This trap works by attracting small flying inspects by UV light. When the insects get close to the light a fan inside the trap sucks them in and the airflow pushes them towards the sticky pad at the bottom of the trap. If they manage not to get stuck on the glue pad immediately then they will die from dehydration and fall on to the pad eventually. The instructions recommend replacing the sticky pad about once a month. The trap works best in the dark as it needs to attract the bugs by light, and it is better if there is no competing light source.This trap works for small insects such as fruit flies, knuts, no noseeums, small mosquitoes. It does not work for house flyes, ladybugs, moths, wasps, large mosquitoes.
The trap feels well made, everything fits well, the tap cover closes with a satisfying click.
I installed the trap on December 25, 2019. I opened it up to check progress on January 10, 2020. In the 16 days, the trap caught one insect. Winter is a low insect period where I live as the weather is cold, often below freezing. Overall, I think this 16 days experiment showed that the trap is capable of catching insects. I plan to update this review in the summer when we have a lot more insects and it will be easier to tell how effective the trap is.
