Zevo Flying Insect Trap for Fruit Flies & Gnats, 4 Bases & 4 Refills

I have tried: Zevo Flying Insect Traps (RECOMMEND this product) Husaco Store 2 Flying Insect Traps & 2 Cartridges - Compatible with ZEVOM364A Refill Katchy Flying Insect Trap Indoor Terro Fruit Fly Traps - (RECOMMEND) I tried several products for my recent gnat/fruit fly/super tiny demons from hell infestation. I really wanted to like some, but basically overall the ZEVO was superior. Thankfully I bought that one initially, but did not realize how severe my infestation got (as I was away from home for abit). Zevo pretty immediately and quickly toned down the flying creatures, and I noticed quickly the trap filling up with more and more. A good week in it was basically all covered up. I ended up getting a total of 4 Zevo traps, in certain areas I knew would fly to at night. Night is very good at getting them. I think it helps having no other lights on either. I will mention I also got Terro fly trap, and they are just lil tiny apple looking containers that you fill with some nasty vinegar mixture. I fill it up just a small amount, because honestly that is enough and I can keep refilling it. One I had to dump because of so many dead bodies and I refilled it up. I put one of those in my fridge just incase. And some near the other traps to try to attract them faster to the Zevo's light of death. The Katchy and offbrand zevo aka Husaco store traps, just basically didn't trap as many.... Like say a week went by and I could count the flies it was a handful. They just weren't as amazing/fast for me. I had such a drastic reduction with 2 Zevo's and now that I got 4 going, I think they might finally be eradicated. (With the Terro assists. I liked putting them by the sinks. ---EDIT --- So. I was wrong. I noticed bugs before I went on another weekend trip and it was declining to a point I thought they were gone and with me being gone they were just able to breed more. This product still worked, But I needed more products for the war against the gnats. To start off. I have pets. And there is water bowl sources, litter boxes. etc. I didn't seem to notice any issues or problems with the litter, thankfully did not need to make any changes there, maybe because I take care of it often enough. Products Used for the battle (Ill write recommended if I loved it) Over a course of 3 days I saw a drastic reduction and 4-5 days I'm having trouble finding any: More refill cartridges for this plug in -> Mistakenly thought the war ended, but these got full and I needed more. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, Dish Soap, Apple Scent, 16oz <- Recommended - good for dishes anyway. I sprayed inside the toilet after every flush. If they tried to breed in it, this stuff traps them and they cant fly or get out and they drown. This how you home make liquid traps, vinegar helps lure them to it. To be honest they didn't seem to care for the toilet, (which is kept shut). But I did this as precaution. Zevo Brand can spray - I stopped using because I needed alot, and it worked great kills on contact but gets used so fast, there is hardly enough in the can. (Recommended Mighty spray below) - also this is really expensive... Mighty Mint Peppermint Oil Insect Repellent Spray – Natural Indoor & Outdoor Bug Control for Spiders, Ants, Roaches, and More – Plant-Based, Extra-Strong Formula - 16 oz -> RECOMMENDED -> This has ALOT of spray. And it doesn't seem to kill IMMEDIATELY but wait 2-3 seconds and yeah, they stop moving. Unless you get a good clean direct close up shot. Was also nice, to spray them on the wall, they would immediately fall off. PLUS you get to one on one gnats and take 'em down right where you see them. I'd go around to windows and doors, and find them there. Pew, pew. Bit satisfying. And smell isn't so bad, but can be strong. In the heat of battle you might be overwhelmed. I'd take a break from the area, get a fan etc. Smell will dissipate eventually/gradually. Sticky traps, the yellow that has a tack and hangs from wall - 40 Pack Fruit Fly Traps for Indoor, Fly Traps Outdoor, Sticky Fly Trap Strips Tape Killer Catcher Paper Ribbon, Flying Insect Trap for Bug, Gnat, Insect, Pest, Mosquito -> RECOMMENDED -> Good passive attack. These are useful in variety of spots. Gnats tend to scale the walls and go up to the ceiling where these bad boys come in handy. I