I have bought a house moved in and by the third day we had flea bites. I have no pets so new it had to be the house had it sprayed twice which got rid of most of them but still have a few. I saw mixed reviews but thought I would try it as tried everything else. Wow it’s working a treat with in an hour it caught several, this was after I had sprayed the house twice. 48hrs later and there are loads. I am actually going to buy more. You do need to be careful when constructing them as they are quite light and easy to break, comes with extra sticky pads. Be careful with the sticky pads as they are very sticky.
Simple to put together set up in minutes,
Had mine on floor 30min and got 3 over night it filled up nicely,
Got 2 and easy to move round so really useful to put in different spots to identify where the little buggers are,
Really happy with the product so big
I read these reviews and wasn’t 100% sure but wanted to try them anyway and I’m so glad I did! They’re absolutely brilliant little things. We had stray cats & kittens we were fostering who brought fleas into the house and it’s been so difficult to the bottom of where they were and what not. These little traps have been so helpful in pointing out where they were the worst and showing us when we had managed to get them under control. They don’t get burning hot, as they’re mimicking body heat, so they’re as easy to pick up as your pet. Just leave them in a spot, preferably somewhere that’s a cold empty room overnight and if the fleas have nowhere else to go, they absolutely will jump in these. Easy to change the sticky paper and the lightbulbs.
I’ve tried everything from bombs to sprays to tablets and spot ons nothing seemed to help these catch the flea so with spot on and these works wonders thank you !!
I’ve got two cat’s that love to drive me up the wall with fleas it none stop !
I’ve got one in there path to the window and one ner there bedding works a treat always traps them it actually works it’s no gimmick
Best best best flea killer… Im in love with this product…!!! Killed 90 fleas in 4 days. Amazing don’t waste money on sprays etc useless buy this product honestly its just the bes
Purchased these to help with a small infestation. Flimsy to assemble and the circular discs get stuck to your fingers. However, the fleas are stuck once they venture onto them, attracted by the light. The bulbs don’t last long and are easily knocked over- then they won’t work. It’s quite shocking to see how many fleas can be caught on a nightly basis. I’d recommend these traps despite their faults. You might have to move the traps to a different position to maximum effect.
I was sceptical, but bloody hell, trap really works, obviously you still have to use a good flea treatment on your pet, but any you miss when hovering up this trap will get
Fantastic
Arrived same day delivery and even though we have a house cat seem to have an infestation of fleas,mainly in out bedroom which is strange as the cat doesn’t come upstairs, been bitten whilst sleeping all week and was keeping us awake,used these last night with spray and other products and worlds a treat,put under the bed and must have been 40 to 50 little gits on there this morning.
Great stuff
I’ve been struggling with fleas on my dogs for a while and inst impossible to break that cycle! So I brought one of these to see if it helps and it does! It catches so many and my dogs are a lot happier without all the fleas jumping on them constantly.
Definitely would recommend this! I tried one and now I have one in most rooms of the house!
I’m including an unboxing and assembly video so you can try before you buy. I liked that this came with 2 units, used warmer 15 watt bulbs and includes 12 cartridges of sticky paper. It was easy to assemble – took 3 minutes. I will update if we catch anything or have any interesting facts to add after the first day of use.
I have only just bought these so my review is within the 1st few days of receiving it. I put one under my bed and one in the lounge where the 4 kittens mostly spend there time. I have attached a video for you to see for yourself. I woke up this morning and had a check under my bed. There is only one bug/flea (and one poor not guilty moth #sadface). You can see the biting blood sucking bug stuck to the sticky floor liner struggling to move. I must have less bugs than I thought if only 1 has been caught ? But we shall see what the rest of the week produces.
After trying foggers and other supposed remedies over a long period of time, this has been the solution we were seeking. No chemicals involved here, just a little heat and sticky paper. Caught a surprising amount of the little critters so quickly. Only drawback is the bulbs did not last long and had to source and replace after quite a short time.
I bought these for the home and in particular my daughters bedroom where she was plagued by them.
By simply leaving on overnight and all day with the blinds down we caught three in that short time and after a couple of days pretty much we are flea free and have been put away in case they are needed again.
I put these under my 3 dogs raised beds to monitor flea problem after getting an infestation. Didn’t use with a lamp or anything. Found fleas on them so they work but as the sprays /spot on treatments worked we found less and less on the sticky pads.
This product is great if you do have a problem with fleas I would definitely get this product and also a fleas treatment for your cat. Worked well got rid of the problem much better than using smoke bombs as they didn’t work!
Delivery dates for these traps was a little confusing. They were advertised as next day delivery but when they were purchased (late December) their tracking docket said delivery would be mid January. I nearly cancelled but I’m glad I didn’t because they arrived four days after the order and are an excellent product. I’ve placed them where our pooch spends most of her time. When I realized she had fleas, she had two courses of flea drops, a flea shampoo bath, a trip to the vet and all her hair chopped off. All of her bedding was washed at a high temperature however when I put out the traps, they started catching fleas within a couple of days. They catch one or two per day, I guess these are eggs that survived the clean out and are slowly hatching as per the flea cycle. It gives me great peace of mind that these are mopping up the late hatchers and I would definitely recommend them for this purpose.
I would like to say Thank you to the seller for these traps I took a stray cat in got him treated but before I could blink my house was covered in mainly upstairs bedrooms and landing area tried spraying and hoovering but they were obviously hiding in hard to reach area these traps on the first night caught mainly adults next day babies not seen any adults on the sticky pads day 3 and none jumping on my legs I will say if you want to catch them wait until night time turn main lights off and plug this in they love the light I am going to carry on using these for a week might even buy 2 more it saves you money on the sprays
These work brilliantly but being’s they are old filament bulbs they are not working for long . Only had mine a week and 3 out of 4 bulbs have blown already. Am asking dealer to send replacements. But arrived on time wrapped well generally happy.
