Side by Side Comparison of: HOME-OUTDOOR vs Charcoal Companion

Used this instead of bug zapper brand. Works just as well as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at 1/2 the price. It does match the shape or slip into the grooves provided but with the double sided tape can be made to work.

So far so good. I never thought I would buy mosquito "attractant" before. Now I see why. My 1/2 acre flowtron bug zapper is far from the house and has been working all season. It's a blessing everybody should get.

does a great job of attracting mosquitos until it is used up. Then replace it with another. they lasted longer than I anticipated.

Great with the Flowtron. Really attracts the insects!! Please keep the Flowtron at the distance suggested. These attractors really do attract the bugs.

This really helps with the mosquito population around here. Before this, I couldn't even open my backdoor without a bunch flying inside!! You can tell by the photo, that there are tons of mosquitoes mixed in with other bugs.

I'm not sure the bug zapper works at killing Mosquitos without this. Every time I put a new pack on the next day there are like 1000 dead mosquitos under the light...

Combined with an electrostatic device does reduce mosquito count significantly/ Give only 4 stars since there may be something better out there - or at least in the future and occasionally mosquitos still show up.

They work great in the beginning. We kept our insect killer on all day so not sure if this mosquito attractant was affected by that.

Much like my thoughts on the zapper I use this with, these will never be a cure-all. They seem like they do bring in more mosquitos to the area, and those do get zapped, but there's always more. I'm not sure these are worth it or not, though there does seem to be lots of mosquitos caught on the back of the sticky tape of these... So hey, maybe it is working

Saved my live by attracting mosquitoes to the Flowtron and hindering them from eating me alive. Works great.

Haven't used bug zapper without these, so I don't know if they are the reason there's so much zapping going on. Have no way of knowing if it's mosquitoes being zapped, either. So.... no reason to complain about anything.

They work well, everytime I go to refill the propane on my mosquito magnet you get swarmed. Only thing they need to do better is you can smell the scent from them even packaged up. So when they are in my garage I store them in a ziploc bag since they were attracting mosquitos to where I had them stored!

smells like it would work...hasn't perfomed well with the flowtron bug zapper, blame the zapper, will use this in my stinger nosquito

Not sure if the lures are attracting anything more than just having the light from the zapper. Haven't noticed any increase in zaps.

Hard to tell if its working. Still have mosquitos but it could be the location.

The stickie side could be stronger. They tend to fall off the bottom of the bug zapper. Can't be sure if they attract more mosquitoes or not, since they're on the ground instead of up by the zapper.

They seem to work well but I do not like to handle them, even with latex gloves. The warning label is very elaborate and intimidating regarding the toxicity of what is in this product and the harm caused by skin contact. With that in mind, there is also a concern about what fumes are being put off by this considering it requires heat to activate (heat from bug zapper lamp).

They OK. When I attached one of these to my zapper with a plastic tie, it seem to work very well the 1st night. No good during the day. After 1st night, the mosquito suicide seem to die down. Each day after that, seems to get less mosquitoes. Great for June bugs. After 14 days of this, I attached another cartridge leaving the 1st one attached. Wow, The mosquito suicide started up again, after dusk. Again, after about the 3rd night. Less suicides. That's all I can say about these cartridges. In about 14 days, I will replace a 3rd one in place with the 1st one. I will continue to rotate the cartridges in this order. This way seems to work better. The price with Amazon seem to be cheaper then the store. Because they do seem to work somewhat vs nothing at all, I will continue to use them. Without the cartridge, my zapper makes a good yard light. I hope this helps. These cartridges will work with any zapper, but get the plastic ties to attach them. The sticky stick on's are junk

FIRST FEW DAYS SMELL IS AWFUL BUT DOESNT GET MOSQUITOS GETS WHAT EVER IS CLOSE WORTHLESS

Adds modest effectivity to my new Flowtron zapper.

Although they are attached with 2-sided tape, they will not stay stuck! For $5 each, NOT GOOD!! Although I secured them properly, one detached within 3 days. When they stay adhered, they're good - not much good on the ground!!

I opened up two of these and put it in my bug zapper to try to attract mosquitoes. It just doesn't seem to bring in any. And that is very unfortunate because this year there are so many mosquitoes

This is to help draw in mosquitoes and sadly, the mosquitoes are less than interested in the light, even with attractant. Your best option is to remove any pooling water on your property and install bat houses. Bats can eat over 1000 insects per meal. With a bug light, you are just killing off beneficial bugs

These just didn't seem to do the job for attracting mosquitos to my zapper. A few bit me while I was opening the package, but...Also the double-sided tape that they come with to stick them on is SUPER hard to peel the backing from. I ended up using my own double stick tape, which was possible to stick on.I wouldn't buy this again.

Doesn't seem to draw in the mosquito's as advertised. I changed it weekly and saw no difference in performance.

This product does not attract any mosquito's at all. Or maybe not at all for me? I live in a big city, but the beach so I'm not sure if that is why it doesn't work but I was really hoping it would help with the mosquitos especially because these little irritating things love my blood type. :'(

Did not work to help catch mosquitoes in the 1 acre Dynotrap in the CA Santa Cruz Mountains.

I this that the reviews are paid for. This is BS!

Not good at all. I bought one at Walmatt for $5 dollars that is still working. I received this one not working.

The attractant I got with the zapper worked like magic. As soon as I got the replacements and put one in it stopped working. No kidding. I am angry. This is a batch of duds.
