Victor M231 Ultimate Flea Trap Refills, 3 Per Pack

No complaints! These worked great to help kick a bad flea problem!

Do yourself a favor if you're looking at the traps these refills are for - skip the trap.These sticky paper sheets work great. There's no attractant added or anything. The ridiculous (and poorly reviewed) trap assembly they go to is supposed to provide that with its (unreliable) light. See, fleas (despite what you might think) are VERY drawn towards light sources and will tend to amass near consistent light.So armed with this knowledge you should instead make your own, vastly superior (and cheaper) trap. You will need:1) A light source, a good night light should suffice. These will only really be effective at night anyway.2) Disposable (paper) plates, large size. 12 inches or so most likely (You'll need about 10 inches of surface area for these sheets).3) Double-sided tape to adhere the flea trap sheets to the plate. (Attach the sheet to the plate BEFORE you remove the protective paper from the flea trap sheet.)I really liked the idea of Victor's Ultimate Flea Trap, but there was no way I was going to spend $20 on something filled with reviews of it failing after so little time! Also its design is very poor, preventing fleas from coming in from the top (why do they think fleas only hop a couple of inches up at most?) and minimizing the amount of light that would attract fleas in the first place. Making your own trap is substantially cheaper and most home outlets you'd put night lights in are about the right height over the floor to be perfect for this.The flea trap sheets themselves are wonderfully sticky. Your life won't be ruined forever if your thumb accidentally brushes across the glue-surface while putting them in, but they do snare fleas like a champ. I'm really sorry that I can't recommend the product these refills are meant for, but in this case the product is ruining the best part of the whole!

I don't actually use these with the trap unit they are designed for- I simply place them out with an incandescent lamp shining on them, and the results are more or less the same. You can make a bigger trap by sticking two or three together at the edges.You can prolong their life for cheap with a roll of Gorilla Tape or Tough Tape (the super-strong version of duct tape). When the traps start to get less sticky, place a layer of Gorilla Tape face-up on the traps to give them renewed stickiness. In my case, Gorilla tape was sticky enough to grab fleas. Not sure if the color of the tape makes them less "attractive," but I was able to catch them on the tape.The glue traps make a good indicator for a flea problem, and in bad cases they will help you thin the adults out during your eradication campaign... but don't rely on this to eradicate them. They treat one of the symptoms, but not the full problem which is females laying eggs. In my case, I never caught more than one or two in a week, and vacuum+spraying seemed to take care of them (for now, I hope).When tackling a flea problem, DON'T FORGET TO VACUUM! 80-90% of a flea population is in egg or larva form, and female fleas lay dozens of eggs per day... do the math. If you kill/catch the fleas but you don't vacuum or spray the eggs, you will never be rid of them. Vacuum the couch, the carpets, along corners, under furniture, etc. Vacuum every couple of days at least, anywhere they appear on the traps... and don't stop until a few weeks after you stop catching them. Buy a handheld dust-buster if it helps you stick to a vacuum routine. Lastly, empty the bag or cylinder OUTSIDE of your house, and not in your trash... for obvious reasons. Wouldn't hurt to spray your bag after each cleaning too.Good luck with your flea problem!

I had infestations of fleas because of two dogs and a cat. I cannot tolerate pesticides and don't want to subject my dogs to any more pesticides than they already have been exposed to. But the fleas were in the house and biting all of us including in my bed. I was beside myself about what to do. Then I found these traps. WHAT A GREAT RELIEF. I bought 3 of these and right away they started catching fleas. I put down some diatomaceous earth on the carpets and used these lamps in each room. Within a few days I was no longer being bit. Within a few more days the dogs were scratching much less. My infestation was gone within a week without any harsh chemicals or fogging my house. I keep these lit 24/7 all year round as an added bonus it also captures other bugs in the house too. I will use these forever as long as I have pets in my house. The sticky pads don't cost all that much and work unbelievably well. I feel good about not poisoning the environment, myself or my pets and love how easy this is to use. I wish it didn't take electricity to use but it is a small price to pay for such relief for me and my dogs.

It works very well and catches any insect landing on it.

Arrived promptly and as described.