Sceptical at first but so desperate to get rid of the fleas that have decided to move in our home. Really easy to assemble and plug into the mains so no batteries needed, only started using them last night and already have 20 fleas on one light and 22 on the other, so they definitely work, going to be ordering some more for the other rooms in the house. Highly recommended
Despite having a very efficient Bengal cat, who is an excellent hunter (he’s only allowed in the house and barn, otherwise there wouldn’t be any wildlife left) we currently have mice in the house, and, as a consequence, a bit of a flea alert. When we first moved into this house, over 20 years ago, it was absolutely infested, so we had these then, and they are quietly doing their job just as well as they did back then. The unexpected bonus is that they are also catching wool moths. That was a bit of serendipity that I wasn’t expecting.
As with some of the other reviews one bulb only lasted about an hour but I bought a better one from Homebase and now it works and lasts fine. Put it in the right place and leave it on for an extended period and you’ll get all the little critters hiding there stuck to it. Great addition to the flea catching arsenal.
Good value for money, packed flat. Sticky enough to work well. The only minor down side was that if using in another well know make of trap, which they are the right diameter for, it is necessary to cut out 4 notches to fit round the top supports – not a major problem as a small pair of scissors does the job well. The minor effort is well worth the saving.
Traps fleas, and other insects, as well as any other make of sticky pads would.
easy to assemble, work really well. plenty of replacement pads. very happy with these and ordered another 2, would recommend to anyone to get rid of those unwanted fleas……….
i have 4 of these dotted around the house and they do an excellent job. One even caught a mouse (it was relocated to bushes and in good health) . Can be a bit fiddly to assemble and the bulbs don’t last too long but that is expected as on most of the time and do get bashed about a bit.
Catches all the bugs, spiders, moths etc, attracted by the heat/light of the lamp.
Leave it on overnight and in the morning you can guarantee you will see a new addition to the sticky pad.
These flea trap are good quality easy to use and very sticky .
They are just one use as if you try to leave 2 nights one sticker it won’t be strong enough to catch anything more than 1 night
They are expensive too.
Thought these would probably not work very well but was overjoyed to find how fantastic they were after a long battle with fleas I can honestly say we are now winning the battle thanks to these . We placed them all over the house including under the sofa and they safely caught every flea about ,sadly also a small spider .they are safe and easy to use .
Bought these to help with the flea infestation in my home. Really helped reduce the infestation within a month along with sprays, steam cleaner and of course cat treatment. For amateur use if you have the time to graft and no money for pest control! Easy to assemble and easy to change lightbulb/sticky pads. I recommended this product to a friend who bought it and also was very pleased.
So impressed. Attracts the fleas and keeps them until they die. I have 4 cats and fleas in the home were quite a problem until I purchased these and hardly see any fleas at all now.
These traps do work and are relatively simple to use. They definitely attract fleas and of course any other insect which is slightly less appealing. You do need one in every room though to be fully effective.
It is a bit stiff and does feel flimsy when connecting it all up. The sticky pads don’t feel as sticky as expected, and I did drop once flea onto it just for it to escape with a lucky jump.
But as you can see from the photo, it has been working very well in general.
Update: both bulbs blew within 2 months. Would definitely recommend buying spare halogen (LED doesn’t give enough heat, Filament blow easily) bulbs at the same time.
Prior to using these discs . I was using a big brand .name as advertised which proved costly .
I find these discs serve the same purpose and easier to handle .
If you use them constantly for peace of mind they do the job .
They arrived ahead of time as well .
I bought these purely because this was last resort as I was taring my hair out with fleas for past 2 months. I was pleasantly pleased with the results. I placed one in the living at night and one in my bedroom and got a few fleas on both. Over the past week or so I’ve had about 8-9. You can put as much flea spray etc and hoover everyday and you still find the little buggers!. I would DEFO RECOMMEND buying these. A quick tip i just learned was to rub coconut oil (cold pressed) easy to get from the supermarket on your dog and the fleas don’t like it. I rubbed it on my dog every other day and it WORKED! and I haven’t seen any on him since. I hope that info may help someone else because it certainly is frustrating dealing with them.
We bought two then ordered two more, these things fit together well and when placed in areas the cats have been in a lot entice the fleas to come visit. Easy to change the discs and catch the little bugs well.
Its effective and a good part of a structured multi pronged attack on fleas, no only does it catch fleas but how many(or not) gives a good indication of how bad an infestation you have.
I found the traps very useful. Use in conjunction with sprays and treating your furry friends, and you will be on the road to winning against the little blighters!
Works well, catches the fleas, bit only one of the two lamps sent works, could be the bulb or lamp itself have already thrown out packaging so cannot retu
I do not have any pets of my own, I was babysitting my sons two dogs and they brought the little blighters into my home. The dogs are gone but the fleas decided they liked my house and were gonna stay on. I tried carpet and room sprays from the vet, vacuumed the house twice a day and washed all soft furnishings but I was still getting the odd bite after all that. Anyway, I thought I’d try this gadget. One went upstairs even though the dogs were not up there and one in the living room. I have not caught a single one upstairs but I did catch a clothes moth in that one, (bonus), but after a week, Id caught 5 in the living room trap. I dont think I have a bad infestation which would explain the small amount caught so far but I dont want any in the house at all so think I’ll keep using the veterinary room treatments until I’m completely sure they have been annihilated from my home. This trap is good for strays who are on the vampire prowl but you need another treatment plan to go with it as it wont get rid of eggs or larvae and as I dont have a dog or cat, there are no treated pets in my house for fleas to jump on, bite and then expire. As a trap, it does the job.
Mrs Hood (Betty) has no more bites on her ankle or her legs. She says she can now go and lie in the sun and the neighbours will not be disgusted. It’s a winner. We both say clap! clap! clap! Bye bye fleas. Away! Away!
The cat brought seemingly indestructible fleas into the house. Not only do the traps really work they also act as a good guide as to how well you’re doing getting rid of the fleas. We found the traps really helpful
Bought these to test whether the spray had done its job. You need to put them together and place in a sticky pad, easily done! Place in areas where you have had fleas plug in and leave. The heat from the bulbs attracts the insects and once they leap on they’re stuck. I moved them around the house. Caught a few fleas, flies and moths. Would use again.