had one just in the wall not ceiling but high up so pets cant get to it. Was collecting quiet a few. TERRO Drain Insect Killer - T590 Drain Fly Killer Spray - Foam Treatment for Fruit Flies, House Flies, and Cockroaches Also Green Gobbler drain killer. -> (recommend) I used the gobbler first, frankly I think both work and wil do the job. But this is a plus that it foams right up (not for long mind you) but I did notice gnats gravitate towards it and immediately die. What you need to do is use this stuff and then PLUG the holes. see below + more info. Aluvor Bathtub Stopper 2pcs Sink Stopper Tub Plug Bathroom Shower Drain Plug Silicone Bathtub Drain Plug Tub Drain Stopper Washbasin Stopper - RECOMMENDED - Now this is why I think I got away with one can of the foam. I didn't really need to reapply, but I did as precaution. For sink, plug the tiny hole with tape, its a backup hole for overflow, most sinks should have it if not you are good. Then use the tiny one for the bathroom sink. And the other one for the tub. I closed off the sink and mostly used the bathroom sink as my main source for washing/cleaning things. I did notice a fly or two come out during this but they seem dazed and was easily able to hand kill them. I'd be ready to spray them down. After I was done and wasn't going to use a drain for awhile I'd foam it up again. So depending on this factor you might want more foam. (I didn't run out of the can yet, so can't say for sure). Either way if it is sealed up you have time to buy more if needed. No product found for kitchen sink drain blocker/stopper -> I had bought one but it didnt actually block. I ended up using a plastic throwaway cup and weighed it down with a can for good measure, pretty sure they don't have ant strength to come and go. And the other sink for disposal I had a sink stopper already which blocked that side completely. I sprayed the foam in both and tried to avoid using the sink. Wondercide - Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors - Fruit Fly Killer - Pet and People Safe - Made in USA & Plant Based - 5.4 oz - 2 Pack -> PLUS has a cover lid on top, pets might knock it over but can't step into it. I would see gnats crawling on top of it quite often. Just checked and imo these did as well as the raid one below. Double for less money I thought it was. And has a cover on it with holes for the bugs to go in. Raid Essentials Fruit Fly Trap for Indoors, Made with Essential Oils, Child and Pet Safe, 5.4 oz -> This worked it was catching ALOT. However my cat, stepped his back foot in it somehow, and it wasn't knocked over. I have no IDEA how this happened but I had to wash his leg off. This DID work well. You could see a layer of gnats forming on the top quickly. - The expensiveness of this mixed with not being great around pets I can't recommend. I DO recommend those terro fruit fly traps that looks like red apples. Those are effective always have been. Thats my standard go to when I notice these usually from bananas. also not to expensive. Trash can with a LID -> I had ONE trash can with a LID so it was closed. I would use to throw stuff away in and took that outside often so they couldn't sneak in and have a party. Hefty actually has one with a GOOD seal. However, I was unable to obtain the item as my local store had it in stock but it was damaged and had a hole on the side of the can.... So I settled for a regular lid that wasn't fully sealed but had a button to open it and I'd just close it after. (Hefty Touch Lid is the name). It was helpful for the cause. I think most have a trash can with a lid but if not it is highly RECOMMENDED. -- WHAT you need to check -- Water sources, bowls etc. Pet bowls of water. pet FOUNTAINS. Need to be cleaned at least 1x every 24 hour period. Personally if I saw them sitting on anything I'd clean that immediately. I never saw them on the pet fountain but when I checked I saw so much in the filter it was gross. I didn't use the fountain at all until after I won the war. (Just too gross and I wouldn't feel comfortable using the same filter, so I opted to not use it at all). Look around for exploded water jugs you may have kept for emergencies. Those explode and leak all the time. Found out the hard way. After taking care of the drains and constant cleaning pet water sources, these guys disappeared. Finally. Bananas are no longer welcome.

