For house flies: i set up a glad fly strip underneath a regular LED light and I caught almost all of them in one night. I bet I caught 100 of them. The thing I've noticed about fruit flies:: they don't seem to be as attracted to light as house flies are. Edit: was that the only light on in the house? Flying insects will go to the brightest light source. For eg: if you had a streetlight shining through your kitchen window, the bugs will go there, not the trap.

[@TesserId]

Convert it to work with a home-made fly-paper holder. $10 a cartridge is like buying inkjet cartridges. There's so much room for DIY with this.

[@victorfox9623]

Try adding a soda bottle with sugar water with yeast to generate CO2. Attach an airhose to the cap and secure the end next to the light. This will attract the mosquitoes to the trap.

[@TesserId]

@@victorfox9623 I second that!!!

[@-danR]

@@TesserId Yes, there must be lots of better solutions, and Shawn's affiliate-driven thumbs-up for this financially dubious product is frankly suspect.

[@valengreymoon5623]

The refills are as expensive as razor blades. Great concept, but it would be great if the sticky part could be rinsed off and reused, like a lint roller. That Double Zapper they advertise on TV looks like a better deal, since it doesn't need refills. Though I haven't seen a proper review of one yet.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

True, but sadly, that's the idea, ~"you'll be rich if you make a product that only works once" speech to the Razor blade guy.

[@richjageman3976]

Use packaging tape instead.

[@joeschmo622]

I got something similar (see comment elsewhere) and just peel out the "used" paper and "refill" with regular contact paper.

[@-danR]

@@Eduardo_Espinoza I'm just sorry Shawn got himself into this recommendation.

[@valengreymoon5623]

Those 5-bladers ain't cheap. :)

[@rosiebentley3945]

I bought this is an impulse at the store because we've always have an issue with fruit flies on our kitchen. We've had it up for a few months now and it doesn't do much better than what it did in the week in Sean's kitchen. I still keep it up because it works is a brilliant nightlight. The classic string of sticky tape hanging from the kitchen does much better for your fruit flies

[@Stambo59]

Mix apple cider vinegar with water about 50/50 and a little dish soap, in a small cup or glass. Place it near your fruit bowl, fruit flies begone. 🙂

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Fruit flies like to hang out in the ceiling

[@JOELCONLEY]

Fruit flies are not typically attracted to light so that may be why.

[@antraxxslingshots]

i think this kind of light is more attractive for a certain kind of insects. the night active kind. regular flies and fruit flies are not so much into it.

[@deozeo4442]

Referring to "fly paper", I catch myself far more often than any fruit fly. The apple cider vinegar is more effective...well, until I knock the containers over. What a putz! 🐈

[@jfakoggl]

Fill a glass or tin or bowl with water, add a spoon or two of (wine-)vinegar and 3 drops of dish liquid. Fruit flies are attracted by the vinegar, and they dive in to drink it. The dish liquid though detroys the surface tension of the water/vinegar and they cannot stay/walk on the water as they normally are able to, and every fruit fly will drown.

[@2DevilliveD]

I also add cling film to cover and poke several holes with a toothpick; works like a one-way entry and in case there's any escapees

[@MadJackMatthew]

Nothing beats a classic 😊👍

[@HercadosP]

Fruit fly... Not anything else whose diet is not 100% based on rotting fruit

[@Sojournart]

It sounds good in theory, but I have tried it several times, and it is ineffective.

[@trusmedady]

[@msch9442]

Mosquitoes are not attracted by light, but by the heat emitted by humans and animals, carbon dioxide in the air we breathe and substances contained in sweat

[@1ytcommenter]

yes. dedicated co2 traps are the way to get rid of that bloodsuckers.

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Urea.

[@arrowghost]

It's kind of sad that mosquitoes are a different kind of insects, and try to find ways to kill or trap them in an enclosed space is very tough compare to flies. Got any suggestions?

[@Navitas2003]

True, but also they are attracted to tuna. So if you use some tuna juice around there, he could work

[@locouk]

Correct, fruit gives off compounds that attract fruit flys, they too are not attracted by light. If anything, this device will increase the amount of moths and bugs that are attracted by light. It doesn’t have a very big sticky pad so will be ineffective after a short time and prove very expensive to keep buying refills. A blue light electric bar trap is far more effective.

[@hazratmuhazmat8831]

I got a Hoont Bug Zapper Bulb. It is like a small bug zapper that just screws into a socket. It works pretty well and does not require refill stickies. It is also rated indoor/outdoor.

[@hathawaydj1]

Interesting. Try it, Shawn!

[@RatKindler]

I put a standard sticky mouse trap on top of the shade of a table lamp and it worked great at catching house flies.