If you’re not getting fleas on this thing after a couple of nights, you are:
a) Staying in the room with it while it’s on, and expecting fleas to go towards a small heat source instead of a large warm human body.
b) Not putting it in an open space where it can be seen from a large area.
c) Using it in too big of a room
d) Fortunate enough to not have fleas in the room. Congratulations.
Your main attack against fleas is: washing bedding, spraying all soft furnishings and treating any pets.
But, these traps are helpful to let you know when more adults have emerged and therefore it’s time to wash and spray again.
Do they catch all the adults? No, but they catch some.
I’d suggest putting one or two in every room you’ve sprayed and then check daily for new adults. The spray kills adults and larvae but not the eggs.
Perfect for catching flying insects & fleas which having a cat is always going to be a problem whatever you. It’s a very effective piece of kit in my Arsenal.
We bought these despite all the comments. we have 2 cats and have always used frontline, usually @ april ish and no problem but this year …. the fleas have taken over. we always use indxxxrxx , along with our usual flea treatments . these flea traps do actually work. we placed one upstairs next to our bed , the other downstairs next to the settee (sofa if ur posh). they caught @ 20 fleas each in the first day but we left the same sticky pads in place caught another 5ish before I witnessed a cocky little fuxxer walking across the obviously not so sticky surface. I do recommend ..forget the rubbish about the bulbs these traps will never kill all fleas but they give a damn good indication of man (or woman) against flea.
Perfect to resolve the problem. You can obviously use these in the trap with the light but after ours broke I used these by laying them in places we knew the fleas would be and they would trap them well
Our cats had been on our bed & I started seeing fleas. I put this gizmo on the bed on Friday eve for a few hours and it was a slow start but I put it down the side of the bed last night & this is what I found this morning (Sunday). I’m grossed out tbh but the trap seems to be working. Very prompt delivery by the way!
I had a flea problem from a stray getting in the house, bought these after using sprays to make sure they were all gone. I left it by the chair and the following morning there were two fleas caught on it. I was stunned I thought they had all been killed with the spray. So glad I purchased these. I notice that others have had problems with the bulbs, I have left mine on day and night since I got them and the bulb still works
Bought because mystery fleas appeared (I don’t have pets) and starting biting my legs at my working from home station; and indeed after being left on overnight, the next morning, it had caught two of them, and I didn’t have bites again.
As a bonus, it also catches midges and some flies; and works better at that than low quality zappers (which never seem to do anything). Useful for summer in general; and this pack actually comes with lots of replacement sticky discs as well as two lamps. The actual structure of the trap is very plasticky and cheap, but it doesn’t have to be great in this case, so I give this a pass.
Sticky traps are, in my experience, excellent for pest catching in general (especially mice) so I can’t not recommend this.
Got this along with monthly now flea and wotming treatment for cat who loves the outdoors but as a res ult get infested ! it works very well and i am very pleased with it – we are not out of the woods yet but we are getting there – my friend Karen wants to buy one as she has 3 indoor cats ! i have showed her my amazon one and she`s hooked ! best of all you get 2 in a pack and plenty of pads
I think on balance this saved me from simply burning down the house, after our cats brought friends home we waged a two month emu war with fleas and were on the losing side. Bought two of these, moved them around to find out where we had an issue, two weeks later we are free of the evil little sods, bonus that you can watch then die horribly. Best thing i have bought in years, no question.
After returning from a 2 week holiday I had the unfortunate surprise of a flea infestation. It’s definitely required a holistic/360 response with lots of different things (house sprays, frontline plus for my cat, flea shampoo for the cat, flea combs, hoover constantly, wash everything you own at 60 degrees etc). I have the heat lamp coming next week but as these arrived earlier I thought I’d give them a go. I put a night light at the other end of the bedroom and set a sticky pad underneath it, not really expecting anything to happen as the light is on low. However, woke up to all of these (as pictured)! Much better than them making their way to the bed.
I don’t leave many reviews. But this product is worth the time it takes. I was skeptical about this product at first. However withing 2 minutes of setting up we got our first victim. It’s humane in the sense it doesn’t use chemicals to exterminate the little pests. Easy to set up and for what your getting definitely value for money. The lamp simulates body heat and it attracts the fleas, the sticky pads you then get with this products stops them from leaving the area. They will wiggle and try to unstick themselves but they have not succeeded yet! I would recommend this product 100% and to be used with other products and measures to exterminate the pests. We used cat and dog flea shampoo, foggers, carpet powder and spray for furniture. We went all out but I find none of these products work well on their own. You need to tackle from all angles.
'Mean' friends are the best kind of friends, science confirms says:
I got this as a last resort since the household flea powder and flea spray wasn’t working on getting rid of the fleas. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work because of the bad reviews, but it works great. It’s very easy to set up and already comes with plenty of sticky traps for multiple uses. I put the trap in the area where the most fleas are and I’ve caught a ton within hours of keeping it on. I would say this was a great purchase, and would recommend it to those who want to get their sweet revenge on those nasty fleas.
Very easy to assemble, went together in seconds. I am neurotic about fleas even though my cat is treated every 5 weeks so thought I would get these for my lounge as have just laid new carpet, haven’t caught anything yet so that’s good for me.
I have a black and white cat that seems to suffer more than any other cat
I have had with the dreaded flea problem. By having these in conjunction with
the holders in the areas he is in most, seems to assist in keeping the problem at bay.
I’ve placed one in two rooms and they have both collected a few fleas, one of which was before it was ever plugged in. I’m not overwhelmed by fleas but deffo works for low infestation. Would recommend several products if you are as they are horrid little things
Had a few bites on my ankles …not sure where they came from. This trap has the best reviews and a high wattage bulb to attract fleas. I’ve bought this as a precaution against possible fleas. Only been using it for 2 days. .no fleas caught yet but i might not have any in my home. Please be aware if you use it in your bedroom it lights up the room and makes it difficult to sleep!
