## Description

desertcart.com : Katchy Flying Insect Trap Indoor – Catcher & Killer for Mosquito, Fruit Fly, Gnat & Small Moth – Non-Zapper with Suction & Blue Light – Ideal for Indoor Spaces, Kitchen & Plants (Original, Black) : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Changed from 1 star to 5! It works VERY well!! - The item arrived broken :( I am SUPREMELY disappointed because I was so excited at the thought of having an effective method to combat my nemesis that is the mischievously thriving fruit fly colony which plagues me, and this item arrived this morning broken. :( The blades of the fan internally are not connected and are banging about inside. Though I don't normally pay full price for things unless necessary (I either wait for a good sale or use applicable coupons/promo codes), I took the plunge on this purchase due to my need for a competent and efficient resolve combined with it's GLOWING reviews! First, I had to wait 9 days to receive the item, which I wasn't happy about, but not upset either. I have literally been checking tracking daily and looking forward to it's arrival. Then it arrives *HAPPY DAY*. I opened the package, removed the unit (felt/heard something odd but didn't think too much of it at that moment), reviewed the directions, plugged it in and although the light came on, the fan did not. I thought maybe I need to press a particular button or what-have-you, so I re-read the directions. Nope, it should be automatic. So I then began inspecting the unit and realized the fan blades were not connected. I then even looked for a way to open the unit without busting it so that I can fix it myself (I'm incredibly handy and that's how much I wanted this to work!). No go. I could probably open it up, but then it wouldn't be returnable. Ok, so THEN I go to the item link on desertcart and as of earlier today, it said "This item is currently unavailable" followed by something to the effect of 'and we don't know if or when it will become available'. I attempted to contact the seller to no avail. My only viable option was and is to return it. I don't want to return it for a refund or leave a bad review. Rather, I want the working unit I paid and patiently waited for. Errrrr. I decided to go about my day knowing I'd come back to this later and here I am. ... I pull the item up this evening, it is in fact available again, but instead of the $39.79 price I paid 9 days ago, it is right now (6/15/2018) listed at $54.49. Whaaaa?? So I am leaving this review in hopes that the seller will contact me and make good on my purchase, at which point I would update my review to reflect the working conditions of this seemingly enigmatic device. In summary, this 1 star review encompasses only that the item arrived broken and therefore did not operate as intended. A working unit may very well be worthy of all it's positive reviews. And maaaaybe even the new $54.49 price. I hope I am a unique case. I also hope this review was of help to you. Update 6/17/18: The seller contacted me today apologizing for my inconvenience and explaining that desertcart is responsible for the damage done during the shipping of this product. I responded immediately that I appreciate the response and although I completely understand that desertcart assumes the shipping responsibility, I am also concerned that I cannot repurchase a working unit at the price I paid 2 weeks ago. I inquired how this can be rectified, stating that I fully intend to update my review according to their level of service and the actual benefits of a working unit. And now I await their response. Honestly, if I have to repurchase at the higher price, I won't and I'll leave my review star at 1. It's not the price as much as the principle. Products can be damaged in shipping, that's understandable. But the seller is also responsible for commitment. So I'm really hoping they come through with a reasonable resolve that honors the price I paid for a working unit. I'll keep you posted. Update 7/1/18: The seller not only replaced my originally bought unit, but included extras as well. They have been extremely diligent in correspondence and I can honestly say that I am not only satisfied, but impressed. With that said, I would not have altered my review to 5 stars for customer service alone. ...these units works amazingly! The home I live in was built in 1924 and does not sport insulation the way a new home would. So pests are/can be/were a problem. The units do in fact attract flying things very well! The sticky pad of results had 2 bugs I didn't know I had and don't recognize. I am extremely happy with my purchase! And may very well buy more. The unit itself is aesthetically pleasing and is relatively quiet. Night is the best time for results since that's when it's darkest and the bugs can 'see' the light. The blue light transitions in brightness, which is even more effective in attracting it's prey. I'm changing my review from a 1 star to a 5 star. I saw other reviews stating it was a flimsy design. I do get what they're saying, but how thick must this unit be to rectify that?? It works as intended and looks good doing it. The bottom is easy to open to check and/or replace the sticky pad. There are only 2 buttons so it's super easy to operate. And it doesn't look like a bug catcher at all. No one would know. So I feel it's 'flimsiness' (is that a word?) is of no concern. As long as it performs, who cares how heavy or thick it is? This is 5 stars from someone who had to work for it. I hope this review helped you! Happy bug hunting :)
Review: Incredibly Effective - Eliminates Fruit Flies & Gnats - This Katchy flying insect trap has been a total game changer for dealing with fruit flies and gnats in my home. The combination of UV light, fan, and sticky glue board creates an incredibly effective trapping system. Setup is simple - just plug it in and turn it on. The UV light attracts insects naturally without chemicals or odors. Once attracted, the fan sucks them down onto the sticky board where they're trapped. I've been amazed at how many fruit flies this catches within hours of setting it up. The design is sleek and modern - doesn't look like a typical bug trap. It's quiet enough to run continuously without being distracting. Perfect for kitchens, offices, or anywhere you have flying pest issues. The sticky boards are easy to replace when full. I appreciate the chemical-free approach that's safe around food and family. The compact size fits on countertops or shelves without taking up much space. Energy efficient to run 24/7. This has virtually eliminated fruit fly problems in my kitchen. For anyone dealing with annoying flying insects, this delivers outstanding results. Highly effective and well-designed product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: fan seems to be disconnected.  should this be one solid piece or is it broken?**
A: Thank you for telling us about this!

