The Spectracide refill is a pesticide-free liquid lure designed for quick activation, often beginning to draw insects within two hours of deployment. It uses a concentrated sugar-based attractant with Heptyl Butyrate, delivered through a micro-perforated sachet that helps control the release of the scent. The easy-pour design is particularly helpful for busy parents, as it minimizes direct skin contact with the attractant during the refill process.
Specifications indicate an effective radius of approximately 20 to 30 feet, though this can be diminished in windy corridors. Thermal stability is an important consideration; in temperatures above 85°F, the liquid may deplete more rapidly than in cooler weather, requiring replenishment every 7 to 10 days. The sachet is sensitive to pressure, so care should be taken during installation to ensure the seal is not prematurely breached.
Features of this refill include:
- Rapid "first-strike" attractant profile.
- Compatibility with standard Spectracide trap hardware.
- Safe for use in proximity to garden produce.
If you find that the liquid in this model evaporates too quickly for your local climate, a pheromone-based solid lure system may offer a more stable alternative in high-heat zones.
