[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've waited a long time before writing this review. I had some fruit flies and a few flies in my home from the kids constantly opening the door. I thought this was so perfect since the flies like light anyways. But so far after 2 weeks nothing has stuck to it. I've tried in many places in my home but nope. Maybe my flies and fruit flies are too smart for the trap lol

Insect Light Trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I am impressed with this light trap. I like that it is free of chemical insecticides and that it is super easy to plug in to activate. It is also kid and pet friendly. That said, it is pretty sticky so consider where the best place to plug it in would be. Also, the instructions say it lasts for 14 days which may be a pain to remember to replace.

Excellent Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After getting some fruit flies in the house we decided it was time to plug this sucker in and see how it worked. It seems pretty benign and offers a light blue glow and it does the job! Not long after plugging it in we had some yucky little bugs attached to the park sticky trap. We are happy with the results and will buy more refills for our trap!

Catches gnats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put the one recieved in my kitchen I didn't think I had but maybe 1 or 2 gnats but over the last week of having this its caught 22 gnats that I didn't even know I had! I keep my house fairly clean and honestly didn't think I had any maybe just a couple if that! I'll be purchasing the replacement cards for sure!

Waste of time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we live on a small island where flys are a big problem. Everyday when we open our door in mornings about 10 come in. We also just recently got a fruit fly issue.... This trap has caught maybe 3 fruit flys in 2 weeks... Compared to our ugly hanging tube trap with no fancy light that catches 90% of our fly problem.

I was skectical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical but this works really well! We see so many nats and flys due to the kids leaving the doors open! It worked really well. I didn't see any but when I checked, the trap had gotten them! I have plants and sometimes little nats come from the new lands I buy. I can't wait to use these for that.

Glowing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been seeing ads for this all over and was excited to be selected to test one out. I like how soft the light glows without being obnoxious at night. Also I appreciate it being flushed enough against the wall so that it wouldn't get in the way. I only caught a few small moths and was hoping to attract gnats.

Really works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have received this on perfect time , going camping . I like the fact that the light is not crazy bright and no smell . It help me to leave the door of my camper open. Also very convenient size to use it. I would like to make it a bit more durable. Overall good product

Does it's job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this light trap complimentary from Influencer, so far I like it the only thing it's that if you have a light sensibility I wouldn't reccomend it to be put where you sleep because it is very bright at night. I've had it plugged for about a week and it did catch a couple of mosquitoes

This product works but it's bright!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a weird fruit fly problem in my home office. It's only a couple every few weeks but it's super annoying. This trap caught them the first day I installed it. The only caveat is that it's BRIGHT so make sure where you put it is not in your sight line when sleeping.

We needed this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancé and I have been wanting to get something like this as we do experience fruit flies during the hot summer months here in Arizona. We were so excited to try this out and so far we haven't noticed any flies. It's aesthetically pleasing and isn't too bulky, which is nice as well.

Better than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical this thing would work at all. After several home remedy tries I figured we could try it out. WOW! I am shocked it totally works. Only gave 4 stars because it is a bit of an eye sore for some people. I don't mind it though and it's not huge.

Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fly trap works great! My only complaint is that it looks tacky. It is a cheap light with a sticky piece of cardboard that you put behind the light. But again it works and does exactly as it says! I also love that there are no chemicals since I have 2 dogs.
From raid.com
Easy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I plugged this in, and the next day there were lots of little flies stuck to it - so works as advertised! It came at the perfect time as I'm having a bit of a fruit fly infestation: there are still a lot flying around, but hoping this will help over time!
From raid.com
We love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been up for 3 days and you can already see how much it's caught. We never had a huge problem with bugs except the occasional mosquito or gnat but I guess I wasn't seeing them cause this has more than I thought it would after three days! Definitely would buy!

I know it's a bug trap but it's awesome.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've bought my fair share of bug traps especially since it's been over 100° and all bugs are trying to seek out water. This bug llight is actually a beautiful blue color and appealing instead of ugly regular bug traps. It definitely works too. Already had a few bugs on it !!
From raid.com

Bug trap that doesn't look like a bug trap!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Raid light trap looks good, while catching gnats and fruit flies. I love the fact that the sticky part is behind a plastic cover so if guests come over, it's not noticeable that it's an insect trap. I also love that I can't see the bugs unless I look closely.
From raid.com
It definitely works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this set up for almost a week and the fruit flies that seem to never end, have been slowly disappearing from my house. The reason being, because they went to the light lol, literally. They followed the light of this trap and my home is a lot less bugless.
From raid.com
Doesn't work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this thing plugged in for two weeks and absolutely nothing has stuck to it. I've had flies bad in my house, but they just don't seem to be attracted to this light at all. I'm leaving it plugged in in hopes that maybe it will start working with time.