You get two traps in the kit and a good number of extra pads. The trap works well and (unfortunately) catches a lot of critters. As other reviewers have mentioned though this is not a solution to your flea problem but is a useful addition tool. You still need to keep grooming your pet for it to really work but it has been great in catching fleas overnight, which I’m assuming have dropped off my pet. We’ve had no safety concerns with leaving it plugged in overnight, which is when it seems to catch the most. One of the traps has been on continuously since we purchased it a few weeks ago, the other ones bulb died in a single night hence the 4 rather than 5 stars. By some additional bulbs and you’ll see the difference these make in no time.
We have been struggling with fleas for so long, we tried so many different things. Hoovered everything, sprayed all the furniture, flea collars, flea drops, flea bombs and these are the only thing that has ever worked! FINALLY! Our kitties can relax again.
Firstly, no chemicals, this is always important to people with pets. Secondly, these lamps are so effective – move them around your house and if there are any pet fleas they will be drawn to them. These lamps really helped eliminate a flea problem we had recently and made more of a difference than the expensive spray and electric comb I bought. I would highly recommend. Oh and a bonus was that it caught a few mozzies!
These traps are such a simple idea, and yet so effective. True, I ordered 2 of them and one of them had a part missing, the lid with the light is held up by three plastic supports and one of my traps only had two. (I rigged my own third support out of a bit of stiff card) True, they feel a bit flimsy and lightweight. But that’s where my gripes with this product end.
Our cat is an outdoor cat, but often comes into the house and settles down in a corner somewhere or other overnight, and recently we found he’d been bringing little ‘passengers’ into our house and we began to see signs of a flea infestation. To find out which rooms were infested worst, I placed one of these traps in a room overnight and in one 24 hour period it caught over 30 of the little blighters in one of the rooms. So we vacuumed, sprayed and deep cleaned, then just out of interest left the trap turned on in the room for another 24 hours – it caught nothing after the deep clean.
So as part of a bigger process of getting rid of a flea infestation, these traps have a couple of roles to play – as an outright trap to catch fleas yes, but they’re also useful as indicators of where the problem is worst and whether your measures to tackle it are being successful. They’ve been invaluable in helping us get rid of our bitey little invaders.
We got this product in September and used it day and night however we didn’t catch anything. It wasn’t until December when winter started that all of a sudden we were catching 30/40+ fleas on these.
We combined using this with a drop for the cat (we were told by a vet that this was the best method, and have been recommend to use 1 a month for the next 8-12 months to ensure that we get rid of the fleas both on the cat and within our home). We also do constant vacuuming of the carpets, spraying the carpet and brushing the cat everyday to remove fleas.
These flea catchers have definitely helped us to try and sort out this flea problem, we were shocked by the amount that we began catching on these.
I purchased two of these catchers to make sure I had removed any stray fleas around the house. I found them easy to assemble & worked a treat against fleas & mosquitoes this summer. The paper inserts are sturdy & very sticky and I knew they worked as found mosquitoes & a couple of fleas stuck on the first night near my cat’s bed & even though I did not find many fleas in my carpet (thankfully!) I definitely found many mosquitoes were tempted by the light. Great little gadget without using chemicals.
These are useful and they do catch feas. They helped enormously when I moved into a flat that had a flea problem and we beat the little nasties in the end. However the trap is flimsy and requres regular change of paper. The light worked on one of my traps for ages…but the other one the light went quickly. I would buy them again though.
We had a pretty bad infestation so my friend recommended for me to buy and place some flea traps so I did. I was pleasantly surprised to see there were 2 traps included. I placed on in my room and the other was placed downstairs. Assembly was incredibly easy and they stayed sturdy. Quickly, a bunch of fleas started to litter the sticky pad. Downstairs had around 18 fleas! I kept the traps on every night. Combined with using flea treatments for my cat and a flea spray I was able to get rid of my infestation very quickly. The traps are great for catching stray fleas after spraying.
I have never suffered with a flea infestation before and because my dog seems to be allergic to advocate I was forced to find another way forward. this included the Fly Bye traps which told us we had a small problem in our carpet too we left these on at night and in the morning there were a few pests less in the room. I also combined them with a shampoo for the dog and Indorex spray and thankfully we are now flea free as the traps prove night after night no fleas!
What a relief! These things are worth the money just for the peace of mind!
This little contraption caught fleas by what looked like the thousand. Using this, lots of indoor flea killer sprays, and assiduously de-fleaing my 2 feline carriers the problem finally got solved.
Caught the first flea within hours much to my sceptical wife’s surprise. Having resident hedgehogs outside with two cats and a dog inside ‘extra’ insect pets are a recognised hazard. No more fleas for now. I wouldn’t bother with an LED bulb. Around 98% of energy in an incandescent light bulb is given off as waste heat – that’s the ‘body heat’ that attracts the fleas to the trap. A ‘cold’ LED bulb is cheaper to run as it’s more efficient because but doesn’t waste energy by converting it to heat. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, merely converted.
I cannot believe how many of the little critters this piece of equipment actually trapped. Our dog became infested after playing in the park. Obviously one of the other dogs had fleas which transferred to my dog. Put it beside the dog bed, left it on overnight and by morning at least 50 were on the sticky paper. Did this every night for about a week. Including daily grooming……..she has been clear for several weeks now.
I have bought a house moved in and by the third day we had flea bites. I have no pets so new it had to be the house had it sprayed twice which got rid of most of them but still have a few. I saw mixed reviews but thought I would try it as tried everything else. Wow it’s working a treat with in an hour it caught several, this was after I had sprayed the house twice. 48hrs later and there are loads. I am actually going to buy more. You do need to be careful when constructing them as they are quite light and easy to break, comes with extra sticky pads. Be careful with the sticky pads as they are very sticky.
Simple to put together set up in minutes,
Had mine on floor 30min and got 3 over night it filled up nicely,
Got 2 and easy to move round so really useful to put in different spots to identify where the little buggers are,
Really happy with the product so big
I read these reviews and wasn’t 100% sure but wanted to try them anyway and I’m so glad I did! They’re absolutely brilliant little things. We had stray cats & kittens we were fostering who brought fleas into the house and it’s been so difficult to the bottom of where they were and what not. These little traps have been so helpful in pointing out where they were the worst and showing us when we had managed to get them under control. They don’t get burning hot, as they’re mimicking body heat, so they’re as easy to pick up as your pet. Just leave them in a spot, preferably somewhere that’s a cold empty room overnight and if the fleas have nowhere else to go, they absolutely will jump in these. Easy to change the sticky paper and the lightbulbs.
