Q: There are two stem devices that look identical to me and have the same box but one is 19.99 and this one is 17.79 what is the difference? They both say they contain the device plus one refill. They have identical product boxes so I’m a bit confused.

  • A: Called Target pricing which you see all the time online and store prices often different. They will adjust at checkout but you have to show them on your phone

    submitted byGatorDoug - 1 year ago

Q: Does it trap silverfish

submitted by Iris - 1 year ago
  • A: Great question! This is intended for gnats, mosquitoes, fruit flies and moths. Take care! – Brooklyn, STEM Consumer Care

    Brand expert
  • A: If the silverfish walks on the glue, then yes. It is merely sticky on plastic.

    submitted by213 - 1 year ago
  • A: It is advertised for flying insects so I assume no.

    submitted byRyan - 1 year ago

Q: Will this help catch clothing moths? They are so hard to get rid of.

submitted by Ash - 1 year ago
  • A: Get Cedar wood blocks. Moths do not like the smell of Cedar.

    submitted byGreat grandma M - 1 year ago
  • A: Great question. STEM Flying Insects Light Trap is a great option for all moths. However, this will only be effective against adult moths. For complete elimination, we recommend a system approach of multiple products. In order to further assist, please give us a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT). We hope to hear from you soon. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Rest assured, we recommend taking a look into our STEM Ants, Roaches & Flies to eliminate those pesky cockroaches!

Q: Are there refills included with this trap?

submitted by Mountain woman - 1 year ago
  • A: I have not purchased it yet but per the picture, it says one device and 1 refill so I assume you are paying for the device and 1 cartridge rather than having to buy the device and get a cartridge.

Honest review, these just simply don’t work. Maybe that’s why they were on clearance, I’ve had it for weeks, it has not caught flies or gnats at all. Meanwhile my saferhome ones have caught many and I’ve even killed some near the light but they just don’t go to it. Maybe it’s specific types I dunno but many are on the saferhome one and nothing on these and I bought 3.

Works for me! I have this plugged in my kitchen and it has caught multiple flies! We hosted the 4th at our home and this did a wonderful job in catching all the flies from the constant opening and closing of our doors. Obviously doesn’t catch 100% of them but came pretty close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, this product didn’t work for me. I used it in a location where there’s lots of mosquito and none were caught. It is very quiet, but very bright so may not be great for intentionally dark bedrooms. Not a product I would purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this plug-in has no chemicals or odor. The light is pretty bright, so I keep this plug-in down in the basement away from where we hang out. This area is not where we get the most flies, but there’s a few flying bugs on the sticky sheet each month I’ve replaced it. For the price, it’s fine to have. However, I wish that it was not so bright. It’s kind of blinding.
