Safer Home Flying Insect Trap, Plug-In Fruit Fly Trap for Indoors, 1-Pack

I found this online at Walmart and decided to get more here. It fills up with flies and fruit flies at our house (yuck), but at least it's working. Bought the big pack of refills.

Rarely do I feel the need to come back and review a product after several months, but this one is an exception. I bought this specifically for our camper since there is never a shortage of flying pests that manage their way inside. We have used it for 2 weekends of camping and in between camping we use it in our house near our fruit bowl to keep fruit flies down. In our 30 foot camper it kept bugs completely at bay and in our house it has significantly cut down on gnats/fruit flies/etc. we purchased the product in June and now at the end of July we are close to replacing the first backing. I like that it’s non-toxic, easy to install anywhere there’s an outlet, and also provides a very small light that doubles as a night light for us!

I know how helpful pictures are for believability, so I’ll attach one! Don’t judge me, I had no idea what these were for the first couples of weeks. So yes they overran my house for a bit. But that is no longer! We are now free from the clutches of these nasty little 💩’s. I recently moved to Florida, and never in my life had I experienced so many (what I thought were gnats - I’m still unsure what the hell they actually are 😂). For the life of me I couldn’t figure out where the swarms of these pesky little things were coming from. I am originally from up north, where the only things that resemble them that we get are fruit flies. I couldn’t figure out why they were everywhere when none of my fruit was rotten or even remotely bad. Until I did some googling and found out these little demons are called Drain Flies. They live and breed in your drain, lay eggs and come out in SWARMS. I tried every remedy to kill them off. I cleaned my drains, I poured all kinds of chemicals down there. I googled every which way to kill their eggs, catch them. Tried the whole apple cider vinegar, water and soap trick. Where the apple cider vinegar is supposed to attract them, and the surface tension of the soap is supposed to get them stuck and they sink into the water below….noooope! Nothing worked. I’d still see them flying all over the place in my peripheral vision, and to top it off I now had a nasty little vinegar cup hidden in my corner smelling like dooky. I, like every other rational person, ran to Amazon for a solution. And I found LOTS of them. My first go to was going to be that light and fan thing, where the light attracts them and the fan supposedly sucks them in to their demise. I really didn’t care which one I purchased, as long as it worked. I saw the reviews and pictures of this one and figured I’d give it a go, and if this one didn’t work, I’d try the other one I mentioned. Day 1, the first few hours, it caught absolutely nothing. And I thought “greaaat. This thing isn’t going to catch anything and I’m gong to have to deal with this pests for another few days while I wait on another order” Day 2. I woke up, not expecting to find anything, and lo and behold, there were 10-15 flies on it. My prayers had been answered! Day 3. Not going to lie, I forgot I had it plugged in Day 4. I checked again, and this is what I found. The picture attached. Absolutely gross 🤢. Don’t ask, I have no idea how all these nasty little creatures lived in my sink without my knowledge. I must just be that blissfully unaware. I thought I only had a few…clearly I was wrong I’m on like Day 10 now. I waited awhile because I wanted to make sure it continued to work before posting this review. I haven’t seen another fly / gnat besides in the trap, since Day 4, nearly a week ago. Not one. However, the trap is still lit up, and still as sticky as it was on day 1. There is a faint blue glow, it’s a pretty pleasant. It’s just like a night light. It makes 0 noise whatsoever. It’s SO easy to remove and replace the sticky pad. You pull the stick piece up out of the part that attaches into the wall, and slide a new one in. So simple, yet so effective. If you’ve had these nasty little critters flying around your home for far too long now, try it. You won’t regret it. If it doesn’t work in the first spot you put it, move it around. These things supposedly come out of the drains, yet for some reason it catches far more in my bedroom outside the bathroom. So find what works for you. Also, it turns sideways if need be. So if you have a sideways plug, you can still plug it in and swivel it so it’s face up! I hope this review helps some of you choose this, and rid your life of these nasty little buggers!!

