[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a green house room, so my house i full of irritating gnats. I've got loads of sticky traps assisting me in my losing battle, but it's just something that comes with the territory. I put this in my kitchen and within the first couple hours I caught some unsuspecting flying annoyances. I plan to get a few more to plug in around the main areas because they not only work, but give a beautiful blue ambiance to the room. I love these!

Must have Inconspicuous bug trap!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap for about a week now, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get those pesky bugs under control. The blue light helps to draw the bugs to the trap while the plastic piece behind the light traps the bugs on either side to its sticky surface. We always have fruit on our counters and are currently experiencing a problem with fruit flys so having this light trap is sure a life saver!

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!

Grabs bugs you didn't know you had!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This is amazing. We first plugged it into our office that is located next to our front door, and within 24hrs it had already caught 5 very small flies. We were plant-sitting for a neighbor and one of the plants had fruit flies, so we moved the plug-in into the kitchen and it helped rid us of the fruit flies too! Highly recommend.

I always wanted to try a light trap!
[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.

No more gnats
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were having a gnat problem. I left some fruit on the counter bowl and it got covered by fresh fruit and it took me some days to figure it out I plugged this in and bang. They are all gone. I love how there are no chemicals so I feel safe putting this in the kitchen. I'm hoping it'll also keep the mosquitos away from my back door.

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!

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this for our "plant room" where we have the majority of our indoor plants. We get tiny little bugs all the time and this attracted and trapped them pretty well. It's been up for about two weeks so I'm giving it more time to see if it captures more. But we've noticed fewer little bugs flying around which is what we wanted.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Sleek and quiet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nicely thought out product. Very easy to put together, looks nice almost like a night light. No noise. There is sticky on both sides so if you have insects around it's more likely to get caught. Sanitary in that you just toss the trapper and clip a new one in.

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.

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.

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!

Aesthetic but inefficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this trap plugged in for a week right next to where I keep my fruit. It has caught two fruit flies and a moth so I think it's safe to say this product does not work very well. I still find fruit flies in my kitchen, I would not recommend.

It works!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't think this would work but I was so wrong! I put it in before I went to bed and when I got up there were a lot of insects stuck to it. I didn't think I had that many! It grabs gnats real well. The flies not so much.
