[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It catches all the flies and it looks gross, but worth it. If a light being on all the time would bother you, you might want to put in hidden spot, I have it low and behind a table and still works wonders.

Didn't work well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It didn't work, served more so as a nugget light. I used it when there was a fruit nat issue. Only 2 were caught on it. Not sure the method that attracts the bugs to it but the fruit Nats or flies that got in when opening door weren't drawn to it.

Easy to use and perfect for catching pesky little gnats!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to try out the Raid Essentials Flying Insect Trap, and I must say I am truly impressed. As a receipt of this product from Influencer and Raid for my honest review, I was excited to put it to the test and see if it lived up to its claims. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. One of the standout features of this insect flat trap is its ability to effectively eliminate those annoying flying past without use of...

Great lil device!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who lives in an area prone to flying insects, finding a reliable solution has been a top priority for me. The device is also incredibly easy to set up and use. I appreciated the simplicity of the design, which allowed me to quickly install it in various areas of my home without any hassle. One notable feature of this light trap is that it makes no noise. Unlike some other insect control devices that emit a constant buzzing sound, the...

Looove this trap! Bye bye gnats and moths!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little baby was such a game changer for me these past few weeks! I don't know about, but when Summer comes around all I think about is gnats getting in my house. We had a bad bout of fruit flies and gnats this Summer and it was unbearable! I could not figure out where they were coming from! I cleaned out the garbage disposal, took out the trash, and threw away any old food that was laying around. Nothing worked! I was so excited to receive...

Bright light trap that's pet-safe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is basically the most high-tech flypaper. The Raid Essentials light trap uses blue light to attract flying insects and a card covered in sticky film behind the light to trap them. There are no insecticides or sprays involved that could potentially harm pets, which is a big plus. The light is quite bright, so it wouldn't work in a space like a bedroom at night (it's meant to be left on continuously), but it conveniently doubles as a nightl...

At least it makes a cute night light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this Raid light trap kit from Influenster for my review. It claims to get rid of those pesky flying insects. I get gnats bad during the summer so of course I was willing to give it a try. The kit comes with one light plug in and one sticky trap cartridge. You can also buy cartridge refills for it. So the light plugs in just like a regular night light and gives off a warm blue glow. The cartridge has a sticky trap on both sides and just pops...

NEW Great Buy for Flying Insects. Thanks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This a great little device, good for 14days continous use. It sure helps with flying knats. It has a refill cartridge that is sticky on both side. Remove the plastic film in the direction it shows on the label. (up) Insert the refill and you are ready to plug IN. I put a reminder for me with a sticky to remove on the 14 days. I will monitor the device to see if i may use longer. If you fear to leave at night or dont like to stare at a blue ligh...

Has not caught any bugs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this product as we have had a major fly and fruit fly problem this year. It looks nice plugged in with the blue light, and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, after two weeks it has not caught a single bug. I am killing about 10 fruit flies each day in the kitchen, and I have tried to plug it in in three different kitchen locations. But it has not caught or killed anything. I have seen bugs be attracted to it and fly close or ...

Works great !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We get so many little gnats in our kitchen. I've tried many homemade and store bought traps and nothing works but fly paper and who wants that hanging around ? Not me!! I was so happy to try this light trap. I plugged it in as soon as it came in the mail and by the next morning 90% of what I normally see was gone. My only complaint is that it isn't bigger. I am buying one for my bathroom as well because they come up in the drains there too. Got...

Would not purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster to review. I also personally bought the Zevo brand insect light within the last month. Compared to Zevo, this product does not perform well. This product has a double sided sticky piece that you insert into the plug in. This is a mess and will get all over your hands. I found the having sticky on both sides with this product vs the one side being sticky on the Zevo made no difference. In fact th...

Bug Catcher!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this light trap in exchange for my honest opinion. In Texas, we have lots of critters, especially in the summer months. Flies are especially horrible as are gnats when you have plants indoors like I do. This trap works great and is easy to install. Basically don't have to worry about it except for changing out the sticky trap every few weeks. I honestly prefer the Zevo trap as it's white and only casts a small about of light outwards...

Works for pir biggest problem: mosquitoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live near a golf course and mosquitoes are everywhere. No matter what I do they make their way into the house and inevitably end up biting all of us. My daughter is allergic to mosquitoes and gets the worst reactions when she's bitten. I have kept this plugged in downstairs by the back door to combat the mosquitoes that come in from the back door being opened throughout the day. This light trap caught plenty of them and I'll now be purchasin...

It works!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy to receive this as I've dealt with some pesky moths and mosquitoes in my kitchen all summer. I like to leave the window cracked and despite having a screen they find their way in. My cats are so over catching them and this was a great solution. So easy to use, just put in the little sticky tab and plug it in. It glows blue and apparently attracts them with light and scent. After a few hours I already saw a few stuck on there, so ...

Not as good as I hoped
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In exchange for an honest review. I received this product for free from Influenster and Raid. I had high hopes for this flying insect trap. I always get stubborn flies and gnats in my kitchen during the summertime, since I open my back door to let my dog out a lot. I was hoping this would catch them and rid me of these little pests. It has only caught 2 small gnats in 2 weeks though. Probably would not buy. It is a beautiful blue hue and provid...

It does works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complimentary for my unbiased opinion. I like it. It looks like a nightlight. It doesnt require any maintenance except changing the sticky insert once in a while. It did catch a few little flies or gnats, but I don't particularly have a lot at the moment. I would like to review this when flruit flies or gnats around my plants are plenty. I can see that it works, just not sure how well by only catching 3 tiny flies in a w...

Pet friendly/works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this complimentary from #influenster to test in return for my honest review. I like that this light is non toxic and pet safe. Its easy enough to use just peel a couple things insert into light and let it do its thing. It didnt take long for me to notice the little flies, gnats on it not long after plugging it in. Then once full simply remove trap and replace with a new sticky one. I find it useful and a worth the buy product.

Seems to work well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this in a bathroom where we get a suspicious number of fruit flies (we live in an apartment and the origin of these flies is a mystery). The trap caught several little flies while we were away for a week. We noticed that flies were stuck to both sticky sides of the trap. This design is different from others I have seen on the market (for example, the Zevo trap only has one sticky side). The trap also works as a great nightlight.
