Customer Reviews for Flyweb Fly Light

It trapped one fly and a few fruit flies. The others are still flying around the room.

  Expert response:
It is important to note that fly lights do have to compete with other lights in the house and will not trap during the daylight because flying insects will be more attracted to light entering through windows and other sources.  The key to this trap is having it be the only light on at night so there are no other lights to attract the insects.  By morning, all flying insects for the most part would be trapped.

Each year, with the beginning of fruit harvest at our home in the NW, fruit flies arrive in our home. Each year, I suck them up with the vacuum cleaner hose. This year, I decided to try a fly light, and after doing a bit of research, the Flyweb Fly Light seemed like the right match for our kitchen. Alas, it does not fit in our plugs on the kitchen backsplash, it is a tad too long and since the plug on the light is in a fixed position, we could not place it near the offending counters. Perhaps that is why we have only caught one fruit fly and I have had to continue sticking the little buggers with the central vac hose. On the other hand, after two weeks, it has caught a few gnats, one large housefly, and one small moth. Was this worth the purchase price? No. Next year, we will probably try some other light, as the little buggers also seem to be wise to our other traps (vinegar, wine, etc).

I have had no less than 20 flys at a time in the work space where I am trying to use this Fly Light. they buzz all around my head a large portion of the day. I kill over 1 dozen a day or more with a hand swatter. I installed the fly light and it caught only a total of 3 flies in five days.(Left it on in dim light, low light and dark.) Huge disappointment. The reviews I read gave me so much encouragement that it could help my problem but it simply did not work and I am sending it back.

Tried it for 3 nights in a darkened basement loaded with flies. It didn't capture a single fly. What a waste of money.

We have been using the Flyweb Lights for a few weeks now and find it to be USELESS! It has captured about 1-2 fruit flies per unit and the mosquitoes we want to capture will not go near it. It's a glorified night light that's too bright and not worth the money spent. I wish I could get our money back. I have killed more insects with a 99 cent fly swatter than this has done in the weeks it has been in use!

So far I am not impressed with the lights they don't seem strong enough to atract flies even in the dark.

I wish there was an on off switch – – I do not wish to have it on at all times – – had I known that there was no off switch I probably wouldn't have purchased the item. Because the light is rather bright. now, I have to unplug it every time – – it's a nuisance! For the price I paid, the least you could do is have an on/off switch.

What a waste of money. I've had the unit plugged in for over two weeks and only two flies have been caught. Very depressing as the flies are still congregating near and around the unit.

Does not work for Gnats. Refused to take return on a product that was unsatisfactory. Had to call to attempt make return. Although customer service was nice they refused to take return on a product that did not work.

Had high hopes for this but doesn't work. Turned out all other lights and even used some of the fly attractant provided in their sticky trap cylinders But not a fly was caught. Moved it around, closed the blinds, but Stil no flies caught. Don't waste your money

I read all the reviews and then bought this. Set it up exactly as described. Turned off all other lights. Even used some of the attractant that came with the other sticky traps I bought for flies. But did not work. Not a single fly after a week's use. Moved it around. Put it near counters where the flies seemed to be more common, and where they were the next morning. No go. Useless. Don't waste your money.

I would give no stars if possible. The drain flies paid no attention to it. I followed the instructions about no other lighting. and yes I am sure they are drain flies.