It’s a very simple concept and because the sticky side faces the wall, you won’t be looking at the bugs. I’ve found it’s not effective in grabbing mosquitos but works like a charm on gnats. Now there are all sorts of gnats in this world—drain gnats, plant gnats, fruit gnats, etc. I was specifically dealing with gnats around my houseplants and these have solved that.

Well it doesn't get rid of the fly that is buzzing around your head... But overnight it catches flies! I used this last summer and with warm weather coming in April, I've pulled out my units to use again this summer. So I'm impressed with Vevo. And thankfully we don't get lots of flies, but then there are days when there are too many, especially on very hot days. I guess flies like air-conditioning! Lol! ***Just remember that the Vevo trap works best overnight and only when the room is dark, so the light can lure the fly into the trap... And then the pesky thing won't bother you anymore! At 1st I didn't think it was working, but then I checked each trap and it had snared it's prey, so to say. About a week and a half later, I checked them again and here were my findings. - Unit 1 is by our partly glass back door and it caught 2 flies. It's plugged in under our bay window and is about 10 feet from a lamp that stays on all night. ***Vevo says light will possibly deter flies from the catcher. You see, the trap uses an ultra violet light with a cover (for human and pet eye safety), so if you have other light sources then the fly may go to those lights. - Unit 2 is in the kitchen, on an upper plug above an unused counter, that is almost in a corner and is not far from our covered kitchen trash can. This unit had 6 flies! So the darker area and the location being nearer to the trashcan (fly restaurant), lured more flies to it, thus removing the pests from buzzing around me and my family. ***This is way better than fly tape that is nasty and looks disgusting. Plus I don't have to touch the sticky area or the flies in order to dispose of them. That said, I'm waiting until more flies come to their demise before tossing the liner. Unfortunately, the liners are expensive! Admittedly they are on a frame with a holder, which is what makes this sanitary and less icky. So to me, it's worth the price. Plus there are some generic brand refill cartridges available on Amazon if you want to pay a lower price... (Just be careful of which refill you choose and of what shop. Amazon is full of poor quality items, but there are gems among the rubble.) Now these are not decorative, but they are not bad looking either. The soft light they cast onto the wall is kinda nice. Plus I only use these in the summer and they are small enough to put away during the winter, making them cost effective. So what is my verdict? 2 Vevo units, including some refill cartridges and the occasional use of a fly swatter is all I need during the summer to get rid of annoying flies. *** So I highly recommend this product! It gets rid of flies while I sleep, so there are less or all gone the next day. That said, when the back door opens to let our pups in and out, all day long... more flies arrive, so I'm glad Vevo makes such a good product that is simple to use and reliable. So if you have flies buzzing around you and your family, then this product will get rid of them while everyone is sleeping. And clean up is simple and sanitary. Try it! You will enjoy summer better!

These traps work great at attracting and capturing those annoying tiny flying gnats and fruit flies. While not as good at catching the bigger flies, we were surprised at how many gnats were hanging around the house. Getting rid of them has been awesome! But here's a heads-up: The replacement cartridges are a bit expensive (especially considering its just sticky cellophane)! I was able to find non-zevo replacements at nearly half-price that seem to work nearly as well!

Wow! Great job! The flies were driving me crazy and this has really helped! Very easy to use, great fit, solid structure, fits any place you can plug it in! Doubles as a night light.

Just before I got these traps I gave the bathroom sink a real good scrub and I almost cancelled the order thinking I may have solved the problem. I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T DO THAT! I bought the two-pack and put one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen near the sink. The one in the bathroom caught one fly (so maybe all my cleaning helped out?). The one in the kitchen caught 11 flies overnight. Neither one caught any flies during the day. I figured at night the only light source would be those traps and I was right... no distractions (like flying around in front of the TV) - they went right for the traps and got stuck. After I weed out the current batch of flies I'll probably just keep the one in the kitchen going to get the odd fruit-fly, etc.

My husband and I just moved into a very old apartment building over this winter, and as it’s warmed up into spring we’ve realized we have a bad gnat problem here as not everything is sealed as well as it could be. While this doesn’t treat the root problem of course, these trap plug-ins have been game changing as far as managing the flies. Just a few days ago we had them flying in our faces every time we ate, a single dirty dish laying in the sink would attract a hoard and they would swarm around the trash cans. Three days after plugging in the two units we got to start with, we have hardly noticed any at all. This picture shows one of the traps which was placed in the worst problem area after just three days. I was shocked at how well just a little blue light works. I was skeptical at first seeing these online, but they work remarkably well and setting them up took less than a minute. We may end up purchasing another pair for maximum efficiency but so far even just the two we have have worked wonders. If you’re skeptical like I was, do yourself a favor and just hit add to cart.

Had very good success with these! We have a gnat infestation and after the first night, we've already seen a significant number of gnats and flies in the traps. Not totally perfect, but much improved overall.

It will catch some, but majority will be flying around it. Waste of money.

I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and it's a waste of money and electricity. Kitchen area is full of fruit fly and the device was only able to catch 2 flys! From my side it's not recommended and electric zapper was the most helpful device ever used.
