The indoor plug-in fly trap is a highly effective solution for eliminating pesky flies and other small insects from your living space. Users appreciate its ease of use—simply plug it into any standard outlet, and the trap uses UV light to attract and capture insects on a sticky glue board. The design is both discreet and stylish, blending seamlessly with home decor without drawing attention. Quality construction ensures durability, and the replaceable glue boards make maintenance straightforward. While some users note that it may not be sufficient for large infestations, it performs excellently for everyday pest control.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very effective, pet friendly

We've been having an issue with small moths for some reason and I started looked for alternatives that would be effective and not have to worry about with our cats. So far I've been really pleased. After a couple of weeks we're not really seeing any moths. I've already replaced the glue cards once after the first set got pretty well covered with small moths and flies. The light is clearly attracting the insects as they can be seen around the light on the wall before they get stuck.

Note that the light is fairly bright, think something on the order of a pretty bright nightlight, so be aware of that when deciding where to place these. The way the glue card sits near the wall means the cats can't bother it in a low outlet, unlike the catastrophe we had with a cat and flypaper a few years ago. Changing the card is effortless and also easy to check when it needs to be replaced. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basically flypaper with blue light.
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024
The device is quite simple. It plugs into a standard AC socket in your home and it makes a blueish purple light.

Many but not all flying insects tend to like that light spectrum and will gravitate around it. The card attached to the device is essentially one-sided sticky fly paper. Any insect trying to get close to the light will likely walk over the lit up card surface facing the socket and become stuck there and die. The appeal of already dead insects on a card will often attract even more. You occasionally replace the card when it is covered in dead insects or when the sticky material no longer works.

Many bugs could care less about blue light and will 1st go to the tastiest source of food first. Most insects are also attracted to the carbon dioxide you breath out. Also lights nearby that are brighter than this will attract the insect first. These traps work best in a dark room with no other lights and no snacks available to them. If you are providing sources of food or sweaty people or pets or other light distractions, youll find these useless. These will tend to trap those insects curious about the light. Also large flies will sometimes just rip their trapped legs off on the sticky area and fly away to live another day. So depending on your type of flying bugs and their feeding habits, you may or may not catch anything with these.

For me here in AZ, we get tiny little brown gnats that come in the cracks in doorways or dry drains and constantly buzz human faces for that CO2 hit they crave. They are attracted to lights and land all around them. They are so tiny and fast that swatting them is almost impossible. We have ponds within a block or two and so they hatch there and then seek out the lights elsewhere. I can fill one of those hanging fly strips in a month. But those fly strips are ugly and smell bad. I sure wouldnt have a big fly strip where anyone can see the dead bugs or where there is food cooked or consumed. I plugged in one of these devices in my kitchen and one in my bathroom and one in my living room and one in my bedroom.
They work for trapping these tiny annoying gnats. This device serves the same purpose as a fly strip with the added benefit of a light attracting them to it. The ugly dead bug side of the card faces the wall socket. You only see what looks like a night light and white card. You wont likely even notice it in the daytime.

While I don't like having to pay $25 or so for refills, I hate gnats buzzing me more. Usually within an hour of a gnat getting inside, its found its way to the trap. Although I havent tried it, you could probably also stick some sort of dry bait to the card to further entice their interest.

I did deduct 1 star because it isn't foolproof and some flying insect types just dont care if it's there or not and will ignore it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super helpful non toxic for the kitchen
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
This was a really helpful solution when we had an infestation of fruit flies in the kitchen. I’ve used all sorts of other traps with liquids that seem to get everywhere or are toxic and I don’t feel comfortable being in the kitchen. This was super easy and attracted all sorts of pests and bugs in the kitchen. I also kind of like the light that works as a night light for midnight snacks for this pregnant lady. They are nice size and easy to replace. And definitely last for a little while. I didn’t find any issues with smell or other concerns. I bought a pack of replacement and put a new one in every month or so. Super helpful during Florida summer months.
