Embrace a Never Bugged State of Mind With New STEM™ Insecticide-Free Flying Insects Light Trap
STEM™ attracts and traps bothersome flying house guests with a simple, insecticide-free solution
CHICAGO, April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Springtime brings warmer temperatures and the joys of entertaining friends and family, visiting farmers markets for fresh fruit and flowers, and more. But it also comes with ripe opportunities for pesky flying insects to come inside the home. That's why the STEM™ brand has introduced the STEM™ Attracts & Traps Flying Insects Light Trap, a people-, pet- and plant-friendly1 solution that works 24/7 against house flies, fruit flies, mosquitoes, gnats and moths. Because let's face it: Life's better when you're not bugged by bugs.
The STEM™ Flying Insects Light Trap is a chemical insecticide-free solution that uses a soft UV-blue light to attract and trap flying insects. Gone are the days of trying to catch pesky fruit flies that can damage fresh produce with messy home remedies, like setting out rotting fruit in a jar or hitting bothersome flies with a swatter. The device's sleek and discreet design fits any home aesthetic. It also features an innovative yet functional design on the outlet base that rotates 90-degrees—allowing for easy placement in the nooks and corners of your home.
Equipped with a refillable double-sided adhesive cartridge to catch insects attracted by the UV light, the STEM™ Flying Insects Light Trap is best placed in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, entryways, closed patios, or near plants and trash cans, and the refill should be replaced every 30 days, or when full of insects. With an MSRP of $19.99, the new STEM™ Light Trap was named a 2024 Product of the Year winner in the pest control category for outstanding innovation through selection by a panel of industry representatives and a national survey of 40,000 American shoppers conducted by Kantar, a global leader in consumer research.
