 Extremely helpful, but you'll need to do more. November 27, 2006

Fleas can be an annoying problem to have in your house. They're tiny, annoying little insects. It's a difficult problem to tackle, and you need to do so from several angles.
This flea trap is a big help in targeting certain areas of your home, particularly where your pets frequent. We set this trap up by the couch and there were a lot of fleas in it after one night. I was really impressed. You can move it to different rooms if you need to, and it has a nice long cord so you're not stuck near the wall. Definately a nice additions to your flea arsenal.
However, don't rely on it as your only means of tackling the flea problem. I found several home rememdies to use if you're not comfortable using chemicals and other artificial means. Mix 3 parts of borax and 1 part of salt and sprinkle it on your carpet and furniture. Wait half an hour and vaccum it off. The borax will kill any living fleas and the salt will dry out the eggs. Repeat for a week or two.
As for your animals, giving them a bath with a flea shampoo, or even regular dish soap. Just make sure you don't get it their eyes or anything. Combing also makes a big difference. Dunk the comb in a bowl of soapy water and swish it around to kill any fleas on the comb. If you find a few stuck in the teeth, you can use tweezers to pick them out and either dunk them in the water or burn them with a candle lighter. Be careful! Safety first! Watch for nearby flammables!
For yourself, I used a spray on insect repellent. Look for special tick and flea repellents in a store or online. Usually in the form of lotions, too. Avon's Skin so Soft is helpful.
Using the trap and other methods, you can diffently make your flea problem much more manageable, or even non-existant.
 Awesome! April 14, 2006

So far on only the 2nd day of use, the flea trap has caught about 20 fleas. I have 2 set up.. 1 in my living rm and one in my dining rm. which is where my cat likes to go the most. I tried using a fogger to kill the fleas and when that didn't work I started searching online for a better and longer lasting solution. I am very pleased with my purchase and will be buying a couple more for other rooms in my house. On another note.. if your pet ever gets fleas or you suspect that they have them, take care of the problem right away! I didn't take care of the problem right away and now have spent over $150 dollars on pills, shampoos, sprays, foggers, flea collars, (which btw do not work very well) and now the traps. Needless to say I will not make the same mistake again!

With three cats and a dog plus two kids who can't seem to keep the pets outside, our house has been totally infested with fleas this summer. I had made a simple flea trap using a desk lamp pointing down at a low cake pan filled with soapy water which was catching dozens of fleas a day. When I saw these traps advertised I thought they looked like just the ticket and expected they would be a big improvement over my decidedly low tech job. So I ordered four right away.
Now I'm less then impressed and plan on returning these today.
Yes, the light on the trap attracts fleas - you can see dozen of the little buggers milling around the each trap. But after using four of the Spring Star traps for two days, I have only caught a grand total of just one flea. That is one pretty expensive flea. And yes, I did remember to take the protective paper off the sticky paper and pointed the sticky side up. It just seems like the fleas can't find their way into to trap or if they do they simply aren't caught on the sticky paper. If these traps are a vast improvement over the "old style" traps, I hate to think how bad the old ones were. I think Neil Young must have bought a few of these which inspired him to write "Piece of Crap."
What I have ended up having to do is spray the area around the traps and kill the fleas that have congregated around the traps. This is good as it limits the area I need to spray. However, I could have done this just as easily and much cheaper using a two dollar night light. I'd say save your money and just get the night light first.
It works!!! June 25, 2006

In the space of about two weeks, the sticky pad was completely filled with fleas. If you have a real infestation problem and buy this product, be sure to get extra pads. They fill up fast! We only bought one, but for the size of our house we really should have gotten at least two.

Once I figured out I had to remove the paper backing from the flypaper for it to work, it really started snagging fleas.
