STEM Flying Insect Light Trap is an easy, mess-free option for attracting and trapping a variety of flying insects like house flies, fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and moths. Use this discreetly-designed flying insect trap in any indoor room where insects are present, especially around fruit, trash cans, garages and entryways. Enjoy the odor-free, soft blue light technology that traps insects with no chemical insecticides. We crafted our moth and mosquito trap to be people, plant, and pet-friendly* for 24/7 continuous attraction. It’s easy to use and install. Simply remove protective peels, insert the dual-sided adhesive cartridge into the flying insect trap base, plug in to the wall, and position using the customizable 90-degree rotating plug and leave on 24/7. No need to touch any bugs or get your hands sticky. Replace the cartridge every month or when cartridge is full of bugs. This bug trap is compatible with Raid Essentials light trap refills as well. *when used as directed

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use in any room where you see flying insects. For household use only. 1 - Remove the protective peels on both sides of the refill. 2 - Insert the refill into the device base. 3-Plug the trap into a wall socket near common insect hangouts. The trap should be positioned UPRIGHT. When blue light is on, it starts to work. 4. Keep the trap plugged in 24/7. When full, unplug the trap and replace with a new refill. FOR BEST RESULTS: Place traps in areas with heavy flying insect activity and keep plugged in 24/7. Replace cartridge when it’s full of insects.

    Verifiably Useless

    I really wanted these to work, but they simply don’t. I have placed them in areas in my home where there are a lot of flies and fruit flies. All I’ve caught is two gnats. Don’t waste your money.

    Gets the bugs.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this product. It really helped with all the bugs in summer. I like the blue light up feature too. It was easy to replace the for another sticky sheet. It was the perfect size for the wall outlet.

    Well it’s been great for gnats, I haven’t seen anything else attracted to it yet but nice to be gnat free at least.

    Good for gnats but not mosquitoes

    Bought due to the high mosquito activity in the area. Works great at catching other flying bugs but zero mosquitoes were attracted to it. I had to take care of the mosquitoes in the house by smacking them with my hands. If you have gnats issues may work better for those bugs. The light is extremely Bright. I placed it in the living room since it didn't benefit me in the bedroom when trying to catch the evil mosquito after three days of trying.

    Great concept, mediocre practicality.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fly trap starter kit had all the makings of really being something, and although it wasn’t completely worthless, I was disappointed on the efficiency. The light was entirely too bright during the nighttime, and it took a long time to “fill up” the first insert- more time than I have honestly. Still a great concept, I just think it could be improved a little.

    Safe for pets

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] “This STEM Flying Insect Light Trap is a lifesaver! I plugged it in and within the first few hours, I already noticed a huge reduction in flying bugs around the house. It’s quiet, safe for pets, and so easy to use. I love that it doesn’t use harsh chemicals yet still works incredibly well. The soft blue light attracts bugs without being too bright or annoying at night. After a full week of use, my kitchen and living room feel so much more comfortable and bug-free. Truly a must-have for anyone dealing with gnats, flies, or mosquitoes. Highly recommended!”

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I forgot to take a picture of this but it works so well. It’s worth buying and well designed and does not look tacky. No smell at all easy to install.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this next to our fruit bowl to catch any stray fruit flies or bugs that may come in with the fruit and, as you can see, it works! Highly recommend.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these products you can use inside just as simple as plugging them into the outlet. We had a different brand that wasn't very effective but this one seems a lot better to use.

    Effectiveness

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small children who are often bitten by mosquitoes, and the bites are very strong. This product has made life much easier for my children. We have been using it for 2 months, it is quite durable and of excellent quality.

    Stem insect trap

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been having a really bad problem with fruit flies near my son's diaper genie. I put the stem flying insect light trap right above it and wow what a difference. Yaaaaay. Those things were getting so annoying. So happy to find something that finally works. This is a new need always in my house. Atleast for as long as my son is in diapers.

    A Summer Necessity!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little skeptical about this, but right as summer hit the south with all of its humidity, I opened this and it was a game changer. From having fresh fruit on the kitchen table to having cookouts. This has cut down on the fly situation. The kids opening and closing the door, some always manage to creep inside. This is worth buying.

    Great, but easy to mess with if you have littles at home.

    This thing works: The sticky part is pretty exposed. I suggest putting in a high outlet where pet hair and little hands are absent.

    Buyer Beware of Expensive Fake Products!

    Very honestly Reviewing this Product… It DOES NOT WORK AT ALL… Therefore, I have to believe that this company is paying people to use for free & giving FALSE/POSITIVE REVIEWS!!! Now… After a sticky pad fell out of plugged in contraption… A few bugs that were crawling on the floor… actually did stick to the replacement sticky pad! As far as the Devices that have been plugged into the bathroom & kitchen outlets for 2 months… There are NO FLYING BUGS THAT HAVE EVER BEEN ATTRACTED TO EITHER DEVISE… This is an EXPENSIVE & FRAUDULENT/FAULTY PRODUCT!!!