I’ve tried everything from bombs to sprays to tablets and spot ons nothing seemed to help these catch the flea so with spot on and these works wonders thank you !!
Catches everything in the night. Fleas, mosquitos, gnats, I’ve never been bitten since getting this lamp. It’s like the jedi lamp of insect catching.
I’ve got two cat’s that love to drive me up the wall with fleas it none stop !
I’ve got one in there path to the window and one ner there bedding works a treat always traps them it actually works it’s no gimmick

I am leaving an upto date review today. The traps didnt seem to work at first, but they are working well now. I would recommend them.
I was sceptical, but bloody hell, trap really works, obviously you still have to use a good flea treatment on your pet, but any you miss when hovering up this trap will get
Fantastic
I was sceptical about this product, but I thought I would give it a go. The picture shows the sticky disc after just 12 hours.
Arrived same day delivery and even though we have a house cat seem to have an infestation of fleas,mainly in out bedroom which is strange as the cat doesn’t come upstairs, been bitten whilst sleeping all week and was keeping us awake,used these last night with spray and other products and worlds a treat,put under the bed and must have been 40 to 50 little gits on there this morning.
Great stuff
I’ve been struggling with fleas on my dogs for a while and inst impossible to break that cycle! So I brought one of these to see if it helps and it does! It catches so many and my dogs are a lot happier without all the fleas jumping on them constantly.
Definitely would recommend this! I tried one and now I have one in most rooms of the house!
I’m including an unboxing and assembly video so you can try before you buy. I liked that this came with 2 units, used warmer 15 watt bulbs and includes 12 cartridges of sticky paper. It was easy to assemble – took 3 minutes. I will update if we catch anything or have any interesting facts to add after the first day of use.
Great product, catches the little biters, they’re stuck til they die! Would recommend.
This product works very well for the price. Definitly recomend buying
I have only just bought these so my review is within the 1st few days of receiving it. I put one under my bed and one in the lounge where the 4 kittens mostly spend there time. I have attached a video for you to see for yourself. I woke up this morning and had a check under my bed. There is only one bug/flea (and one poor not guilty moth #sadface). You can see the biting blood sucking bug stuck to the sticky floor liner struggling to move. I must have less bugs than I thought if only 1 has been caught ? But we shall see what the rest of the week produces.
These are brilliant gadgets. Love the light and heat it lets off to. I have collected many fleas with this and highly recommend.
After trying foggers and other supposed remedies over a long period of time, this has been the solution we were seeking. No chemicals involved here, just a little heat and sticky paper. Caught a surprising amount of the little critters so quickly. Only drawback is the bulbs did not last long and had to source and replace after quite a short time.
I bought these for the home and in particular my daughters bedroom where she was plagued by them.
By simply leaving on overnight and all day with the blinds down we caught three in that short time and after a couple of days pretty much we are flea free and have been put away in case they are needed again.
Did what it said , cleared them up with in a few days.
These work ..yes the bulbs don’t last but we got replacements from the supermarket ..oven bulbs work a treat . No complaints
I put these under my 3 dogs raised beds to monitor flea problem after getting an infestation. Didn’t use with a lamp or anything. Found fleas on them so they work but as the sprays /spot on treatments worked we found less and less on the sticky pads.
This product is great if you do have a problem with fleas I would definitely get this product and also a fleas treatment for your cat. Worked well got rid of the problem much better than using smoke bombs as they didn’t work!
Delivery dates for these traps was a little confusing. They were advertised as next day delivery but when they were purchased (late December) their tracking docket said delivery would be mid January. I nearly cancelled but I’m glad I didn’t because they arrived four days after the order and are an excellent product. I’ve placed them where our pooch spends most of her time. When I realized she had fleas, she had two courses of flea drops, a flea shampoo bath, a trip to the vet and all her hair chopped off. All of her bedding was washed at a high temperature however when I put out the traps, they started catching fleas within a couple of days. They catch one or two per day, I guess these are eggs that survived the clean out and are slowly hatching as per the flea cycle. It gives me great peace of mind that these are mopping up the late hatchers and I would definitely recommend them for this purpose.
If you have flea problems these are great. They really do work
I would like to say Thank you to the seller for these traps I took a stray cat in got him treated but before I could blink my house was covered in mainly upstairs bedrooms and landing area tried spraying and hoovering but they were obviously hiding in hard to reach area these traps on the first night caught mainly adults next day babies not seen any adults on the sticky pads day 3 and none jumping on my legs I will say if you want to catch them wait until night time turn main lights off and plug this in they love the light I am going to carry on using these for a week might even buy 2 more it saves you money on the sprays
Continually catch fleas, easy to change the sticky pads. Not great if you have pets around though.
I ended up with two traps so needed lots of discs. Great value and they worked which is even more importa
These work brilliantly but being’s they are old filament bulbs they are not working for long . Only had mine a week and 3 out of 4 bulbs have blown already. Am asking dealer to send replacements. But arrived on time wrapped well generally happy.
Sceptical at first but so desperate to get rid of the fleas that have decided to move in our home. Really easy to assemble and plug into the mains so no batteries needed, only started using them last night and already have 20 fleas on one light and 22 on the other, so they definitely work, going to be ordering some more for the other rooms in the house. Highly recommended
Despite having a very efficient Bengal cat, who is an excellent hunter (he’s only allowed in the house and barn, otherwise there wouldn’t be any wildlife left) we currently have mice in the house, and, as a consequence, a bit of a flea alert. When we first moved into this house, over 20 years ago, it was absolutely infested, so we had these then, and they are quietly doing their job just as well as they did back then. The unexpected bonus is that they are also catching wool moths. That was a bit of serendipity that I wasn’t expecting.