[@sarge-rf8mq]

Similar concept I have a Dynatrap it works on similar principles but has a small fan that actually pulls the bugs into a basket so no costly refills and mine works quite well. Especially with the chemical attractant with the UV light

[@Walter-wo5sz]

I'd love to see more bug zappers and insect traps on your channel.

[@JohnnieBravo1]

I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of fruit flies, drain flies, house flies, mosquitos, and any other flying insect. I use bird feeders, and I picked up a BIG bag of seed, kept it in my kitchen, and eventually "something" in the seeds hatched and came out, flying around. It drove me nuts trying to figure out where those things were coming from. What I found that worked was a LIBA zapper thingy. It's a UV light, with a charged grid on it (don't touch it, it will light you up.... ask me how I know this). They're like an indoor version of a Bug Zapper for your yard. Got 2 of them in the house, and they work famously. The ZAP going off makes my cat do some really entertaining things too.

[@JOELCONLEY]

[@sminthian]

I'd noticed that most bugs like to go after my phone screen at night. So I just set up an old phone to stay on at night, and put some flypaper in front of it. The flypaper costs 25c per roll, and you only use a half roll at a time. You probably only spend a few dollars a year to keep it going...

[@brianplatt5327]

[@Unisoftsoftware]

hi. Maybe try the Zevo out in the open more. you had it placed underneath the cabinets. We have the same unit works well. By the way instead of buying their expensive replacement cartridges we use inexpensive sticky paper from Catchmaster Fly & Bug Clear Window Fly Traps, just cut them to fit, it's easy.

[@emmettturner9452]

Even when put outside, I wouldn’t call that “loaded.” You get loads more with a fan and screen. I chuckled every time I saw the commercial. Maybe someone should make a version with a fan and screen?

[@pierrecurie]

So you take fan, and blow it at sticky screen?

[@skrimper]

@@pierrecurie lmao I can't tell if that's a joke and it's killing me 😂 thanks

[@bagman234]

That's basically what a dynatrap is. It sucks them in with a fan and traps them in a basket underneath.

[@carbon1255]

Its the fact it caught some mosquitoes. They are notably hard to catch in these traps.

[@arrowghost]

I have many traps for flies, but never a successful mosquito ones due to the lack of ways of using CO2 effectively to lure them and trap them.

[@annana6098]

I've seen a few traps that use sugar water and yeast to generate ÇO2, with a funnel to make it easy to fly in and hard to get out.

[@GodsOHman]

I used this on our vacation last week. Usually there are at least 30 flys in the room. After a week we only saw 2 but the trap caught at least 20.

[@Navitas2003]

If you're good with doing DIY, you could get fly paper and put it over top when it needs replacement. Keep on doing that and you will not have to pay exorbitant amounts for the refills

[@chadb1878]

I was thinking something similar; I have a bunch of sticky mouse traps and going to cut one down to fit after the others run out. We'll see.....

I honestly prefer the bug zappers from several years ago, where you heard the "zap" and watched the little cretins getting their version of "the chair". (Back in the days, my parents had "The Web", and I remember seeing one bug falling from it, still on fire. My childhood was weird.) The last one I bought, you saw the glow, but didn't get the satisfying crackling.

[@carbon1255]

[@iseeyou1312]

These traps are excellent at catching nocturnal insects that use moonlight to navigate, but usually that means they catch very few insects that are actual pests, like flies and blood-sucking mosquito species.

[@David_Quinn1995]

that night light is nice and all but I use a bug zapper for my buddy Lenny who snacks on them all night.

[@calrob300]

Like bug zappers that use UV light, or traps in general, non target species get caught in far greater numbers as Shawn noted. It's especially a shame in the case of the small wasps which help control other insects. This device should therefore probably remain indoors. I agree with another comment that sticky tape in the kitchen works much better.

[@Papa_Izzy]

We have had this for a week. Does great at night if it's the only light source. We have 10 house flies and I can't even count the number of fruit flies. Very happy with the product. I just yesterday got a two pack refill at target for only $6.99

Mosquitos are not attracted to light unless it’s the one and only attractant where you put it. I’ve had various light based traps in my room and the CO2 from my own breathing always pulls them away from the trap itself.

[@Wulfrune]

Shawn, I don't think it'd take too much trouble to recycle a used trap. Cut out the effected area with a small sharp knife or scalpel, then using wide sticky back plastic, simply recover the area with fresh sticky tape, it's worth a try and should save you $10 a pop over there in the states.

Definitely not for a bedroom. It did an okay job at catching the fungus gnats that come in seasonally to my apartment from outside. The previous Zevo model though caught tons of them in comparison to the new one, and to every other store bought and homemade trap I could get. It wasn't as obnoxiously bright either. Discontinued.
