It lacks the power to bring down larger flies, but with 3 methods of trapping, gnats, fruit flies, and mosquitoes shouldn’t stand a chance. It made me feel really bad—but also these flies are in my home, not contributing to rent, so really, whose fault was it?

As I noted before, the trap works best with the lights off so the bugs are more attracted to the UV light. Finally, there’s a sticky board at the bottom of the trap where the insects eventually land (or get blown from the fan). Katchy says that the glue boards can last up to 4 weeks each, and I would say that is about accurate. I have to take a q-tip to the top of both my Katchy’s weekly to keep the house glorp from obstructing airflow (also have to do it to our tower fans).The machines come with four “ bug catching glue boards,” which are really just branded, round sticky fly paper. The Katchy is great for anyone trying to get rid of drain flies, mosquitoes, gnats, or fruit flies, in the home.

You will have success with most smaller insects, but houseflies on the larger end will be able to remove themselves from the glue stick pad. Once you’ve emptied the bottom of the trap, just put a new glue board into the device and you’re ready to go again. Triple trapping power: a UV light, powerful fan, and sticky glue board combines to be an effective way for how to get rid of fruit flies, gnats, and other small bugs. To put it simply, they could’ve put more thought into how one person would change out the sticky pads alone.I thought I had a few gnats and I could benefit from a bit of help getting things under control…boy was I wrong! It’s quiet enough to keep in your room, providing white noise and helping to protect you all night from those pesky critters. Especially since the manufacturer recommends putting the trap NEAR the insects and running it at night - under those conditions a few unlucky bugs are sure to stumble into any trop! I can't say enough, if you have a grow booth and issues with little critters, that putting one of these in the booth at about two weeks for a night will not affect your grow and if there is anything in there it will clear out most of the problems.

You take it out of the box, open up the bottom with the push button, and that’s where the sticky pad goes.There is no legal warranty that we could find, but the manufacturer states in the instructions that "if you don't notice a difference" after setting up your trap, "just contact us within a year for a prompt full refund.

Cameras are essential tools that allow us to capture and immortalize memories, express our creativity, and capture the beauty of the world around us. The Katchy Indoor Insect Trap is a plug-and-play device that combines a replaceable sticky trap with a bug light and suction fan. Make sure to avoid placing it near competing light sources, as the UV light is meant to be the main attractant. Another purchased this item out of "desperation" and raved about how this machine helped with their mosquito infestation after only a week and a half. It can be plugged directly into a USB port, or plugged into an A/C outlet using the included USB to A/C adapter plug.The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed. Oh yeah, and it even comes in your choice of white or black, but the UV light is always a purple-ish color. It is recommended that you clean your trap once a week, clearing out dead bugs from the glue traps once they begin to cover the surface to ensure it stays sticky. It also arguably works better since it includes a UV light to attract bugs and a fan to suck them down. There is no legally binding warranty, but the manufacturer states that you can contact them within a year for "a prompt full refund" if you don't see a difference.