As with some of the other reviews one bulb only lasted about an hour but I bought a better one from Homebase and now it works and lasts fine. Put it in the right place and leave it on for an extended period and you’ll get all the little critters hiding there stuck to it. Great addition to the flea catching arsenal.
Its a good remedy for take care home. Is easy to applicate and easy to remove, dont smell is very good produc
Good value for money, packed flat. Sticky enough to work well. The only minor down side was that if using in another well know make of trap, which they are the right diameter for, it is necessary to cut out 4 notches to fit round the top supports – not a major problem as a small pair of scissors does the job well. The minor effort is well worth the saving.
Traps fleas, and other insects, as well as any other make of sticky pads would.
Bought these without the light box and they still caught insects
Helps to trap fleas and give an idea on the infestation level in house. Hope we don’t have to use for a while now
These are great for catching the fleas that are still alive after you have done all the other processes
Amazing!!
easy to assemble, work really well. plenty of replacement pads. very happy with these and ordered another 2, would recommend to anyone to get rid of those unwanted fleas……….
I had one of these flea traps before but this one is far superior, much more substantial and the sticky discs came flat not rolled up.
Was really dubious as it seemed too simplistic but was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked.Brilliant.
i have 4 of these dotted around the house and they do an excellent job. One even caught a mouse (it was relocated to bushes and in good health) . Can be a bit fiddly to assemble and the bulbs don’t last too long but that is expected as on most of the time and do get bashed about a bit.
Catches all the bugs, spiders, moths etc, attracted by the heat/light of the lamp.
Leave it on overnight and in the morning you can guarantee you will see a new addition to the sticky pad.
These flea trap are good quality easy to use and very sticky .
They are just one use as if you try to leave 2 nights one sticker it won’t be strong enough to catch anything more than 1 night
They are expensive too.
Thought these would probably not work very well but was overjoyed to find how fantastic they were after a long battle with fleas I can honestly say we are now winning the battle thanks to these . We placed them all over the house including under the sofa and they safely caught every flea about ,sadly also a small spider .they are safe and easy to use .
This did catch some fleas, it doesn’t come with bulbs you need to buy separately, easy assemble I deducted some stars for lack of bulbs
Bought these to help with the flea infestation in my home. Really helped reduce the infestation within a month along with sprays, steam cleaner and of course cat treatment. For amateur use if you have the time to graft and no money for pest control! Easy to assemble and easy to change lightbulb/sticky pads. I recommended this product to a friend who bought it and also was very pleased.
My cats had fleas and these helped me identify when I had them under control only problem is the bulbs don’t last very long
So impressed. Attracts the fleas and keeps them until they die. I have 4 cats and fleas in the home were quite a problem until I purchased these and hardly see any fleas at all now.
These traps do work and are relatively simple to use. They definitely attract fleas and of course any other insect which is slightly less appealing. You do need one in every room though to be fully effective.
Had these for nearly two weeks and they’re still catching the odd flea.
It is a bit stiff and does feel flimsy when connecting it all up. The sticky pads don’t feel as sticky as expected, and I did drop once flea onto it just for it to escape with a lucky jump.
But as you can see from the photo, it has been working very well in general.
Update: both bulbs blew within 2 months. Would definitely recommend buying spare halogen (LED doesn’t give enough heat, Filament blow easily) bulbs at the same time.
Prior to using these discs . I was using a big brand .name as advertised which proved costly .
I find these discs serve the same purpose and easier to handle .
If you use them constantly for peace of mind they do the job .
They arrived ahead of time as well .
Bought two of these as we rescued a cat who was unfortunately covered in flees. SO with combing and the traps on during the night worked brilliantly.
You don’t need to spend 25.00 o the gadget just buy these add a candle and watch them catch the bugs
My daughter has had great success with hers, mine were a precaution and so far nothing on them luckily but peace of mind no fleas lurking!
I bought these purely because this was last resort as I was taring my hair out with fleas for past 2 months. I was pleasantly pleased with the results. I placed one in the living at night and one in my bedroom and got a few fleas on both. Over the past week or so I’ve had about 8-9. You can put as much flea spray etc and hoover everyday and you still find the little buggers!. I would DEFO RECOMMEND buying these. A quick tip i just learned was to rub coconut oil (cold pressed) easy to get from the supermarket on your dog and the fleas don’t like it. I rubbed it on my dog every other day and it WORKED! and I haven’t seen any on him since. I hope that info may help someone else because it certainly is frustrating dealing with them.
We bought two then ordered two more, these things fit together well and when placed in areas the cats have been in a lot entice the fleas to come visit. Easy to change the discs and catch the little bugs well.
Did what I needed to do! Just wish they would bigger off! First time ever my cats have had fleas in 4 years! These did help though
I purchased two sets. Works fine but one pack of pads dry. (no stick) Unable to find how to contact seller.
I wouldn’t us this in replacement to your For your flea control but as a added addition just to catch the rogue ones. It works well
Its effective and a good part of a structured multi pronged attack on fleas, no only does it catch fleas but how many(or not) gives a good indication of how bad an infestation you have.
I found the traps very useful. Use in conjunction with sprays and treating your furry friends, and you will be on the road to winning against the little blighters!
Works well, catches the fleas, bit only one of the two lamps sent works, could be the bulb or lamp itself have already thrown out packaging so cannot retu
I do not have any pets of my own, I was babysitting my sons two dogs and they brought the little blighters into my home. The dogs are gone but the fleas decided they liked my house and were gonna stay on. I tried carpet and room sprays from the vet, vacuumed the house twice a day and washed all soft furnishings but I was still getting the odd bite after all that. Anyway, I thought I’d try this gadget. One went upstairs even though the dogs were not up there and one in the living room. I have not caught a single one upstairs but I did catch a clothes moth in that one, (bonus), but after a week, Id caught 5 in the living room trap. I dont think I have a bad infestation which would explain the small amount caught so far but I dont want any in the house at all so think I’ll keep using the veterinary room treatments until I’m completely sure they have been annihilated from my home. This trap is good for strays who are on the vampire prowl but you need another treatment plan to go with it as it wont get rid of eggs or larvae and as I dont have a dog or cat, there are no treated pets in my house for fleas to jump on, bite and then expire. As a trap, it does the job.
