Highly Disappointing

Would Not Recommend

Basically a pretty blue night light. We have dogs and only concretw in our back yard so get a lot of flies despite regular cleaning. Also have fish tanks inside so can’t use speays. This trap looked like a good solution but after a week it has caught only two baby flies and a moth. It is in my kitchen in an open area, they just don’t seem to be attracted to it.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. For best results, place the trap in areas with heavy flying insect activity and keep plugged in 24/7. The b...

Most effective insect trap for flying critters

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot say enough good things about the Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap. It's a safe and effective solution to those little flying pests. Easy to put together, easy to replace, and easy to install!

These work great for the summer no months!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fly trap is a life saver during the summer months here in Tennessee!! They keep all the little gnats away and out of the food and sink. I would definitely recommend these to a friend. Not only do they work great they don't have any nasty chemicals involved and they are a great value for the price.

Yes it works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It worked pretty well. Helped keep the fruit flies away and some mosquitoes also. A little bit on the pricey side, but I'm sure it's worth the money if you live in the south like I do with lots of mosquitoes.

Works for some insects!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works on the increase of knats we have had but as for flies I think its too big for those because they do no stick. Although it has lasted a bit and continues to trap insects.

I would buy again.

Would Recommend

I use this light near my orchids that I just can't seem to keep gnats out of. It by far works better than anything I've ever tried. I've recommended it to anyone who may have a gnat problem. It's the best thing ever!

The best!

Would Recommend

I can't believe how well this works. I have one in the basement & one in the kitchen. Basement really gets filled up & one in the kitchen even has a moth stuck to it. Sad thing where i shop they no longer sell this or the refills.

It's fine I guess

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have this plugged in and I honestly can't tell if it's doing much. We had little bugs here and there before and it's about the same. Nothing ever flies into it but I do think it might work better if we had more insects or more of a problem?

Utter garbage

Had going in the foyer of my house for 3 days, caught nothing, each night I could count over 14 flies that had flowen straight past it, no attraction for flies at all

Don't Waste Your Money!

Would Not Recommend

This is not a cheap product, so I expected more. After months of use - I had only about 3 or 4 fruit flies or mosquitos on the sticky adhesive pad. I bought the Terro Fruit Fly trap (pack of two) for about $5.99 & honestly could not believe the amount of fruit flys that filled the traps. The difference is unbelievable. The Raid name got my attention & I felt this product would be great. Sadly, this product does not live up to the Raid name. If you want an expensive night light this product might...

Plugged in for a week and isn't working

Would Not Recommend

I have little gnat like bugs that fly around inside my house. I was fed up and bought this thinking it would work. I put it in a high traffic area of these fly like creatures and nothing. Not a single bug trapped . Bugs literally fly right by it. Complete waste of money.

I need to buy refills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this, I plugged it up accidentally stuck my finger to it but it works really well. It's a great little light and it's not noticeable that it's a bug trap until you unplug it.

I thought the Raid Light Trap was great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Raid Light Trap was very easy to assemble and install. The light wasn't overly bright but it almost immediately started attracting insects.

Trap flying insects with the ease of a blue night light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This insect trap is easy to set up and use. Literally plug and "play". This is a merge between the sticky fly paper and a night light with the blue light of a fly zapper without the zap. I had a fruit fly problem and this was effective at catching them. I simply plugged it up in my kitchen near the sink and insects fly towards the blue light and get stuck on the sticky blue card. Simply replace the card as needed. I've had mine for several mont...

Easy way to trap little bugs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Make sure you read the instructions and have the sticky side available to catch bugs. I was super impressed by how many bugs it trapped in a few days. So much so that I went and got a refill to catch more. I also like the blue light in our kitchen so if I get water at night I can see but aren't blinded.

Really great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised with how well this has worked! We live in the south where you just can't get rid of bugs, especially in the summer. Now it's winter so the true test will be as it warms up, but it's done great so far to help with any pests that may wander in!

It Works But It's BRIGHT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have a small gnat problem, and this solved it almost immediately! But the one big drawback is how bright the light is. I mean it is BEAMING. I keep mine in my kitchen near the trash can and I can see the glow from my bedroom with the door closed. If you're someone who likes total darkness when you sleep, this could be a big drawback. I was also worried that changing it out would be gross, but you can easily take it out without touchin...

Works really well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We leave it plugged in 24/7 and it catches so many little bugs throughout the month! It took a couple days at first to catch anything, but it totally works after the first day or two.
