Using an attractant is very important to the performance of the Terminator. Once mosquitoes sense the carbon dioxide already being emitted from the unit, the Lure then acts as an extra incentive to encourage them into the unit.
Octenol is the key ingredient in each lure, and is designed to mimic the pheromones (sex hormones) we produce, that makes them love us so much.
Each attractant lasts approximately 30 days, or 3-4 weeks, depending on weather conditions.
To use: Peel off the foil lid of the attractant, remove the lid/hat of the Terminator Machine, and place the Lure inside. Replace the lid/hat, and turn the machine on. The smell of the attractant will be drawn down and into the machine by the fan, and out through the purposely built holes around the sides (where the light comes out).

Not that happy with units performance even though yet to reach 8 week settle in period. Catching plenty of moths. Still get hammered when outside in evening. Also enquired re CO2 extra function but told not necessary. Not that helpful.

They improve the effectiveness a lot but are very expensive.

We have had these going for 6 months over the mosquito season. While they captured quite a lot I still have been terribly bitten. Even have screens on doors and windows.

This seems to work well as an attractant, They say Mosquitoes are the deadliest insect globally so getting rid of them is important. I am a great supporter of the Terminator except for its working lifespan when it breaks down. I do get a good annual seaon out of them and with the problems from Mosquitoes I am willing to keep buying this machine.