Mrs Hood (Betty) has no more bites on her ankle or her legs. She says she can now go and lie in the sun and the neighbours will not be disgusted. It’s a winner. We both say clap! clap! clap! Bye bye fleas. Away! Away!
The cat brought seemingly indestructible fleas into the house. Not only do the traps really work they also act as a good guide as to how well you’re doing getting rid of the fleas. We found the traps really helpful
Extra sticky replacement discs for Fly-Bye flea trap. Caught many other insects too. Super sticky. Apply carefully to trap.
Bought these to test whether the spray had done its job. You need to put them together and place in a sticky pad, easily done! Place in areas where you have had fleas plug in and leave. The heat from the bulbs attracts the insects and once they leap on they’re stuck. I moved them around the house. Caught a few fleas, flies and moths. Would use again.
If you’re not getting fleas on this thing after a couple of nights, you are:
a) Staying in the room with it while it’s on, and expecting fleas to go towards a small heat source instead of a large warm human body.
b) Not putting it in an open space where it can be seen from a large area.
c) Using it in too big of a room
d) Fortunate enough to not have fleas in the room. Congratulations.
You will catch flies.
Dear god, so many flies.
An excellent product for attracting fleas in the house. Very impressed
Your main attack against fleas is: washing bedding, spraying all soft furnishings and treating any pets.
But, these traps are helpful to let you know when more adults have emerged and therefore it’s time to wash and spray again.
Do they catch all the adults? No, but they catch some.
I’d suggest putting one or two in every room you’ve sprayed and then check daily for new adults. The spray kills adults and larvae but not the eggs.
Perfect for catching flying insects & fleas which having a cat is always going to be a problem whatever you. It’s a very effective piece of kit in my Arsenal.
We bought these despite all the comments. we have 2 cats and have always used frontline, usually @ april ish and no problem but this year …. the fleas have taken over. we always use indxxxrxx , along with our usual flea treatments . these flea traps do actually work. we placed one upstairs next to our bed , the other downstairs next to the settee (sofa if ur posh). they caught @ 20 fleas each in the first day but we left the same sticky pads in place caught another 5ish before I witnessed a cocky little fuxxer walking across the obviously not so sticky surface. I do recommend ..forget the rubbish about the bulbs these traps will never kill all fleas but they give a damn good indication of man (or woman) against flea.
Perfect to resolve the problem. You can obviously use these in the trap with the light but after ours broke I used these by laying them in places we knew the fleas would be and they would trap them well
Love these as soon as I put them on the floor the fleas were getting stuck
Our cats had been on our bed & I started seeing fleas. I put this gizmo on the bed on Friday eve for a few hours and it was a slow start but I put it down the side of the bed last night & this is what I found this morning (Sunday). I’m grossed out tbh but the trap seems to be working. Very prompt delivery by the way!
I had a flea problem from a stray getting in the house, bought these after using sprays to make sure they were all gone. I left it by the chair and the following morning there were two fleas caught on it. I was stunned I thought they had all been killed with the spray. So glad I purchased these. I notice that others have had problems with the bulbs, I have left mine on day and night since I got them and the bulb still works
Bought because mystery fleas appeared (I don’t have pets) and starting biting my legs at my working from home station; and indeed after being left on overnight, the next morning, it had caught two of them, and I didn’t have bites again.
As a bonus, it also catches midges and some flies; and works better at that than low quality zappers (which never seem to do anything). Useful for summer in general; and this pack actually comes with lots of replacement sticky discs as well as two lamps. The actual structure of the trap is very plasticky and cheap, but it doesn’t have to be great in this case, so I give this a pass.
Sticky traps are, in my experience, excellent for pest catching in general (especially mice) so I can’t not recommend this.
Got this along with monthly now flea and wotming treatment for cat who loves the outdoors but as a res ult get infested ! it works very well and i am very pleased with it – we are not out of the woods yet but we are getting there – my friend Karen wants to buy one as she has 3 indoor cats ! i have showed her my amazon one and she`s hooked ! best of all you get 2 in a pack and plenty of pads
I think on balance this saved me from simply burning down the house, after our cats brought friends home we waged a two month emu war with fleas and were on the losing side. Bought two of these, moved them around to find out where we had an issue, two weeks later we are free of the evil little sods, bonus that you can watch then die horribly. Best thing i have bought in years, no question.
After returning from a 2 week holiday I had the unfortunate surprise of a flea infestation. It’s definitely required a holistic/360 response with lots of different things (house sprays, frontline plus for my cat, flea shampoo for the cat, flea combs, hoover constantly, wash everything you own at 60 degrees etc). I have the heat lamp coming next week but as these arrived earlier I thought I’d give them a go. I put a night light at the other end of the bedroom and set a sticky pad underneath it, not really expecting anything to happen as the light is on low. However, woke up to all of these (as pictured)! Much better than them making their way to the bed.
I don’t leave many reviews. But this product is worth the time it takes. I was skeptical about this product at first. However withing 2 minutes of setting up we got our first victim. It’s humane in the sense it doesn’t use chemicals to exterminate the little pests. Easy to set up and for what your getting definitely value for money. The lamp simulates body heat and it attracts the fleas, the sticky pads you then get with this products stops them from leaving the area. They will wiggle and try to unstick themselves but they have not succeeded yet! I would recommend this product 100% and to be used with other products and measures to exterminate the pests. We used cat and dog flea shampoo, foggers, carpet powder and spray for furniture. We went all out but I find none of these products work well on their own. You need to tackle from all angles.
I got this as a last resort since the household flea powder and flea spray wasn’t working on getting rid of the fleas. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work because of the bad reviews, but it works great. It’s very easy to set up and already comes with plenty of sticky traps for multiple uses. I put the trap in the area where the most fleas are and I’ve caught a ton within hours of keeping it on. I would say this was a great purchase, and would recommend it to those who want to get their sweet revenge on those nasty fleas.
Very easy to assemble, went together in seconds. I am neurotic about fleas even though my cat is treated every 5 weeks so thought I would get these for my lounge as have just laid new carpet, haven’t caught anything yet so that’s good for me.
