath and body odors that many biting insects find appealing, which encourages more insects to approach the zapper’s light source. Used alongside the unit’s UV lamp, the cartridges increase encounter rates so more insects are neutralized by the device’s grid.

• Each cartridge holds 1660 mg of slow-release octenol for steady emission.
• Works together with UV light to raise insect attraction levels.
• Designed for easy, tool-free installation into compatible Flowtron units.

Which Flowtron models are compatible with these cartridges?

The MA-1000 fits a range of Flowtron outdoor models as well as select indoor/outdoor devices, making it a versatile replacement or enhancement option. Check your model number to confirm fit before purchasing; the cartridge is not intended for indoor-only use.

• Compatible with BK-15, BK-40 and BK-80 bug zappers.
• Also fits MC-9000, FLW 15060 and FC-8800 models.
• Use outdoors only; do not install cartridges inside homes or enclosed spaces.

How long does each cartridge last and how should I install it?

Longevity depends on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, but the slow-release formula is built for multi-week performance under typical outdoor use. Installation is straightforward: open the cartridge compartment on your Flowtron unit, slide in the cartridge, and resume normal operation of the device.

• Each cartridge contains a controlled amount of octenol for extended release.
• Simple slide-in installation with no specialized tools required.
• Replace when attraction noticeably declines or per the zapper’s maintenance schedule.

Are there safety or placement considerations I should know about?

These octenol cartridges are formulated for outdoor use only and should never be used inside enclosed living spaces. Position your zapper according to manufacturer guidance—away from food preparation areas and sheltered from heavy rain—to keep the attractant effective and the device functioning properly.

• For outdoor use only; do not use indoors.
• Place zappers at recommended height and away from high-traffic areas.
• Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place until needed.

Who is this for? Flowtron MA-1000 cartridges are suited to homeowners, campground hosts, and property managers who already own compatible Flowtron zappers and want to increase insect capture rates without changing traps or lights. They’re also a convenient option for anyone replacing spent attractant in outdoor units and seeking a simple, plug-and-play enhancement that pairs with the zapper’s existing UV system.
