    Gross in a good way

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seeing the bugs, trapped in this stem light trap is very gross. But it is a good way to see how many bugs it can catch. I was so impressed. The only negative is the sticky is very sticky so when you put it on you get a little bit on your fingers and it’s hard to get off.

    Easy pesticide-free flying insect trap

    5 out of 5 stars
    ddrum_2777 - 4 days ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The STEM flying insect trap is an easy to use and pesticide-free option to catch fruit flies and other flying pests. You simply install the sticky trap, remove the paper covering the sticky section, and plug it in. It has a gentle blue light that looks like a nightlight, and you can’t see the bugs because of the frosted face. I’ve included a picture of the trap after about a month-you can see how it’s been able to catch a bunch of fruit flies without me having to do anything. You then toss the sticky card and install a new one. It’s simple, easy, and pesticide free.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant with this at first. Not sure it would really work. I have had it for about a month now and I can report that this is effective. It’s in my bedroom and is keeping the stink bugs and lady bugs at bay and not being a pester to me at night.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fly trap makes catching bugs effortless. I definitely prefer this option versus my usual spraying of bug killer into the air. This is a plug in device that attracts the flying insects in my house and they fly to the light. The bugs get caught and I can throw out and add the replacement when it’s full. It fits tons of tiny bugs like fruit flies that I get when the weather turns warm. I like to use these at home as well as when in my rv at a campground. The device is attractive to look at and takes up little space.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this product worked very well. We have a pest control come quarterly but still get unruly pests every once in a while and I feel like this has helped override what the pest control hasn’t gotten. I’d buy this again depending on how long it lasts.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Literally did nothing. I had some fruit flies in my kitchen and installed this in our outlet and it did nothing to attract them. The sheet itself is sticky but the light doesn’t really serve any purpose. It has no scent, and after a while just seemed like a waste to keep it plugged in. Save your money there are better comparable kits out there that actually work. It’s also more pricy than other brands too. I do not recommend this product unfortunately.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Within a day of plugging it in, I noticed fewer fruit flies around my kitchen. The soft blue light is not too bright, making it easy to use anywhere in the house. I also appreciate that it’s free of harsh chemicals, making it a safer option for homes with kids and pets. The refill cartridges are easy to replace, and the compact design doesn’t take up much space. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with flying insects indoors!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stem Flying Insect Light Fly Trap Starter Kit is an effective and safe solution for controlling flying insects in the home. Its ease of use and non-toxic design make it a great option for families . The UV light may need to be replaced after a certain period, adding to the overall cost.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved these little bug traps for my pesky gnat problem in the spring. These are great because you can just set it and forget it. It’s out of the way so you barely notice it. It’s made really well and seems high quality. It works really well to attract and trap pesky flying bugs of all kinds. They fly right to it and they’re gone. I like that it’s an eco friendly, non chemical way to kill bugs around my home. It feels really safe for my family and pets. The startup kit is a little pricey but you do get extra refills, so it’s a pretty decent value. I love that this brand is coming out with clean bug killers. Once you get the startup kit you just get the replacement pads and you’re good to go. No more fighting bugs.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I caught 3 gnats after the first 2 hours working during early afternoon. It caught more as days progressed. The light is bright enough to be used as a night light for halls (extra bonus) without being obnoxious or bothering. The blue tag is super sticky and on both sides, it works without kneeding any substance, or you chasing a bug, but only with light attracted bugs.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Raid MAX Perimeter Protection Bug Spray is a solid choice for both indoor and outdoor pest control. It works well against ants, roaches, spiders, and mosquitoes, and I really like how easy it is to use. The reusable sprayer is a nice touch, especially for getting into tricky spots. That said, I did run into some issues with the sprayer not working properly partway through. It kills bugs on contact, but the long-term protection can be hit or miss—I found myself needing to reapply it after a few weeks. Overall, it’s a dependable product, just be prepared for the occasional sprayer hiccup and touch-ups.

It works great to remove flys from the house with no inconveniences. I enjoy having this product with the changing seasons and I feel confident there will be less flys in the house this time around.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I initially set up the devices, I waited 24 hours to see if they caught anything. The sticky pads were completely clean. I filed a return request and then packed one up. I moved the other device to a different room, just in the hopes that maybe, MAYBE it'd catch something there. And boy did it. Holy smokes. The other one caught so many flies it looked like the sticky pad had been dipped into a jar of flies (where my Alice in Chains fans at? lol. But seriously...). I cancelled the return request, unpacked the second device and moved it into different room than where I had placed it previously, where it ended up working very well too. Here's some advice if you're not having luck with these: 1) Place the device in a room where it won't be competing with other light sources, especially sunlight. For instance, there're no windows in my bathrooms, neither one gets very much light from any nearby windows, and it is absolutely comical how many flies the devices catch in there. When I initially set them out, they were in my kitchen, which is open to the living room with a large window in it, so they both receive a lot of light for nearly 2/3rds of the day, so these devices did not catch anything there. 2) To really be effective against fruit flies, take away competing temptations such as food and places to lay eggs. And I do mean FORGET the finicky home made vinegar traps that seem to trap only a few, less evolved flies dumb enough to try to land directly on the liquid, and just feeds the rest (who thank you, btw). If it's possible for you, store fruits and veggies that you might typically keep out on your counter or wherever in your fridge until the population has been reduced. If you are able, only throw "dry" trash away in your trash bins (non-food related paper type stuff), and throw "wet" trash such as food discards and wet paper towels into smaller grocery bags (maybe double bag it tho) and place that bag in the refrigerator or freezer, somewhere where it's not coming into contact with food and beverages, until you're ready to put it outside your home to be collected. And if you're wondering what to do for areas that do have competing light sources, personally I use the SafeHome uv type devices and they work very well where the STEM ones don't. Or, get yourself a nice fly swatter, wait for them to congregate on a window or a large white surface during daylight hours and then smack the crap out of 'em. You'll of course need some glass cleaner and newspaper or other wipes to clean the surface afterward, but such is the price of fruit fly war.
