Generally I liked it for the bug catching. It gets a lot of fruit flies and gnats.
I add some Lactic Acid [amazon.com] on a cotton ball taped to the top to attract more mosquitos (no idea if it works).
I make my own replacement sticky pads using brush-on sticky coating [amazon.com] and some old wax-coated cardboard cut into circles.
Cons:
1. Sticky body: the black one I got developed that sticky plastic exterior problem that some plastics get over time. Maybe this white one uses different plastic in the body.
2. Expensive replacement pads ($1.50+ each)
3. Hard to clean: Gets pretty dirty with continuous use, can't get at the fan to clean it. Pads get dusty as well as buggy...if you have pets, well....
4. UV light: Seems to be a coating that wore off, now the light is whiter.
5. Got noisier over time (probably dirty fan)
I'm still buying this deal for 2 to replace mine and maybe give one away.
Might not even have to put the seran wrap on there.
EDIT: Forgot soap ingredient

That breaks the surface of the water or something so that the flies feet doesn't just float ontop of the water. As soon as they touch the soapy vinegar they just straight up drown lol.
If you already did that, try twirling the solution around so that the walls get a bit of that coating. Maybe make the holes bigger in the seran wrap. I just use one of those wooden meat skewers

Sounds like a very fancy way of saying they drown..
