More Than 100,000 Amazon Shoppers Bought This TikTok-Viral Indoor Fly Trap This Month — Here’s Why

Somehow, gnats, mosquitos, and flies — all variations of pesky flying insects that are the bane of my existence — always find a way into your apartment, even if you’re several floors up, keep the windows shut, and are always on top of dishes and trash. The weather may have started to turn, but I’m still finding them buzzing around every so often, and it is beyond annoying. I’m sure it doesn’t help that for the past few weeks I’ve been loading up on seasonal fruits like apples and nectarines, but what else can you do?

I want something that’ll solve my insect problems, be low maintenance, and take up hardly any space — in fact, I want something that I’ll hardly notice at all. So when this viral TikTok video got on my radar and I heard the user saying that “this is the best Amazon purchase [they] have ever made,” I paid attention. Then, I discovered that over 100,000 people have snagged the Safer Home Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap in the past month alone, and now I’m convinced that it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

With an impressive 400-square-foot coverage area, once you insert one of the two included glue cards and plug the trap in, it uses UV LED light to attract the insects. It really is as easy as that! It’s especially ideal for the kitchen, with no chemical smells, loud fan noises, or any other bothersome aspects, and it even looks discreet, since it’s entirely white and blends into your outlet. The insects get stuck to the back of the glue card that faces the wall, so they won’t be visible either, and you only have to replace it every month or so. The brand guarantees it’ll tackle flies, fruit flies, moths, and gnats, so you’ll be totally covered.

Average Rating: 4.3/5

“I plugged it in by the back door and literally forgot about it. I then checked ot a month later, and as you can see by the picture, it had captured an impressive amount of bugs! I also put one in the kitchen by the sink, and it gets all the fruit Flys. The unit is easy maintenance. Easy to install sticky paper trap (no mess)(no sticky fingers). Easy to change out when full.” – Linda Hill

“These flying insect traps are very well designed, effective, and work exceptionally well. No unnecessary features, just good form and function in a small unit that actually looks nice and doesn’t take up much space.” – R. Precourt

“Because it is a passive device that contains no chemicals or insecticides, this thing is safe to use in the kitchen. We placed it just above the counter and we do not see bugs anymore. The company recommends replacing the sticky trap every three weeks but I found that it is really not necessary. It all depends on how many bugs get stuck to it. So far we’ve used ONE sticky trap through the entire summer.” – Rochesterian

In addition to how effective it is, possibly the best part is that this trap takes up literally no space at all on your countertops — which, as all of us with compact kitchens and apartments know, is seriously valuable. With over 2 million likes on the viral TikTok post and the enormous amount of Amazon purchases this month, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on this handy device ASAP!
