Designed for homeowners who prefer a pesticide-free solution, this 3-pack of refills uses a biochemical synthesis to manage stinging insects. The system employs distinct pheromones and kairomones, specifically Heptyl Butyrate and Acetic Acid blends, which are delivered via a dual-chamber mechanism. The top chamber utilizes a solid-state lure while the bottom relies on a liquid attractant, creating a specialized scent profile that avoids attracting beneficial species like honeybees.
Specifications indicate that the refill is intended for a 14-day service life. However, user data suggests that placing the trap in direct afternoon sun can lead to accelerated evaporation of the liquid chamber. To maintain the effectiveness of the scent plume, monitoring the fluid levels during heat waves is a helpful maintenance step. The polymer laminate packaging is designed to keep the ingredients fresh and prevent oxidation before use.
When performing the refill, it is advisable to rinse the plastic mold immediately to remove any sticky residue, which helps keep the station clean and functional for the next cycle. Because this refill is chassis-dependent, it is specifically intended for the multi-chambered Rescue! hardware.
If you are looking for a more long-term supply of these lures to last through the entire summer, the 16-pack value set offers the same chemical profile in a larger quantity.
