Product Description
At Katchy, we believe that your indoor spaces should be bug-free.
For Katchy Duo, we redesigned the original model and added additional features to extend pest-control coverage to 24 hours a day. The 360 degree UV light and scent trap work in tandem to attract flying insects and trap them on the sticky pad below. With a smaller and more discreet design, we've made fly catching even easier.
You don't have to be (or hire) a pest control expert to take back your airspace.
Our research shows that the ideal potion to attract and take out fruit flies, mosquitos and no-see-ums is apple cider vinegar with a few drops of dish soap, that you can easily make at home.
The compact liquid bait trap can be placed in the center of the Katchy device to double the temptation for swarms, or placed near trash, plants, or bar-top supplies to keep creepy-crawlies away from your clean surfaces. Either way, the Bait trap never stops working. No toxic sprays or dangerous chemicals. Just common household soap and vinegar.

Title: The BEST indoor bug catcher!
Review: I tried saving money by purchasing the cheap bug catchers which I ended up sending back. I decided to try the Katchy one, and within minutes I had SEVERAL fruit flies! I ended up buying myself a 2nd one, and one for my neighbor as well. These things work great, with or without the liquid you can add to the center. Theyâre not noisy, the light isnât disturbing, itâs by far the BEST out there! Super easy to put together and change out the stuff my pads. The sticky pads will last quite a long time, I donât change mine until theyâre pretty much all covered with bugs. Once we got rid of most of the flies/bugs, we kept a sticky pad in there for over 1 month and it still remained sticky. These pads are high quality! Itâs kind of satisfying when you hear a larger fly get caught, as it sounds like a machete when hitting the fan blades. Katchy catches all sorts of flies as shown in my pictures. Just donât touch the white area of the pad, stick to touching the blue âpull hereâ section or your fingers will get stuck. I'll always recommend Katchy!

Title: Are wondering how the Katchy Duo 2 in 1 work for Fungus Gnats? I can verify it is worth the money.
Review: This review is specifically for the Katchy Duo 2 in 1 (because Amazon combines reviews for similar products but you need to know for an exact one.)For the last few years since I had moved into my apartment. Every summer (It can get over 90F and 100F here) specifically about a couple weeks into summer and carries on until it starts getting cold outside in the fall and the insects die out because of the cold. I get these annoying little Fungus Gnats, or as I call them the drunken idiot of the Gnat species since they can't seem to fly a straight line and randomly bump into everything. But they especially love to hit you in the mouth and eyes. They are worse right after a rain. I think they are coming in through small cracks under the door as I think the pine tree needles around my apart are part of the reason they are so bad here since I do not have any plants in my apartment.I deliberated for a couple of summers about buying something like this because $50 is not cheap. The first couple of summers I tried every home remedy trick I could find. From apple cider in a jar with plastic wrap, to sticky fly catchers hanging in several places one in the room with me. I even tried spraying bug killer around my apartment entrances. All of this to no avail. Nothing seemed to work. These tiny pests make you want to rage as they constantly hit your eyes and land in your drink (I literally had to stop using a cup to drink from and had to start using a sealed container.) I was always getting angry as they hit me in the face every few minutes.So this summer just a couple weeks ago as it started. I decided it's time to give this a try. I had very little expectation this would actually work for Fungus Gnats as there aren't very many people mentioning their effectiveness. And it's the only bug that seems to get into my apartment aside from the occasional fly and spider. I thought, well this is likely a waste of money but nothing else seems to work.Wow, was I wrong. It is incredibly rare that will buy something I think is expensive and assume it won't work all that well. Only to be so incredibly happy with how well it works. While yes it does not catch every single gnat right away as new ones find their way into my apartment. They don't fly around long before making their way into this bug catcher.As for how loud it is. I would say on the lowest setting it is quite than my gaming PC fan. In a totally quiet room with nothing else running you can hear it. But it's quite enough that it is easy to ignore. On the highest setting, it's only slightly louder. But still, nowhere near that of a PC fan under load. I was leaving it on automatic setting so that it was only on at night and when I am not home (blackout curtains in the room it's in). But on my days off I set it to manual and leave it on.In the picture, I am adding. You can see the sticky trap on the first night, one week later, and 2 weeks later. To think all of those gnats would be constantly hitting you in the face if they were left to fly around in your home. After using it for 2 weeks now. I can not overstate how well I like this product and how well it works. It is definitely worth the money if you have an issue with Fungus Gnats every year like I do.As for how long this product will last or how long it takes for the fan bearing to wear and become louder. Only time will tell. If you are like me and are looking for something to help get rid of these pesky rage-inducing nuisances but were having trouble finding a review that explains how well it works for this pest. Then look no further as I hope my review helps you.And no, I am not a paid reviewer, nor was I given this. I try to be frugal which is why it took so long for me to risk spending money on something like this.

Title: Great for gnats, fruit flies, and drain flies
Review: I was having a terrible time with fruit flies, gnats, and drain flies. I tried some of the various fruit fly traps and baits but they really did not do very much to reduce the problem. I was looking around and discovered the Katchy Duo 2-in-1 Insect Trap and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did because it really works! It is very simple to set up and use EXCEPT for filling the liquid bait capsule on top. The instruction booklet just directs that it be filled with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap. The problem arises in trying to open the capsule and it is even worse to close the top and lock it in place (I am a senior citizen so my eyesight and hand strength are as good as they once were).To open the capsule, the top needs to be rotated about 3/8ths of an inch counter clockwise. To put the cap back on, it is very hard to see how position the top so it will go back on the capsule enabling it to be locked in place. After much frustration and spilled vinegar, I finally noticed there were tiny protrusions on the side of the top and on the side of the base of the capsule. They were very hard to see as I did not know to look for them. Once I found them, I marked them with a silver permanent marker that makes them easy to find and use. As can be seen in the photos (sorry for the poor quality), when taking the top off, hold the base steady and gently twist the top counter clockwise 3/8ths of an inch and then lift the top off. To put it back on, line up the marks and rotate the top clockwise 3/8ths of an inch.It is recommended to use the Katchy Duo in automatic mode. This will turn the Katchy on when the room is dark (this is the most effective time to attract and capture the files). The device is not designed to run 24 hours per day. If you do that, the units lifespan would be significantly reduced.The device works by attracting the flies (with the apple cider vinegar) and when the flies arrive, they are sucked in and blown down to the bottom of the Katchy where they are trapped by very sticky board. When the sticky board is full, simply replace it. I use the highest setting for both the light and the fan. For best results, the bait capsule should be refilled with apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap es needed. I have found that it needs to be rinsed and recharged every three days. The device will work if you do not refill it regularly but it will not be any where near as effective.

Review: Weâve tried several fruit fly traps and they either donât work and/or conk out quickly and have to toss them out. This one is great so far, has caught more fruit flies since weâve had it than all the others put together (yes, we have a LOT of fruit flies). Weâre almost rid of the damn things. I hope this device lasts and continues working.

Review: I thought I would try this Katchy, as the original did not have the pod to add apple cider. I was excited to find this extra feature, though it did not help. Katchy, for me, is disappointing and does not work.
