Safer Home SH502 Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap for Flies, Fruit Flies, Moths, Gnats, and Other Flying Insects – 400 Sq Ft of Protection

I live in the Midwest where gnats are an annoying common occurrence. I saw an ad on television for Zevo bug catchers. So off to the great Amazon I go to research, read reviews, etc. I found this product very similar to the advertisement, read some reviews, and decided due to the low price, id give this product a shot, not expecting very much. Within 24 hours of plugging this in, I was amazed. Multiple gnats caught. The system is easy to set up, has a nice (but not too bright) light to attract bugs. Came with a refill sticky that I have not had to change yet. I only purchased one of these thinking if it worked I would purchase a second for another room in the house, but after putting the first one up, but we haven’t had the need for a second! Highly recommend. Have already shared to my family and friends.

My husband and I have quite the collection of houseplants going on. We recently had a huge unexpected surge of those little brown gnats that hang around plants and pelt you in the face, especially in our bathroom with a south facing window, which doubles as a houseplant retreat when they look like they need a little sunlight infusion. We also have had a smaller, but still annoying, surge in our bedroom, which also has houseplants in it. Yesterday I decided I’d had enough and bought what I originally thought was a totally bougie and unnecessary purchase, these little light traps. Why would I spend almost $30 on two little plugins when there are so many alternatives?
BECAUSE:
-These are nowhere near as hideous and gross looking as regular fly traps. You do not see the flies until you remove them and they are small and sleek looking.
-They attract the bugs with light, so I don’t have to just hope that the bugs wander into the trap.
-They are chemical free which is important to me with an extremely curious toddler in the house. We also tried home remedies like soapy water and apple cider vinegar to no avail, just a stanky vinegary bathroom, these have no smell and actually work.
-They are super easy to install, you just peel the backing off the card, slide it into the unit, plug it in and let it do its thing.
-It’s silent, you’re only aware of it because of the light, which my husband didn’t love, but he doesn’t love gnats pelting him in the face more, so we’ll take it.
-It is super easy to clean and dispose of, it’s not unruly like regular fly traps.
I didn’t want to spend money on this initially and put it off till I couldn’t stand it anymore, I wish I had just bought them earlier. They are amazing.

I’ve seen some complaints about these not treating the root cause of the problem/gnats and flies coming back. Obviously, these won’t kill eggs or prevent other bugs from coming into your house. But blaming the product for that is like buying a treadmill and then complaining that though it did help you exercise and did exactly what it said it would do, it didn’t stop you from overeating your favorite junk foods. This does exactly what it’s supposed to do. These photos are from one night, less than 12 hours, the difference is noticeable in our house. We assumed it would be more effective at night because it’s the only light source attracting the bugs. This may be my favorite purchase of 2024.

My only complaint is that there is some kind of residue on the plug in itself which smears the printed on label, is a bit sticky and left black fingerprints around(last picture). It came off when I washed my hands but this was annoying. This happened before we even touched the sticky paper, so we know it’s an issue with the actual plugin unit. Still worth it to us.

Wow! After my kids had left our back door open for 2 hours on accident and had let in gnats and all kinds of stuff in, I had just gotten the Amazon package, that morning, so I plugged it in, and within half an hour, there were already 10 nats on the sticky pad. This thing really works! You can even tilt the fly trap to the left and to the right in case you have it plugged in in a weird spot. The sticky pad is on the card that you see that is plugged into the top. It’s very easy to get in and out. The light is perfect. It’s not too bright and not to faint. It actually would be a perfect night light, on top of its main job of catching gnats, etc. very great price, I just wish you would have came with more than two of the glue cards. Otherwise, I’m totally impressed! Your product kicks butt!

Llegaron en mal estado las trampas de pegamento; estaban pegadas una con otra

This product works so much better than I expected. It attracts more flying insects than I thought I had in my kitchen. Since I’ve bought this product several of my friends and family have bought it too. Very pleased with the convenience and cleanliness of this product.
