Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap Starter Kit, 1 Plug-In Device + 1 Cartridge, Featuring Light Powered Attraction

It works very well! The light is super bright though so if you stay in a like a small studio you may want to place it somewhere out of your sleeping area. It was easy to install and the size is the size of the whole outlet

Too long/didnt read (TLDR): sticky doesnt really work, light isn't really that attractive, flies if they do come hang on non-sticky parts, survivors (see details) probably leave warning scents near light.Im in an apartment, gaps in doors/windows bc everything in America built for profit, not to last. So I have a bad fly problem bc neighbor smokes, draws them in and they see the light in apartment & come in place.I bought this in an attempt to deal with them. In a week with over three dozen flies it has captured 2, more often than not, they simply land on the non-sticky part. I put it in a very visible area, closed all blinds and doors so that basically the only light in the entire apartment for around 5ish hours at night and a fee hours in the morning is the light on this device.The flies can also get off the sticky if theyre not completely on it, if its one or two legs, theyll get off, never return, and the other flies likely pick up on this behavior or learn (loosely) about it through the basic communication of flies (likely a chemical scent they leave near the light alerting them to leave).Instead I’m going to try mesh screens indoor at all entry points, along with spray to see if that works. Thus far literally killing them myself by hand has worked better in one hour than this light has in a week.UPDATE: STEM fly spray worked wonders. Utterly annihilated every fly in the place within five minutes. They haven’t been back since, they are terrified of the tool I now possess. Not even gonna get mesh screens bc thats how effective it was. AND ITS SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY/PET FRIENDLY!!!

We have three of these light traps in our home to help deal with those tiny gnats that show up in the spring. I have included a picture of the trap in our bathroom…as one picture is worth a thousand words. Last year, every time I walked into the bathroom, I would find one of those gnats on the mirror. This year, they are trapped. We also have the traps in the living room and kitchen. There is no noise, the traps anre easy to use and do exactly what they need to do. The blue light also makes for an effective night light. When the sticky surface gets too full, I will just switch it out for a new one. They make a big difference.

I purchased these Raid light traps because I had a few fruit flys annoying me in my apartment. Of course I read the amazing reviews and based on this being a brand name I thought I would give them a try. I was really happy to start because this trap caught every fruit fly in my apartment, it was 100% effective, plus I really love the soft blue light. Next day I noticed some of the fruit flys had escaped the glueboard, I thought, really? These glueboards cost over $3 EACH and they can't hold a fruit fly trapped for more than 24 hours, so that's the issue I'm having, I will have to find a better glueboard

Pros:—simple!—effective for both small gnats in the kitchen and phorid flies in the bathroom!—doesn't require a ton of monitoring—doesn't require difficult cleaning or a lot of effort to reset—works much better for me than Katchy or yellow sticky cards that I've tried in the pastCons:—a little pricey—very bright, so it may disrupt your sleep if used in a bedroomFinal thoughts:Living in apartments that don't have great ventilation OR gaps sealed up well, we're kind of in the center of the Venn diagram for least ideal conditions for pests. We try hard to keep things as dry and clean as possible, but bugs seem to come out of nowhere. We currently have small problems with gnats in the kitchen and probably phorid flies in the bathroom. So as we are trying to discover the sources of these issues and attacking the root causes, it feels great to knock back the breeding population of these pests to buy more time before a crazy population explosion.My photo is of the trap placed in the kitchen overnight after noticing one or two gnats while I was cooking. Less than 12 hours later, I have a much better idea of the situation, and by looking at the empty trap several feet away in the living room, I can guess that it's a problem that's currently localized to my counter produce or at worst, refrigerator problems.This might not completely solve your problem because the underlying cause of your infestation may require further attention, BUT, this is a really valuable addition to our arsenal in the endless war against flying pests!

At this point I am using it as a night light. He does not attract anything. I put it at my back door because the dog goes in and out. There is no smell or noise so that’s good.it is easy to assemble and plug in. But hasn’t worked for me.

Works as described. Catches all types of flying insects. No noise. Would definitely recommend.
