What Customers Are Saying

The frosted glass design with blue lighting is widely appreciated for blending seamlessly into home decor while functioning as both an insect trap and soft nightlight.

Very Dissapointed

Would Not Recommend

I have been looking at this product for weeks but due to the cost I hesitated to purchase it. Due to the large amounts of mosquito that we have had recently in South Louisiana and after multiple bug bites I decided to purchase not one but 2 of these. They have been on for a week and have only 1 lonely mosquito on one of them. I am very disappointed in this product and honestly feel they are hugely overpriced so i would definitely recommend saving your money

It works !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Effective. Expensive refills though. It looks nice against the wall and doesn't stand out as an eyesore. I like the blue light. It's strong. Could be a plus if you want it as a nightlight but could also be annoying to those that like to sleep in total darkness.

Better as a nightlight....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. The Raid Flying Insect Light Trap was better used as a nightlight. It did not kill or trap any fruit flies or other insects like it advertised. I would not recommend it for any reason other than a night light.

It works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing and it works. It is cruel though bc insects just stick to it and die bc they cant move. But it has kept the population of tiny biting bugs that sneak in down. We used to be bit a lot in our sleep and ever since using this every day (just plug it in and forget it) we have not been bit overnight in months.

Didn't work that good

Didn't really do anything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this Raid essentials flying insect light trap. First, it's chemical free and pet friendly. Second, it suggests that, it is plugged in standing vertically but what is nice about this, is that the plug-in rotates so if you have a horizontal light socket it will still work. Third, I like the sticky portion of the trap because it is two-sided. Potentially, catching more bugs than a competitors brand insect trap

Truly works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use the zevo plug in traps but i liked these ones so much more. The light wasnt horrifically bright and it not only caught flying insects. There was a couple crawlers stuck to it too.

It doesn't have a smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light tap was a great product it killed insects that were evading my kitchen. The light also was great at being a light on the kitchen at night.

Bye bye bugs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put it in my new kitchen recently and forgot it was there. It's a cute little ambiance light. I checked it today and it has done its job. I didn't see the bugs at first, but they have been caught and camouflaged by the lighting. Nice work Raid

Pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the chance to try the raid essentials flying insect light trap and honestly I didn't have much faith in it. I was ready to hurry up and get it tested so I could get my review done and over with. I was surprised once it was unboxed and plugged in it was doing exactly what it was made to do. Not just a little either but a lot. I was constantly wiping the remnants of the insects it helped to destroy. It definitely proved worth while. I...

It works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have tiny moths and fruit flies with all the fruits and veggies we bring into the house. We have tried lots of things- sticky traps, vinegar traps. This by far was the easiest and most effective way. Make sure you put it in an inconspicuous location because it looks pretty gross- but better than the flies in your face!

Works amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap works great. The light is bright enough to be a nightlight and perfect for attracting bugs. The only problem is the clean up if you don't want to see the dead bugs (like me).

Works!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so easy to use, reveal the sticky part, plug in the light and sit back and wait. I have a small issue with fruit flies and my bananas, this remove all of them. The convenience and use was the best part!

This trap doesn't work. The flies walk right across the adhesive pad. The only way they get caught is if their wings touch the pad and that is rare. Don't waste your money on this thing.

Its discreet design makes it suitable for various spaces, and the plug-in feature ensures continuous protection. The lure's potency in attracting insects coupled with the silent operation makes it a reliable choice for those seeking a hassle-free solution to keep their surroundings bug-free.

Best thing for kitchens

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this bug catcher. It works by using light to attract insects without chemicals. I placed mine in my kitchen area and it caught so many. The trap is a dual-sided card.
