[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hoping this would help with my gnat problem but the was not the case. It did catch the occasional flying bug that would get in when I opened my door. It did have a claiming shade of blue at night with all the lights off. Just wished it attracted the gnats

Only works for gnats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good for gnats. Doesn't work for other flying insects. But other than that it's a pretty good product. I put one in every room of my house. They last for a while too.

Location
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where I have it plugged in at isn't a good spot. Don't get me wrong it works but location is key. I wish I could plug it in closer to where the flies are

The annoying mosquitoes are gone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been dealing with what I swear was the same mosquito for months!!!! Literally. Ok it was probably different mosquitoes lol but when I got this thing I immediately plugged it. Been plugged since. Haven't heard an annoying mosquito since.

It Works!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap really does trap insects flying in your house. We have fruit laying out on the counter in the kitchen so that's where I put the trap. This is where it caught the fruit flies. I was amazed at just how many flies and fruit flies it caught. It really does work. I would have never tried this product but now I'm hooked.

Absolutely love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't m noticed flys or gnats as a problem in my house; however, after only one day, there were five bugs caught in the trap. The light is a faint blue and doubles as our nightlight.

i don't know
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it's easy to set up and plug in to forget about. i've had fruit flies that have flown right past the light to fly right in my face and be annoying. it has caught some but i'm not sure it's completely effective. i'll have to try the zevo trap to compare the two and i'll update my review. at this point i don't think that i would recommend it to anyone just yet.

Works
[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 ...

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...

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...

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...
