Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

BAIT! describes two proposed personal aerosol formulas: an original version containing 20.0% 1-octen-3-ol and a higher-strength version containing 30.0%. The page explains that octenol occurs naturally in mushrooms and human breath and is used in some mosquito and biting-fly lures, but it does not provide field-test results. Its stated use cases are patios, backyards, campsites, dusk, and after-dark outdoor activity.
