[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.

Multipurpose product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this raid essentials light trap for free for my honest review. The directions to set it up were very easy. I placed it in my kitchen as I have had horrible problems with gnats and fruit flies lately. The first night I plugged it in I didn't find anything except a moth. The moth got stuck on the paper but nothing else. I didn't see any improvement with the gnats for about a week. After a week, I checked again and noticed I found more....

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...

Perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this light fly trap! 1) it's super sticky, 2) I love the ambiance the light gives off and 3) it does exactly what it's supposed to! We get gnats really bad here at my house and I have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of them but nothing seems to work. I was at the point that I thought I'd just have to deal with them forever and then I got this! Thank you because now I don't have a gnat problem anymore! We've also found a few flies attached, w...

I like the littl1e night light o1n it its not too bright but illuminating. Its easy to use i really.lioe the outlet plug whereu can turn it either vertical or horizontal as some of the outlets in my house are vert...

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...

It does what it says!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been about a week and I am now starting to see a couple flying insects stuck to the trap! The product does do what it's made to do! The blue light also gives a subtle glow to the room it's plugged in at. The only negative I have is that it is quite bulky. It will take up much of your wall outlet. I have it plugged into an extended 3 plug adapter on the top plug of the wall outlet and the width of it takes up 2 of the 3 plugs holes. I do ...

Helpful little light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had terrible gnats this summer in our kitchen. We plugged this in and within a week it had only caught 2 of them and a moth. Pretty disappointing. We did leave it plugged in for 3 weeks and below it added a vinegar bowl with cling film over the top of it (poke holes in the top). The combo seemed to be more helpful. Within 3 weeks, it caught 10 or more. The bowl caught most of them though in the last week. We still have lingering one or two, ...

It worked for the most part....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So in my video what I was trying to describe is the for one the function being able to turn it to fit any wall outlet... I do like how you can switch it out, it's sticky on both sides... But for being in my room for about 2wks... It did take some time to get rid of the nats... We had nothing in the room that would cause them, for some reason they were just horrible in there... But it did the job I do still see them but not as much

Subtle but does the job .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was overall happy with this product. It was easy to put together and plugs in seamlessly. The light is not super bright where it is overpowering or distracting. I like that there's sticky on both sides of the device. The blue Iight attracts some bugs. It wasn't an overwhelming amount, we are also in the lower bug season, and other times I expected to do more at the peak of spring when more bugs come. Overall, I am happy with it. I would use ...

Atleast got rid of fly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A raid essential flying insect light trap is a device designed to attract and capture flying insects, such as mosquitoes and flies, using ultraviolet light. It's commonly used indoors to reduce the presence of these pests. The UV light attracts the insects towards the trap, where they are then captured on adhesive surface. A fly was bugging us alot in the kitchen and when I put this raid essential light fly trap on, we were surprised that there...

Best for gnats.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this plugged in for two days now and it has done a fairly decent job at capturing gnats and fruit flys but it does not attract nor capture the house flys. It does make a great night light in our kitchen. Just bright enough to make way to the fridge for water. I would definitely purchase, especially at the beginning of summer when the fruit flys are so bad around here but if you're looking for something to get rid of house flys this is...

It works but annoying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light is too bright so I have to keep it in a room where I can close it off I can see that it attached and catches flying insects which is its purpose so that is good But it is so bright I have to keep the bathroom door closed when it is plugged up in there I have an open concept home so the kitchen does not have doors I really need fly control in the kitchen but the light is too bright in there

Looks nice, doesn't attract insects
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the sleek look and the light. However, it doesn't seem to attract insects at all. I have this plugged in in my office which is next to the front door, which is also where I have seen insects (mostly a few flies but an occasional spider.) I plugged it in about a week ago and have seen two flies in my office since then. The trap didn't attract and catch either of them. Maybe this is more suited to different insects.

Perfect for the kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little light trap. Honestly it's not as strong as the other one we purchased earlier in the summer. However, it is perfect for the kitchen. It's compact and definitely helps trap the pesky gnats that have been showing up. Think it would be better if it came with an additional refill but seems like this will last longer than the suggested 2 weeks. I received this product for free from Influenster and Raid in exchange for my hones...

I like it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Texas so it seems like there are bugs EVERYWHERE no matter what you do! I was excited to try this out. I would recommend putting this in your kitchen if you store fruit or veggies on the counter or near a window, if possible. It seems to work well and draw the bugs in and trapping them on the sticky paper. It gives off a good amount of light and doubles as a nightlight. I'd recommend it!

Easy assembly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is designed well and the adhesive part is protected, so you don't accidentally touch it. It's easy to assemble and fairly compact, so it isn't overly obvious. Fortunately, there's not a big flying insect problem where I live, so I've been using it in my garage. It seems to work best when it's dark and the insects are attracted to the light. It's effective in a sense that once the insects land on the adhesive, they are stuck.

It definitely gets the fruit flies/ gnats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started to buy one of these a while back and talked myself out of it because the price and not knowing if it would even work good, It's not because they still fly around my head, but they do attract to it. Seems to be more at night tho. I will definitely be buying refills and probably just a few more plugs to put around the house. I live in the country and these things are a pain.

So cool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gives fly trap a whole new face. I must admit, this is the coolest flying insect trap I've ever owned. If it's got wings it's attracted to this plug in light and it's so easy to clean up and mess free. I love it I'm gonna buy refills for mine for sure and I definitely recommend this product to everyone having issues with gnats or flies or even moths and mosquitoes this thing really does the trick!

Thanks for getting in touch! Because this is an EPA-registered product, it must be used in accordance with the label's directions and only for the bug...
