Q: I don't see common house fly listed, yet a common house fly image is on the packaging. Does this work for a regular fly as well?
submitted by Reviewer - 1 year ago
A: I got it for a common house fly problem and went to take it out of the plug disappointed it didn't work and to my surprise there were two flies on it so I left it and ended up catching five!

Q: Do you see the floes all over on the outside or are they hidden?
submitted by mamalove93 - 3 months ago

While the unit isn’t fully enclosed, some bugs may still be visible but allows for easier cartridge removal while maintaining a level of discretion. Have a great day! – Mindi, STEM Consumer Care

I’ve had this plugged in for 4 days and have gotten zero flying insects!! I bought this because of the relatively favorable reviews and wanted something “cleaner” but I will be shopping for something else! I would not recommend this product to anyone!

What a bunch of crushed dreams.
Garbage! I can’t believe this thing has good reviews. Maybe I’ve got the world’s smartest fruit flies because after 3 days of having this blue light going I’ve caught a grand total of 0 fruit flies and it’s not for lack of them around the light. I’m flabbergasted and annoyed and still hosting a fruit fly slumber party in the kitchen.

[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.

Its Okay
I bought this one because it was a bit cheaper. The blue part isn’t connected to the light and is extremely sticky. It sticks on stuff super easily. Has not worked that well, so I went and bought the more expensive one and it has worked wonders compared to this. Mine also had a funny smell being plugged into the wall for couple hours.

Buy the other brand
Doesn't work as well as the other brand. I think because the light is covered by a clear plastic, so they can fly in front of the plastic without getting caught. in the week I have owned both this and the other brand, this one of my caught 6 flies, and the other brand caught at least 30.
