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.

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...

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...

Effective and beautiful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually don't put beautiful and an insect trap together, but this device is actually very pretty on my countertop as you can see by the picture. It's not bulky it's not ugly. In terms of its effectiveness, I am very pleased. Usually I don't have a huge bug infestation problems but occasionally I do get food flies because we consume a lot of fresh fruits and that's been a problem recently so with this, we really eliminated that problem as well...

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...

Nice light, working good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Raid Essentials Insect Light Trap from influenster to try. It was very easy to insert the sticky trap into the light. I like the light. It is in our bathroom and actually provides a nice little nightlight that isn't too bright for the eyes. It is working well. We get gnats in the drains here in the south so it is helpful. I gave it 4 stars because the sticky part is VERY sticky, which is a good thing, but it isn't very well cove...

It does what it says!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been about a week and I am now starting to see a couple flying insects stuck to the trap! The product does do what it's made to do! The blue light also gives a subtle glow to the room it's plugged in at. The only negative I have is that it is quite bulky. It will take up much of your wall outlet. I have it plugged into an extended 3 plug adapter on the top plug of the wall outlet and the width of it takes up 2 of the 3 plugs holes. I do ...

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, ...

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

Buy it now!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Raid in exchange for my honest review. This is the best Raid product on the market! You absolutely need this in your home. It traps mosquitos, gnats, and everything else. You literally forget about it and once you check it you see how it's been working. Very easy to put together and you just plug it in. Simple enough, right?! I highly recommend it and I'll definitely be purchasing more. You ...

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...

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!!

A perfect insect trap that gets the job done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in my camper and let me say it absolutely works. I plugged it in right before we went to bed and low and behold the bext day i had 2 insects on it. Which is in the picture that i have provided. Its very convient and not messy. The package days to leave in 24 hours a day so thats what im doing and its honestly perfect for a camper if you like to camp or etc.

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!

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.

Easy, efficient and works fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This light trap is great if you have fruit flies or any little flying pest. I had some bananas that I wanted to be really ripe to make banana bread with and attracted fruit flies. I plugged the light in and all of them were gone. This is a lot easier than mixing something up and works a lot better. I will definitely keep one of these insect light traps in my home especially during the hotter months.
