Is there any type of attractant for the bugs inside the well?

The wells are coated with some kind of powder to attract and at least disable bed bugs. I have not found any more bugs anywhere else in the room since we found the one and only on the mattress, however we washed everything fabric item (including clothes) in the room . I would recommend inspecting the traps regularly if you find more bugs to see if the traps have captured any. I am going to check the powder coating regularly, and supplement with diatomaceous earth apllied with the Pest Pistol (to get an even coating) also available on Amazon. I think these coasters are a good preventative measure in any bedroom where someone sleeps after traveling. I would also bag the bed and box springs.

no, the only thing that really attracts them is your smell. they just crawl into them trying to get to/off your bed and then get stuck.

Although not an attractant, I out diatamateous (sp) earth in them as an extra barrier.

No, the sleeper is the attractant. The climb up is a monitoring device and a barrier.

They are quite alive when you empty them. I don't suggest spending any extra money on a model with a ziploc or "easy empty" bottom. Mine failed within a week of use and I had to resort to clipping the bag shut on the bottom. Plan on one season, toss, get new ones next year. The attractant works perfectly and instantly, it's unbelievable. I found the best way to dispose of the bugs was to freeze them and then toss them. If you just put them in a bag in your trash alive they will probably find a way out and infest your trashcan.

Only had it a month so don't know about bugs. It rained a few days ago and no water found inside. So far, so good.

No, the attraction smell is very specific to pantry moths. I have had two infestations, used multiple traps in multiple locations and have never caught any other type of moth or insect.

No bait needed, but I caught my mole after baiting with a carrot.I am sure it depends on the vermit.Might take trying a few things.

I couldn't recall whether it has one or two packs of attractant, from the other response I gather it just has one. If the trap works for you you will definitely need to buy additional pheremones as time goes on.

The pourer has an opening to allow the fuild to run back into the bottle rather than down the spout and onto the bottle. It is not 100% sealed so a slight amount to fuild will be present in the recess that catches the drips and odor will come from the inside of the bottle. I'm sure the bugs will come. But, I'm also sure, regardless of what pouring spout you use, the bugs will come. Use a bottle with a tight cap.

I live in a very buggy area right now and so far it really has not attracted extra bugs. But then again it's in close proximity to the cat box. I'll just say I haven't noticed any bugs being attracted to the freshener, but I can't say that's not because the ants were busily wending their way to the glorious attractions of the cat box. We had an ant problem EVERYWHERE in the house, and we just ended up using ant traps, but I don't think the bugs were unduly drawn to the air freshener. We don't have mice, so I can't help you there. Sorry!

No on the bugs. I think they r natural but cant b 100 percent sure. I have used them for years and love them

I would say that the attractant is critical. These things REALLY work. They smell bad, so do not place near your house, entryways, or patios. But, you'll catch hundreds of flies per day!

You must have super rodents or speedy gonzalez then because I've never had that problem. You can test the trap yourself by using a stick/pencil etc. I had problem with bugs eating the peanut butter I put in mine, a roach won't set it off of course.

Not sure about water bugs, but as far as most other in-house pests, it works great. I don't need the "bug guy" anymore.

We live in the south and haven't had a problem with them attracting bugs. We also have them around a water feature and they pose no problem with bugs even near water that we've noticed.

This trap uses a 50 foot power cord and a 20 pound tank of propane to operate. The mosquitoes are attracted to the CO2 emitted from the trap that is created. Octenol or Lurex can be used as a secondary attractant to help increase the catch rate.

This trap does nothing to attract an animal. If an animal if moving through the tunnel and puts upward pressure on the trigger plate then the fingers will close. I have a lot of moles and when a new pile of dirt appears I find the direction of the tunnel that the dirt came from. I then push the dirt back into the tunnel and put the trap just ahead of the dirt over the tunnel. When the mole comes back to push out the dirt it puts pressure on the trigger plate and "ends the day" for the destructive mole. This is the best trap I have found to date.

I have only used the pourer for oil and vinegar. In my experience the pourer does not leak. I have not gotten drops of liquid around the pourer to attract insects.

I don't think this trap necessarily attracts any bugs - I think the insects are trying find a place to hide and they get caught in these traps. If you drop a scent that would attract earwigs in the trap, it might work as an earwig trap.
