Does it really catch fruit flies and gnats?

It is built for small flying insects like fruit flies and fungus gnats. The blue UV light and sweet scent draw them onto the sticky cartridge. It is not meant for large flies or mosquitoes.

How often do I change the glue refill?

The blinking indicator light tells you when to rotate the refill. In a heavy gnat season that can mean a swap every few weeks; lighter use lasts longer.

Is it safe around pets and kids?

It uses no chemicals or insecticides, only a glue cartridge and a light. Keep the sticky refills out of reach, since insects and glue can stick to fur and fingers.

No. The unit runs silently, unlike a bug zapper. The only visible sign of operation is the blue glow and the blinking refill indicator.

What comes in the box?

Two white base units and two sweet-scented refills. You plug each unit into a standard outlet near the problem area.

Where should I plug it in?

Place it close to the source: near fruit bowls, sink drains, potted plants or waste bins. Covered porches and bathrooms also work if the outlet is near the insects.

Our take on the Plug in Flying Insect Trap for Fruit Flies & Gnats

This is a two-pack of plug-in indoor traps that use a blue UV light and a sweet-scented glue cartridge to catch fruit flies, gnats and other small flying insects. Each unit runs silently and has a blinking indicator that tells you when to swap the refill. It is chemical-free and works continuously, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms, pantries and covered porches near plants or bins. Against zappers it is quiet and mess-free, but it only handles small flies and the glue refills are a recurring cost.

Each glue cartridge is disposable and has a pull tab, so you can swap it without touching the glue. A blinking indicator light shows when to rotate the sweet refill packs. Place the units near spots where pests gather, such as potted plants, waste bins, sink drains, fruit bowls and compost piles.
