[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.

It's ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this as I've been struggling with depression and when that happens I tend to slack on cleaning. So dishes got left in the sink and bananas sat to long and rotted and we now have fruit flies, a lot of them. I cleaned the kitchen and plugged this in and turned the lights out for the night expecting to see a ton of fruit flies in the morning. Not one! So I decided to move to a different plug in the kitchen and try again...

It's ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have mixed feelings about this product. I like the idea of the product but it's just not for me. I already own a similar product that performs better and is much more aesthetically pleasing. I like the idea that both sides are sticky for catching bugs but I don't like that the front is clear and you can see the dead bugs. Also, peeling off the plastic from both of the sticky sides isn't as easy as it should be. The last issue is that I've had...

Traps Gnats!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I had an issue with roaches, my apartment building was littered with them. I took matters into my own hands and decided to try and rid of them myself. Fortunately I was able to get rid of them but that was before I received the Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap, but the light traps sticky pad and light, drew in the Gnats that I couldn't get rid of. I'm not sure where they came from, because my home is always clean, but I'm so gratef...

Works like a charm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were actually having an issue with fruit flies when this came in...they were driving us crazy. Then this little product came in my Voxbox to try. Within the first day we noticed a decrease in the amount of fruit flies in the house. By the end of the week I don't think I've seen one...and even checked the sticky pad behind the light and caught a few normal flies as well. The pad is behind the light and out of site so you don't have to see the...

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, ...

Caught bugs and is a great nightlight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our light trap has already caught several bugs in it since we put it out and it's a super bright night light which has been great. We put it right by our back door where we get a lot of insects in the house when we let the dog in and out. I'd love to get even more of these for other rooms especially in the summer since so many bugs have been getting in our house. I would definitely recommend this because it looks nice in your home and it's harm...

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...

It works!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy to receive this as I've dealt with some pesky moths and mosquitoes in my kitchen all summer. I like to leave the window cracked and despite having a screen they find their way in. My cats are so over catching them and this was a great solution. So easy to use, just put in the little sticky tab and plug it in. It glows blue and apparently attracts them with light and scent. After a few hours I already saw a few stuck on there, so ...

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

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

Easy to use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical at first! However, it was super easy to set up and started working immediately. We tend to get a lot of fruit flys and moths since our kitchen is right next to our porch. I set it up and plugged it in, woke up this morning and already saw so of the fruit flys trapped! There is no smell and my dogs are not even interested in the device at all. I will definitely be keeping this product long term!

Fly trap
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live on a farm so its normal to have flies and gnats but around this time of year they get bad. Once i received my free gift to try i placed it in ny kitchen and it does wonders catching all the flies and gnats that appear. Ive tried numerousof traps and this one is one of the best so far. I will be buying more of them. The only con i have is it dont hold much weight of bugs/insects!!

Bright Light
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bright blue LED light of Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light Trap is very bright. I can see how this is supposed to attract flying insects. I installed this in my bathroom where the mosquitoes have moved in. After 4 days, I have caught one mosquito while the others have been repelled away from the light. Nothing else, I now have a beautiful LED light for my bathroom! I wouldn't recommend this product as it didn't help solve my flying insect...

Sticky pad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Raid Essentials Flying Insect Light trap for free for my honest review. I like that it is more esthetically pleasing to look at than hanging those fly tapes. I have this by our front door because at night those giant mosquitoes like to sneak in. However, I don't think it works as well because you're limited to the area around the outlet. I've had it in plugged in for a few days and the pad is clean.

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!

WORKS Perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this plugged in for about -two weeks- and caught quite a few little buggers. We have fruit flies or gnats, tiny moths, and I've seen mosquitoes in the house occasionally. I really like the chemical insecticide free option. I don't use any chemical insecticides inside or outside! So this is a great choice for my household. Easy to use and it's working well in the kitchen! Very happy with this insect trap.
