FaicukWS108 Wall Sconce Fly Light Trap for Capturing Flies, Moths, Gnats, Mosquitos and Other Flying Insects - 13"x7.5"x5.5"

Overa all a nice fly trap even if a bit on the pricy side. Mine was in use for about a year and 3 months when the bulb went out. I wasn't in a hurry to replace it though since we were going into winter, and we don't have a need for it then. As Spring approached (this year), I finally bought some new bulbs only to find that along with the bulb being out, the light strip itself (with the electronics to light the bulb) had also failed. While there is supposedly a 2-year warranty on the unit, I haven't had a response yet as to how to file a warranty claim. Luckily, you can currently buy a strip and bulb replacement kit for $20. I am hoping the seller stands by the warranty though.When it was working, it worked very well. The blue glow of the bulb attracted a lot of insects - especially those tiny pesky nats. During the height of our fly season, I was changing glue boards on a weekly basis - so, stock up on those glue boards. The glue boards are a bit on the small side so they do fill up quickly.You have to be careful where you mount the light. Mounting it too close to a door with a window, or a door near a window will attract enough insects from outside such that when you open the door, they'll come flying in - especially the moths.4/27/23 Update: I contacted Faicuk about the premature failure of the light strip. They were very responsive, generally responding within one business day, and after getting the details, quickly shipped me out a replacement unit. Stellar customer service - WOW - Nice to see for a change.

I was pretty excited to get this new weapon. The war I have been fighting this year against the horde of winged demons was beginning to slowly drive me mad. This year in particular has been extremely terrible with flies, and they besieged my home with their filthy, sanity-sucking presence. I had flashbacks of playing one of the original Sims games, where too many flies in a home might trigger a fatal fly-attack event and kill your Sim. Some small part of me kind of feared for my life when I would stir the horde near the trash cans.I had already thinned a lot of them out by the time this arrived, but this is Texas. Texas flies don't give up. They like to hang out in our garage, which is attached to our kitchen. We let dogs in and out frequently from there, so flies have a lot of opportunity to get in.I hooked this baby up, set it up above my trash can in the kitchen, and walked away for just a few minutes. I came back and there was already two losers who had fallen for the trap.Then we lost power from the traditional Texas thunderstorms. The flies got a reprieve.... I didn't think I'd catch many as a result.The power came back on around 2am, and so did the light. By 8am I got up, checked the light, and hallelujah! Several, maybe another 8-10 flies, and some gnats had fallen for the trap already despite it being off half the night.Eager to see how many it catches throughout the day while they are more active.I work in an emergency animal hospital and we have a couple of similar fly lights (different brand and style, but same concept), which is why I went with this myself. Simple design that works. No loud zapping noises (although I kind of wanted a zapper for the satisfaction of hearing them be obliterated, I didn't want to smell of crispy bugs), really easy to install (I used nails for now until I decide if I want to anchor it more permanently somewhere), and the unit looks nice other than the cord dangling down from the wall. I believe it can be directly tied into the electrical lines to avoid this, which I may have done eventually if I can harrass my former-electrician boyfriend into doing it after I decide on a permanent location.All and all, very satisfied with my new fly control. I may buy another one for the flies who venture deeper into the house and get lost in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Flies find this thing irresistible.I live in a dense neighborhood in the south by a pond. Flies are bad every summer, but this year has be horrible. It had gotten so bad this year that there was a constant low drone from the buzzing of the flies. We'd tried everything to get rid of them and couldn't find anything that worked. There was no obvious point of ingress we could locate. Fly paper strips were most effective, but barely made a dent. That's when I found this product.The first day, I just had it propped up on the countertop and plugged in. 24 hours later when I went to mount it, the first glue board was completely full, and there was a noticeable reduction in the number of flies in the house. I mounted the trap above the kitchen window, replaced the glue board, and plugged it in. Now, less than a day later, the second glue board is nearly full, and there are barely any flies left in the house. And it's also catching a bunch of gnats as well that I had barely noticed.Flies will make a beeline for the trap and dive straight in. Some of them will fly down so fast that they make a literal "thud" when they hit the glue board. It obviously works best at night when it's the only light on in the room, but it will even work in a brightly lit room. After I mounted it to the wall and plugged it in, it had caught half a dozen in a well lit room within the 5 minutes it took me to clean my workspace and put away my tools. Something about the UV makes them go crazy.It also makes an effective night light. It dimly casts in the room, giving just enough light to make out objects and shapes.I chose this over similar but lower priced models because unlike the other models, I could actually find replacement glue boards for purchase. It's worth every penny for how well it works, but I still consider it a bit overpriced for what it is. Even with the high price tag, I would gladly pay it again after seeing it in action.
