I don’t know what other people’s expectations were, but I expected to see dead bugs on the glue traps. I’ve now used these in 2 homes in 2 different areas of the country (cold %26 dry vs hot %26 humid), and they work the same in both places: they trap bugs on the glue, where they die. I’ve gone through all of the refills they’ve come with multiple times, with them all being covered in things like fruit flies, moths, houseflies, mosquitoes, gnats, etc. THEY WORK! When the traps get full, I change them out. No problem. If they’re full, bugs avoid them. They’re great in kitchens and bathrooms. I’m now testing them in other rooms. Hopefully, they work just as well in those. Refills beyond what comes in the box are no problem, either, they just come from a different store. *I’d have included photos of all the dead bugs on mine, but I literally just changed out the boards last night. Sorry…

This works amazing. Going to buy a few more next trip to Sams while on sale. Had a fruit fly invasion and it's taking care of the issue. Just gotta love spring/summer in the south...

works very we'll inclusive if is not in plug

Love these traps! They work very well as you can see

Seems to be good at catching fruit flies and knats, but not 1 real house fly has been caught. Have not tried the main competitor's system yet. Bought this because of price and number of refills included. Have only been using for a few weeks thus far.

This works great! Easy to use and the bugs are drawn to it and don't go anywhere else! 5 Refills too!

Does not work as expected.

Save your money doesn’t work

Waste of money. They don’t work. The flies fly right past it.

We really struggle with fruit flies in the summer and so I plugged this in before we left for vacation as well as using apple cider vinegar with dish soap. I came home to an infestation of the little buggers. There were dozens dead in the apple cider vinegar, concoction, and a whopping three on the glue pad to this stem light trap. I have tried it in different locations in my kitchen and have managed to only catch two more with this thing. This was a huge waste of money. I do not recommend. You are better off, putting a bug zapper in your kitchen.
