Use this discreetly-designed flying insect trap in any indoor room where insects are present, especially around fruit, trash cans, garages and entryways.

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.

Got a housefly problem out of nowhere. Ordered this and another famous brand in hopes of getting rid of them. Useless.. It did not catch even one fly. Ended up buying clear window sticky traps which worked way better.

Beeare these will trap geckos
Never again buying these or using them. A gecko got stuck to it and I spent an hour freeing the poor little buddy with olive oil and waiting for it to be able to unstick. Lots of q tips and oil later, thank god the gecko is okay!!! I guess that’s the point of them for bugs but I couldn’t let the poor gecko suffer. So yeah… never again using.

Didn't catch a single gnat. Not even a spec of dust. I'm very happy other people have had luck with this but the gnats in my apartment were not drawn to it in the slightest.

10/10 Must have
This product is amazing! I have small kiddos who constantly leave my doors open in the summer and all sorts of bugs end up in the house. The proof is on the pad with this! It defintely works best at night when all the other lights are off, but you wake up to multiple bugs trapped on the sticky and it feels incredibly successful! Would defintely recommomend and will continue to buy over and over again!