If the fan is disconnected, then you have received a broken unit. We recently had a small manufacturing error and defective units were accidentally sent to Amazon. 

Please contact us on Amazon and we will send you a new trap right away!

We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and I hope to make it up to you! :)

Sincerely,
Helena
KATCHY Support Manager

**Q: Where do I find replacement glue pads?**
A: I used one of the replacement glue pads as a template on basic yellow sticky traps. Two discs can be cut from one sheet, and has the advantage of being double sided. Seemed to work just as well. MUCH less expensive and more readily available than the Katchy glue boards.

Please understand that my problem was with fungus gnats. If you problem is with some other type of insect, your milage may vary.

**Q: Hi, this product came with glue boards? or I need to buy it separately**
A: Thank you for the question! :)

All the KATCHY insect traps come with 4 glue boards already included in the package. Should you run out of them after some use, we sell replacements on Amazon here:

Sandra
KATCHY Support Manager

**Q: How does this product work with no seeums?**
A: Works awesome for no seeums believe me you won’t regret buying one. I love mine. As a matter of fact I haven’t had one of them fly by my ear since my purchase. Had it about a year and a half.

### ⭐ Fraudulent product which is underpowered, has a useless light, and lacks adhesion to catch pests!
*by K***R on July 28, 2022*

I am embarrassed to have purchased this device and to have fallen for the false advertising and to not have read the negative reviews before buying. Firstly, the fan power is not enough to catch fruit flies or gnats. How do I know this? After 3 days of not catching anything, by my sink, where there was an infestation of fungus gnats, I plugged the Katchy into a portable battery pack and tried to manually catch the ones hanging out on the walls... unless I pushed the device fan right up to a pest, there wasn't enough air-draw to pull in anything! I am serious, the gnats could resist flying into the device unless I managed to get them within 1/2inch from the fan... that is complete craziness! Why didn't they install a more powerful fan? Forget using low power, much less the normal setting... seriously underpowered! The fan is absolutely useless. Secondly, the purple light... oh my don't even get me started, even as the only light source in the entire house at night and even left on all day, no gnats or fruit flies are attracted to it. It's obviously not the right frequency to attract insects even if the fan was powerful enough to pull in the pests. As if not bad enough, then Thirdly, I realized the "super sticky" circles at the base of the Katchy are not nearly tacky enough to capture anything. Other people have called them out on this, but I didn't realize until they arrived how bad they are. Fourthly, Did you know Katchy's advertising is photoshopped? Ya, the sticky circles they show hundreds of gnats stuck to are doctored photos. I've run the Katchy for nearly a week 24/7 and caught only single moth and two gnats I manually caught... despite a massive gnat infestation. The sticky circles are such a waste of money... and I bought an extra set with the device anticipating needing more! Fifthly, did you know Katchy has been offering people $ to remove their negative reviews of the product?! OMG... how is that ok? Why hasn't Amazon stepped in and killed this product? I am just so disappointed. I thought the people who advertised Katchy on YouTube seemed a little unreliable, most acknowledge there are better solutions. Well I tried everything... here's a ranking of solutions for how I have finally gotten rid of my fungus gnat infestation: 1) I repotted all my house plants after I literally took a garden hose and rinsed off all the plant roots and pots completely. After I washed everything thoroughly, I then watered with "Mosquito Bites tea" that I made per online how-to videos. I also used transparent window sticky traps. After three days, all the adult bugs were captured, and all the larvae appear to be dead and not hatching anymore. That's it... that's all I had to do... meanwhile I kept the freakin Katchy device running in the background and ya, it did nothing, even with a few pieces of fresh lemon and orange put on the sticky circles. Do yourself a huge favor, don't purchase this thing. The creators took a concept which would probably work and went cheap on the manufacture of it in every respect and they are laughing to the bank making a fortune over charging for a device that doesn't work. They need to put a real UV lamp in it, double the fan power, and use much more powerful adhesive before this device has any hope. I sincerely hope this review helps you make the right decision.
