Tools and Hardware Reviews of Springstar S102 Flea Trap
Customer Review: It works.... for MANY bugs!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got these as an extra hand in fighting a breakout of fleas. We just moved to a humid and hot state.. and never thought fleas were a big problem because we never, ever had a problem before. Anyways, these things work. We only caught maybe 10-15 fleas on them, between the two traps we had. This is probably because we had cleaned and bombed the house high and low, washed every piece of fabric, carpet, bathed the cats a few times, gave them flea treatment, etc., etc. So there weren't many fleas left to catch. We were delighted to see the few that we did catch though. The trap has helped trap many bugs including spiders and those little pincher bugs that we never imagined were in our house. It's a great tool to have for not only fleas, but overall chemical free pest control (for the little bugs, unless you leave the cover off.) My only complaint is that the replacements can get expensive after a while. Otherwise, it's a great invention!Customer Review: The proof is on the pad
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this product for about a year now. Our cat had a few fleas and I would put the trap out in various areas. At first, it caught only a few, but one less flea is one less flea that can lay eggs.
We didn't notice the power of this trap until our most recent flea outbreak...the ENTIRE pad is full of fleas. I think we may have caught more fleas during our most recent outbreak for two reasons: 1) the outbreak was worse this time than when I only caught a few fleas during the minor outbreak and 2) our cat has been hiding in the basement because the fleas seem to be worse where there is carpeting. Without her there to jump on, the fleas are taking to the light and getting caught in the trap.
Either way, I think it's worth trying. Leave it on, seems to work well when it's in a dark room and can attract the fleas, move it around to different spots, and good luck!
Customer Review: Better than Flea Bombs!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a little studio building that is about 400 square feet...No carpeting but it is SWARMING with fleas!. I set off one flea bomb that was said to treat up to 2500 square feet and it didn't do any good. So the next day I set off 3 three flea bombs, and it STILL didn't do any good.
So I researched Amazon, found these flea traps and decided to try them. I ordered two and no replacment pads. I have had the traps in the room for two days now and the pads are completely covered. The infestation was so bad that if I walked into the building, my pant legs would be covered and I'd have to beat the fleas off of my legs. Now I walk in and only a few jump on me.
My only regret is not ordering a few more traps and replacement pads...But I just did place another order so I am good to go:) If you have a flea infestation problem, these traps are the answer!
Customer Review: works better than others I've tried and does a good job
Summary: 5 Stars
Title says it all really. I tried another one (one that mounts vertically against the wall) but it came with an LED light and those don't produce heat... meaning I don't think it's as attractive to fleas as this one (which has a traditional bulb that puts out heat and light). Fleas are definitely attracted to it and I get a fully covered pad in a week or so (I've got a very bad outdoor infestation in one spot of my garden for some unknown reason). I'm using this in combination with beneficial nematodes + sometimes I put down a chemical treatment as well. This pad is great as it works 24/7 and really helps control the adult population. I sometimes stand a distance from the pad and use a stick to bang the ground lightly around it. The vibrations are what really bring those little suckers running! I'd recommend this as a good flea capture pad solution.Customer Review: Sadly, this did not work.

The Springstar Flea Trap got some pretty decent reviews here on Amazon, so before I sprayed my place with chemicals, I figured I'd give this non-toxic solution a try. Sadly, it was a waste of money. I ordered two and placed them in separate rooms. I guess with 3 pets in the house, the fleas could tell the difference between a real live animal and a lightbulb with some sticky tape. In a weeks time I caught 1 little gnat, 1 spider and a bunch of pet hairs and some tiny dust bunnies. While the traps sat empty of fleas, I was still combing a flea or two off of my cats every day. After seeing the desgin and components in person, if you really want to try this method, buy some double stick carpet tape and put it in a cardboard box lid then place a regular lamp over it. I would give this item zero stars if it was possible.
