    I just don’t know

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this product at the beginning of September and I honestly can’t see any difference in the flying insects. It does plug right into my outlet and even has a front cover so the procut doesn’t get touched. It has no odors and gives off a glow of light. I just don’t know if I will continue using this product.

    Amazing insect trap

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great insect light trap it really worked and did its job. I had been dealing for a while with some insects in my pantry that would just not go away I would use a spry but it did nothing and actually made it worst because it the insects spreaded from my pantry to my whole kitchen. But let me tell you within a day of setting it up in my kitchen I noticed a big difference and by the 3rd day it caught most of them. This is an amazing trap I love how it lights up definitely which I’m sure is what attracts the insects overall would definitely recommend!

    pretty good

    I think that these are much better than the zevo traps. the stem traps are double-sided, and the plug-in is sturdier than the z-vo.

    Location, location, location!

    Bought this two years ago and had it plugged in at a kitchen counter height that is also near a sliding glass door going out to the patio. We’re in and out the door with two dogs routinely with the inevitable fly or other bug coming back in with us. Left it in place for close to two weeks with minimal results. I moved it to the front of the house near the front door with much less usage and the tiny gnats and bugs seemed very attracted to the light and sticky trap. I took it down after the weather got cooler and the holidays approached (it ruined the ambiance of the holidays), and pretty much forgot about it. It’s October again and we have unseasonably warm weather that is letting the bugs proliferate once again, so I’ve placed the plug in by the front door once again, with good results. I question whether this little plug in can handle an actual fly. I wish it would catch the occasional fly, but I think I’m stuck with running around with a fly swatter again. Not interested in the larger tabletop corded fan model as I don’t want it sitting on the valuable counter space or a side table. It would be nice if some adaptation to to this plug in light could be made to catch a few flies it it works great in the right location to catch the little guys.

    It’s ok…

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s much sleeker than the other brand; but, after 1 month of use I didn’t see much. Unsure if that’s a good thing for me or not, but I haven’t had to change the refill, which was very easy to replace. I love that it’s double sided, but not ideal for kitchen areas.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great and is easy to set up! It attracts flying insects quickly and keeps my room much more comfortable at night!! Easy to clean just pop the old sticky trap out and put the new one in very strong plastic

    Bad advertising

    I bought my 2nd one and it says with a refill. That's not correct. The box I just bought has one sticky which is the only one in the box. You can't call it a refill unless there's one on the trap.

    Does not attract house flies

    The packaging states house flies. The light has been plugged in for three days but no flies have even gone to the light. The nats have, however. Do not recommend for house flies.

    It works!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of an incentivized campaign. I appreciate how the starter kit came with everything needed to use same day. The assembly was easy. All you have to do is drop one of the blue sticky pads into the kit plug it in and you’re ready to go. As you can see, it does work and gives great coverage. It is silent in noise but the color can be bright when dark at night. This brand also is open on the side. This is only an issue if you have it on a wall that you’re walking into a room. So just be aware if you have company that they may be able to see into the side ( see dead flys) depending on how it is plugged in unlike other brands on the market.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works very well! I appreciate the front cover that hides the collection of bugs. It allows it to be displayed nearly anywhere without looking gross. It does a great job near a back door.

    Will get rid of insects asap

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] as we know during the summer months, insects love to roll around. And I’ve had a mosquito issue in my home for the longest time. This trap, made my life a whole lot easier. I’ve been able to place it in my living room and kitchen due to their being no odor or noise caused by the trap. It has worked wonders and it has also been very durable for the time I’ve used it.

    Great light trap at a great price!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This STEM light trap is great!! It attracts all of the small insects with ease. Set up is very easy. You simply remove the protective film, attached the sticky part and plug in. The blue light is not very bright so it is not disruptive if you are in the same room.