Quiet, Effective Indoor Fly & Gnat Control! hiJrg“LARGE” ggvlv“LARGE”. Also a safe night light 💡 Living in Florida with backyard chickens and a home that sees its share of fruit flies, gnats, and the occasional moth, I’m always looking for safe, non-chemical ways to keep the indoors bug-free — especially around the kitchen and near my mother’s room. The Safer Home Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap (SH502) has been a fantastic addition! Setup & Design Super easy right out of the box. It’s a compact, white plug-in unit that blends nicely into any outlet (looks a bit like a night light). Comes with glue cards already included — just peel the protective film, insert the sticky card, and plug it in. No tools, no mess, and it starts working immediately with its UV LED light. Performance This little trap really pulls in the flying pests. The UV light attracts fruit flies, gnats, house flies, and small moths, and they get stuck on the StickyTech glue card. I placed one in the kitchen and another in a high-traffic area, and within hours I started seeing results. It runs 24/7 quietly with no zapping noise or chemical odors — perfect for indoor use around pets and family. The glue cards hold a surprising number of bugs before needing replacement, and extras are easy to order. It covers a decent area (claimed up to 400 sq ft per unit), and I’ve noticed a big drop in random buzzing insects. Great for those pesky fruit flies that show up near produce or the sink. Pros: • Chemical-free and pet/child-friendly • Very discreet and quiet operation • Effective UV attraction for multiple flying insects • Easy to install and maintain (just swap glue cards) • Doubles as a soft night light • No mess compared to sprays or traditional traps Cons: • Glue cards eventually fill up and need replacing (but that’s expected) • Best for small-to-medium flying insects; larger flies may take longer • Needs to be placed near outlets where bugs are active This Safer Home trap is now a staple in my house for keeping things sanitary without harsh chemicals — especially valuable with backyard birds and a multi-generational home. If you’re dealing with indoor flying pests, this is a reliable, low-effort solution I’d buy again without hesitation. Highly recommend for kitchens, pantries, or any indoor space! Perfect for Amazon Vine reviewers or anyone wanting discreet, family-safe insect control.

We love these insect traps! We struggled with gnats and flies & couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. I tried homemade remedies because I didn’t want to spray a bunch of toxic chemicals in my kitchen. These work amazing & I love the blue light. It gives a nice ambiance and doubles as a night light. Super simple setup & thoughtfully packaged to where the sticky side stays sticky in route

This plug‑in insect trap is a great little device. It’s super easy to assemble — you just pop in the sticky pad and plug it in. It’s been effective at catching gnats, flies, and no‑see‑ums, which makes it really useful in a Southern climate. I haven’t seen it attract mosquitoes, though, even though we have tons of them here. It seems the light just doesn’t appeal to them the same way. The trap uses sticky pads and gives off a blue illumination, which actually looks pretty cool and adds a nice aesthetic touch. I’ve had several of these, and they typically last about six months before the light stops illuminating, and once the light goes out, it no longer attracts bugs.

These units just work! They are a easy to install, make no sound, last so far for months and are their size allows them to be installed anyway. They have a rotating socket which offers a versatile mount to fie most electrical sockets. Most importantly, they CATCH everything! Mosquitos, flies, gnats and tiny bugs I had never seen until captured by this system. No smell. This is a great value!

My roommate left the door open for an extended period and left food in the kitchen sink drain while I was on vacation, so surprise, surprise-- we got flies. We also got ants, but that's a different story. Well, I plugged two of these in around the home, and they do work. They smell faintly of vinegar (I think?) and there is a low, purple light by the trap. The sticky part was easy to install, and I have yet to need to replace the trap after a few weeks... but that's also a bit of a problem. It did definitely catch some flies, but it is no panacea for your pest problems. I am still swatting at the small flies near the sink and around the apartment-- though there are considerably fewer of them. It does fit the outlet fine as well without blocking extra outlets, which is always nice.

Si funciona y es duradero

We recently had a fly infestation - this thing is magic. So gross (I’ll save you the pic) but it ended up trapping 16 flies on one cartridge. Well worth the money!

Excelente producto me encantó, si cumple con mis expectativas compré 2 pero tuve que regalar uno, voy a pedir otro porque si hace su función el aparato. En cuando el empaque todo llegó muy bien.

It works, not as good as I had hoped but it is catching some of the fruit flies. Might be the location!
