Duo – Indoor Flying Insect Trap with Scent Pod – Day & Night Effective – Mosquito, Fruit Fly, Gnat & Small Moth Catcher – Non-Zapper Trap with Blue UV Light & Fan Suction (Black)

Look at the many photos of how many flies and gnats are attached the sticky boards. I have two. First bought, the shorted out by water getting on the PCB board attached vertically on the side. maybe it was also the flies. Taken apart and with multimeter tried to troubleshoot and could not get it two work. So I bought a second one and kept is away from the kitchen (not happy but did not want to short it out, too. After second purchase and running awhile, I was determined to continue to try to fix the first. at least figure out the circuits and create a schematic. This time I managed to get it to work. only the fan would not adjust speed and worked only an manual. That's OK for me. I cleaned the board with 99% iso alcohol, and covered the PCB with Kapton tape and put it back into service. The one in the kitchen did not do very well katchy the flies, so I created a kind of DIY vortex with aluminum foil, see photos. It increase the brightness reflecting on the foil and works great! With the Kapton tape, I no longer have an issue shorting out the PCB board The second I repeatedly kept knocking off onto the floor and the upper light ring brok. It would not snap back on. Looking at the photo, I glued it back on with some heavy duty glue and taped it firmly secure until the glue dried. Now the sticky boards fill up with flies, the black one despite having an air scrubber directly above the Katchy. So the negative issues: 1. get water inside you may short out the PBD board. Solution DIY fix 2. In some instances the flies will fly right over and not get sucked in. Solution create a DIY vortex above the Katchy 3. Repeated dropping may pop the upper part of the light ring and will not snap back on. Solution glue back on with clamps, (or tape.) 4. Block the outer edges of the liguid cup, or the vinegar being acidic will get drawn down fast and get onto the PCB board. Solution tape or cover the outer holes. 5. don't try to save money and make your own DIY honey sticky board. in my case it just did not work and extra sticky boards are inexpensive. Both mine have been running no-stop for over a year and they catch fruit flies, gnats and even the house flies. I am happy with them, however you may have to do some DIY modifications, (Aluminum vortex and covering the outer edges of the liquids cup if using vinegar. And if fails or breaks some DIY skills will put them back into service

I bought three Catchy Duo fly traps and I’m really glad I did. I originally started with just one, but after learning how fruit flies behave, it became clear that one trap usually won’t wipe out an entire problem—especially if the flies are spread across multiple areas. Once I added two more and placed them in strategic spots, the difference was immediate. Setup is simple, and the traps have been very effective for me at catching fruit flies/gnats. I’ve seen other customers say they’ve caught tons of flies (someone mentioned over 100), and based on what I’ve seen in my own home, I believe it. A big key is using the right bait and keeping it fresh. Replacement sticky pads aren’t expensive, and as long as you refresh the bait and place the traps in optimized locations (kitchen, near fruit, trash, or wherever you’re seeing activity), these traps can help you eliminate a fruit fly problem quickly—just like they did for me. A couple quick tips based on what I’ve seen others mention: double-check your package contents for the sticky pads, and if your unit ever seems to stop working after a day or two, it’s worth testing a different outlet/location right away. Overall, when set up correctly, this has been a fantastic solution and I’d absolutely buy it again.

Katchy Duo Machine is easy to set up. NOTE: I've done a ton of research on gnats. Read how I've taken back control of my plant!!! I rated each category 1 to 5. 1 being WORST and 5 being EXCELLENT Bottom tray slids out easily. Sticky trap is sticky and catches what lands through the machine. 4/5 Not many, but some will escape. Bait Bowl is easy enough. It has 2 tiny notches that line up to verify its closed. *like a medicine bottle* In bright light, it's easy to see. I marked a silver permanent marker on the lines to see easier. I use apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish washing soap. 4/5 Light (as shown in Pic) is quite bright in complete darkness to attract flies. I only use highest setting. 5/5 Fan could be stronger. I only run it on highest fan setting. I'm trying to catch them! I don't have a severe case of gnats but enough to know I need something to keep them at bay. 4/5 Auto vs Manual Setting - Auto will turn machine on when there's no light in the surrounding area. During day, it's off. Towards the evening it turns back on. Manual - You have to remember to turn on and off. The machine is not meant to run for 24hrs a day. I did for a week straight with no issues. Now it's on Auto since I'm weening out remaining Gnats. Please keep in mind, I no longer have a severe case of gnats due to a combination of effort. LIFE CYCLE At 75ºF, eggs hatch in about 3 days, the larvae take approximately 10 days to develop into pupae, and about 4 days later the adults emerge. A generation of fungus gnats (from female to female) can be produced in about 17 days depending upon temperature. To kill them and their cycle - ** I use 4 sticky traps ** another vinegar trap ** I've extended watering my Mass Cane plant to help dry out soil. Over watering allows the adult gnats to have a proper breeding ground for their larvae. ** Everyday I've cleaned up the surrounding area. Vacuum and lysol'd all surfaces. Not the plants! ** Katchy Duo machine to attract and catch remaining adult gnats. Very Good Product! ** Another idea is taking out 2-3 inches of soil. Replace with new soil. Add a quarter inch to a half inch of sand on top of the soil to do the trick. Will help remove larvae and allow water to drain through sand, dry quickly and moisten soil. It's been 4 days, and I'm not getting attacked by those pesty gnats! I barely see any flying around. Update: 4/11/23 I've successfully have rid of all gnats. It worked so well, I've put unit away until I need it again. Good Luck on your Bug killing battle!! Click LIKE if this helps you :)

Bruyant et pas terrible. Lumière qui ne marche pas sur un côté…

The product looked pretty well made, but UK buyers beware! It comes with a totally useless Chinese/ USA plug! So I've had to order an adaptor plug that is suitable for the UK, very poor! If I order electrical items for the UK I expect they are delivered with a compatible charger.

This is an absolute life saver for our old farm house We live on an orchard so the fruit flies come out and every year we go to battle This this allows me to turn it on and catch them all night Works WONDERS it’s pretty gross to look at them all stuck to the tray in the morning lol definitely order more pads when you buy but I just got the knock off ones that fit and they work perfectly - just check sizes ! No more using cups with mixtures to catch them Use the little spot and stick fruit in to attract and clean it out in the morning We love love love this 10/10 recommend

Ik kan het niet direct gebruiken wat er zit een 12 volt adapter bij met een US stekker. Dat verwacht je niet voor een product dat je gewoon in de EU besteld!

very ineffective with house flies. killed only 7 in the span of 48 hours. way too expensive for what it is.