I have a black and white cat that seems to suffer more than any other cat
I have had with the dreaded flea problem. By having these in conjunction with
the holders in the areas he is in most, seems to assist in keeping the problem at bay.
I’ve placed one in two rooms and they have both collected a few fleas, one of which was before it was ever plugged in. I’m not overwhelmed by fleas but deffo works for low infestation. Would recommend several products if you are as they are horrid little things
Had a few bites on my ankles …not sure where they came from. This trap has the best reviews and a high wattage bulb to attract fleas. I’ve bought this as a precaution against possible fleas. Only been using it for 2 days. .no fleas caught yet but i might not have any in my home. Please be aware if you use it in your bedroom it lights up the room and makes it difficult to sleep!
You get two traps in the kit and a good number of extra pads. The trap works well and (unfortunately) catches a lot of critters. As other reviewers have mentioned though this is not a solution to your flea problem but is a useful addition tool. You still need to keep grooming your pet for it to really work but it has been great in catching fleas overnight, which I’m assuming have dropped off my pet. We’ve had no safety concerns with leaving it plugged in overnight, which is when it seems to catch the most. One of the traps has been on continuously since we purchased it a few weeks ago, the other ones bulb died in a single night hence the 4 rather than 5 stars. By some additional bulbs and you’ll see the difference these make in no time.
We have been struggling with fleas for so long, we tried so many different things. Hoovered everything, sprayed all the furniture, flea collars, flea drops, flea bombs and these are the only thing that has ever worked! FINALLY! Our kitties can relax again.
Firstly, no chemicals, this is always important to people with pets. Secondly, these lamps are so effective – move them around your house and if there are any pet fleas they will be drawn to them. These lamps really helped eliminate a flea problem we had recently and made more of a difference than the expensive spray and electric comb I bought. I would highly recommend. Oh and a bonus was that it caught a few mozzies!
These traps are such a simple idea, and yet so effective. True, I ordered 2 of them and one of them had a part missing, the lid with the light is held up by three plastic supports and one of my traps only had two. (I rigged my own third support out of a bit of stiff card) True, they feel a bit flimsy and lightweight. But that’s where my gripes with this product end.
Our cat is an outdoor cat, but often comes into the house and settles down in a corner somewhere or other overnight, and recently we found he’d been bringing little ‘passengers’ into our house and we began to see signs of a flea infestation. To find out which rooms were infested worst, I placed one of these traps in a room overnight and in one 24 hour period it caught over 30 of the little blighters in one of the rooms. So we vacuumed, sprayed and deep cleaned, then just out of interest left the trap turned on in the room for another 24 hours – it caught nothing after the deep clean.
So as part of a bigger process of getting rid of a flea infestation, these traps have a couple of roles to play – as an outright trap to catch fleas yes, but they’re also useful as indicators of where the problem is worst and whether your measures to tackle it are being successful. They’ve been invaluable in helping us get rid of our bitey little invaders.
We got this product in September and used it day and night however we didn’t catch anything. It wasn’t until December when winter started that all of a sudden we were catching 30/40+ fleas on these.
We combined using this with a drop for the cat (we were told by a vet that this was the best method, and have been recommend to use 1 a month for the next 8-12 months to ensure that we get rid of the fleas both on the cat and within our home). We also do constant vacuuming of the carpets, spraying the carpet and brushing the cat everyday to remove fleas.
These flea catchers have definitely helped us to try and sort out this flea problem, we were shocked by the amount that we began catching on these.
I purchased two of these catchers to make sure I had removed any stray fleas around the house. I found them easy to assemble & worked a treat against fleas & mosquitoes this summer. The paper inserts are sturdy & very sticky and I knew they worked as found mosquitoes & a couple of fleas stuck on the first night near my cat’s bed & even though I did not find many fleas in my carpet (thankfully!) I definitely found many mosquitoes were tempted by the light. Great little gadget without using chemicals.
These are useful and they do catch feas. They helped enormously when I moved into a flat that had a flea problem and we beat the little nasties in the end. However the trap is flimsy and requres regular change of paper. The light worked on one of my traps for ages…but the other one the light went quickly. I would buy them again though.
We had a pretty bad infestation so my friend recommended for me to buy and place some flea traps so I did. I was pleasantly surprised to see there were 2 traps included. I placed on in my room and the other was placed downstairs. Assembly was incredibly easy and they stayed sturdy. Quickly, a bunch of fleas started to litter the sticky pad. Downstairs had around 18 fleas! I kept the traps on every night. Combined with using flea treatments for my cat and a flea spray I was able to get rid of my infestation very quickly. The traps are great for catching stray fleas after spraying.
I have never suffered with a flea infestation before and because my dog seems to be allergic to advocate I was forced to find another way forward. this included the Fly Bye traps which told us we had a small problem in our carpet too we left these on at night and in the morning there were a few pests less in the room. I also combined them with a shampoo for the dog and Indorex spray and thankfully we are now flea free as the traps prove night after night no fleas!
What a relief! These things are worth the money just for the peace of mind!
This little contraption caught fleas by what looked like the thousand. Using this, lots of indoor flea killer sprays, and assiduously de-fleaing my 2 feline carriers the problem finally got solved.
Caught the first flea within hours much to my sceptical wife’s surprise. Having resident hedgehogs outside with two cats and a dog inside ‘extra’ insect pets are a recognised hazard. No more fleas for now. I wouldn’t bother with an LED bulb. Around 98% of energy in an incandescent light bulb is given off as waste heat – that’s the ‘body heat’ that attracts the fleas to the trap. A ‘cold’ LED bulb is cheaper to run as it’s more efficient because but doesn’t waste energy by converting it to heat. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, merely converted.
I cannot believe how many of the little critters this piece of equipment actually trapped. Our dog became infested after playing in the park. Obviously one of the other dogs had fleas which transferred to my dog. Put it beside the dog bed, left it on overnight and by morning at least 50 were on the sticky paper. Did this every night for about a week. Including daily grooming……..she has been clear for several weeks now.
