Q: Can this be used for indoor houseplants? Often the plants have little bugs when I buy them and I inadvertantly bring them into my home on the plants. Would this work for ornamental house plants?

Summary of reviews
The Stem Flying Insect Light Trap is celebrated by guests for its effectiveness in trapping flying insects like fruit flies, gnats, and mosquitoes without the use of chemicals, making it safe for both pets and people. Its ease of use, ability to double as a nightlight, and sleek design that blends into home decor are highly appreciated. While it's effective for small to medium-sized areas and comes with a refill, some guests note the ongoing cost of refills and the brightness of the light as considerations.

This product ruined my $150 worth of plants!!! It left them a spotted mess & dying! I'm absolutely sick about it. I would have much preferred a few holes in the leaves. The last picture shows the color of my beautiful flowers before this garbage left "bleach" spots all over them!

The product is okay. It does indeed kill gnat but it doesn't prevent more from landing on the plant. I wish it had repelling properties as well.
Pricey little bottle that killed my plants but not the bugs

DC - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
Did not kill the bugs, but certainly killed my healthy plants in under 24 hours. This is not "plant safe". Price is also high for such a small bottle.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear our STEM Plant & Garden Insects killed your plants and did not get rid of those pesky bugs. When following label directions, we expect this to effectively kill aphids, spider mites, or thrips from ornamental houseplants. As this wasn't the case, we'd like the chance to talk and see where things went wrong. Please give us a call at 877-869-7546 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22485308.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. My wife had been having issues with aphids on her roses, and hasn't been able to find a pet safe solution. This stuff seems to be just what we're looking for. I can't report on long term effectiveness yet, but so far so good.
Love this and can use around my family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The smell, while strong, seems natural. The product does kill upon impact. I'm confident this will work when I use it. Long term effect on the plant isn't something I can speak to at this moment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I purchased this for my indoor plants that I have seen some small insects on. I like that it is not toxic and safe for animals and kids. It has a pleasant scent. I recommended spraying outside or in an area that is safe. My spray went further than I thought it would meaning it covers a wider area with one spray.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is a great natural product for use in doors on your plants, and the cedarwood smell is very pleasant. The spray also has a nice coverage. The writing on the package is a bit blurry, and hard to read (this includes the warnings).
Great product for my plants!
