It doesn’t work that well. Occasionally a gnat or fly will find its way in. But for the most part the little insects are still parading around my house. I don’t recommend this product nor will I buy another one.

Response from Zevo InsectJul 21, 2021
The bugs come marching two by two, Hurrah, Hurrah. The little one stops to tie his shoe....And is stuck on the trap and starts to boo... We're sorry you're not catching as many bugs in the trap as you'd like. The traps work best when they’re in spots that are easily accessible to flying insects. So make sure yours isn't behind furniture, curtains or in other tucked away spots. To make the trap more appealing to bugs, don't place it near other lights at night. Bugs can get distracted and confused by multiple light sources. If we can help you further, give us a call at 866-215-1297. ...And they all go marching into the trap; to meet their end. Boom Boom Boom

Worked great for me
As you can see in the picture I'm attaching it caught many bugs of various sizes. Most are moths, but also a few fruit flies and what I guess are gnats that very small.

      We had so many gnats, didn't catch one
      We had so many gnats, I bought these, didn't catch one single gnat. Placed one in the bathroom where we had the most. None caught. And one in the kitchen near the sink where there were a lot. Again not a single one. Kept every light off at night so it was the only light source. None. Those little apple looking things with the vinegar smelling stuff inside actually caught some and bleach down the drains helped. Not sure how it's possible that in over a week, we didn't catch one, but it's true.

        Hi Pierre, we are sorry to hear about this. Typically when this happens, it is due to the placement of the trap. It is recommended to keep away from windows and place it in a high traffic area. We'd like to learn about your insect needs, so when you have a chance, you can give us a buzz at 800-374-9429 Monday-Friday 9a-6p EST.

            PROOF THIS STUFF WORKS!
            I noticed little bugs flying around my home but too small to catch. This is where Zevo came in! I simply plugged this underneath my kitchen cabinets and so far I caught over 10 bugs within a week. If you have fleas, I believe this can work too. ADVICE: bugs seem to trap best when it's dark and this is the only thing illuminating. Obviously, it tracks their attention.

                Does not work
                I have had the trap plugged in for 5 days above my kitchen sink where the fruit flies are most extreme. The glow is pretty, but has not caught a single insect.

                The Trap is designed to make catching insects a breeze. For the best results, we recommend making sure it's placed in a high traffic area, away from natural light sources, that's easily accessible to flying insects. We'd like to make sure you get the most from your Trap, so when you have a chance, please give us a buzz at 800-374-9429 Monday-Friday 9a-6p EST.
                  Exactly what U want. Killer night light, safe 2 us
                  Just like some food chains had/have in a larger form you can have this wonderful item. When you do have an issue where there is a gnat explosion it can be extremely frustrating. You may not realize that where you see 1 or 2 there are many more or they are definitely breeding. I am just hoping that in the 3 days it has gotten them all. They are gross and will just as quickly drink from your toilet then drink from your glas of water. Have fun trying to kill them without this device. I consider myself excellent when it comes ro killing flying insects, especially with a shirt or towel. Gnats are the exception as they are unpredictable and when you do have the opportunity it's more than likely when you can't take it. I purchased 3 or 4 more units and will include in kitchen and bathrooms upstairs. If you ever turn on a faucet and notice one then, it's because they are in your faucet having as drink. Yuck. We had someone leave some food in a little used half bath. This is the result from the product after 3 days and then today being the 4th. I used it once I noticed only 2 gnats. I knew there had to be more but it was unreal how many. This does not shock or have any smell. Simply light and glue net type thing.

                    The sprays only work if you spray the bugs directly. They do not prevent them from biting, laying eggs, swarming after it dries. You can't spray on clothing, beds, humans, etc. I called the company that suggested that I use the Flying Insect Trap for bird mites. When the birds flew off, I tossed the nest to replace with a fresh nesting area. I was suddenly swarmed with bird mites which instantly became an infestation in my home, biting incessantly. They don't have wings. The trap didn't work on the mites but probably works on other insects (withwwings).

                    I am extremely pleased with this product. Every year around this time we get gnats or flies but since we placed the Zevo trap they have disappeared. We even bought the spray but haven’t needed to use it. It worked within a day.

                    These traps are wonderful on fruit flies. I had purchased another brand and it never caught any. Zevo's trap has caught a lot in a short time!

                    Very easy to set up and it even looks cool. It took about 24 hours before it attracted these pesky fungal gnats we have, but after that, it's loading up on them as well as catching a housefly. If you want a safe and effective flying pest control device, look no further....this is it.

                    Was skeptical at first, but picks up gnats great! Used to have a gnat problem by my plants, haven't seen one in a long time. Took about a month or so. Bought two more.

                      PERFECT!!!
                      I don't know who these people are & what type of insects the 'Flying Insect Trap Starter Kit' is not catching for them but I had model 1 & now I have model 2 & my devices worked & work exeptionally. Gnats & other bugs that were lurking have been caught...I do believe that the trap works best when it is absolutely dark & that is not to say it doesn't catch anything during the day time, it just works best when the insects have one major, bright light to focus on. I also LOVE how environmentally friendly it is.

                      At first I was worried the product wasn’t working but within 2 days I started to see less flies and my zevo plugin started to fill up with all sorts of flying bugs.

                      I picked up this product last week while at the local HD Store. We've had a real bad problem w/gnats this summer. The ZEVO Flying Insect Trap Starter Kit looked like it should do the trick. I placed the item in the downstairs hallway by the front door, since that's where most of the activity was. This was during the day and after a hour or so I felt like I was ripped off. The bugs were still hanging out on the window in the wall across from the zevo device. The next morning I was pleased to see how many bugs it did grab once the house was dark for the night. So it seems the product doesn't work in a well lit room, but does work when it's the only light source in that room. Which makes sense when you think about the technology being deployed. I gave the product 4 stars since when it works, it really does work

                        Only 1 fly
                        After 2 weeks it’s only trapped 1 fly and there is definitely flies in my home. Now oh course I’m not gonna let them fly around forever bc that’s gross but I was expecting a little more especially with the steep price.

                        We never want you to be disappointed, so we're sorry to hear this. It may help to place the trap in a high traffic area. Many flying insects access homes near exterior doors, so if you have an outlet near one of those, it’s usually a good spot. Also, some people use traps in their garage or in a room (like a mud-room) just inside their garage to catch bugs before they enter the house. If this doesn't prove helpful, give us a call at (800) 374-9429 and we'll get more information to find the best way to help.

                        Took over a week to catch a single fly, even though we’ve had plenty available. Caught quite a few fruit flies we didn’t even know existed which was nice but purchased to help sold our fly problem, which it didn’t. The first day, it attracted plenty of spiders and a fly that sat next to it though? ...

                        Our Zevo flying insect trap is designed to attract flying bugs through light and heat. Placement of the trap is very important in the success of capturing those pesky winged foe. Be sure when using our trap, it is in an area where there is no competing lights. This can cause the bugs to be attracted to other light instead of the trap. With that in mind, be sure it is also in a high traffic area and not plugged in behind anything. So that we can help get your trap catching those pesky flies and let our team know more about your experience, please give us a buzz at (800) 374-9429.
