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!

    submitted byColdinboston - 1 year ago
  • A: We're sorry to hear our packaging may have been confusing. Know that I have passed this feedback along to my team for you.

Q: Do you see the floes all over on the outside or are they hidden?

submitted by mamalove93 - 26 days ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out! The STEM Flying Insect Light Trap refill cartridge that captures flying insects is tucked behind the base of the device for a more discreet look. 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

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.

Summer + Kids means the doors are going to get left ajar and bugs are going to get in. I bought this a couple of weeks ago to deal with flies and fruit flies. It does NOT work for fruit flies, which are the biggest nuisance! It caught flies just fine, which accounts for the second star, but the fruit flies are not attracted to it. I’m going to have to buy something else to get rid of them.

This is not a good product. I have a similar one from Amazon where the light is behind a white “wall” so the bugs go behind the light. This one has a clear “wall” so bugs hit the front of the wall and not behind it where the blue light is.

Doesn’t work the best- only caught 1 a day but a cup of vinegar with a drop of soap and covered with tin foil with tiny holes in it does way better job. Bonus if you put a sticky trap but the cup. But overall, it does not seem like the gnats are attracted to the light
