I purchased a scratchNdent and found my item had been used and slightly damaged, the top swirl grill was missing a small piece, and one of the sticky disks had been put into the unit already with a gnat stuck to it. Okay. I plugged it in, pushed one of the setting buttons (standard) and the light came on and the little fan makes a little bit of breeze, but wet a finger and hold it at the bottom and it is breezing out. It is also bigger than I expected, but I have such a tiny bug issue in this place, I don't care as long as it works. Something was mentioned about it works better in lower light levels. So. I plugged it in and set it up in a place I have been having issues. Four hours later, I pick it up to look down in. There's a lot more than one gnat on the mat already. It's doing the job. Great. The local little winged wildlife has resisted: letting the pots dry out good between waterings, watering with a mix of hydrogen peroxide and water, top mulching the pots, and the yellow sticky trap things. This seems to be vacuuming them up. YAY! If this works out I will get a couple more as I have plants in a few areas in my house. Trust me, I have at least six different microbugs including fruit flies, fungus gnats (arrgh!), a different gnat, and not sure exactly but a few are like tiny tiny various sorts of beetles... keeping the swarms down would be wonderful, without killing my plants. I will update this as it goes.. The picture isn't quite truelight because it is fairly dark in there, but. That's what it sorta looks like ON in the dark. To the right that is a matte BLACK surface that it's reflecting off of. Edit: my house is large, my buggie collection is way down on one end of the house where I have my first one, but. I just got a second one, also scratchNdent, to deal with the other end. I seen where someone complained that it is a fly-spa. This will NOT work on houseflies. They are too big and strong to be whooshed down onto the sticky pad. There are other ones built ($60-80) as wall sconces that WILL do the houseflies. This isn't built for that. However all the assorted little gnats and such are collecting at alarming rates on my sticky pads. It is nice to sit at my computer in the evening and not kill at least a dozen tiny assorted buggies. And my fungus gnat problem that came in with some potting soil mix, is pretty much gone. 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. I have one room where the booth and most of my houseplants live (plus my spring starts as I go into that season as I update this) and the first one is outside the grow booth on the floor where it clears that room pretty well. Second one installed near the kitchen sink and other bathroom on other end of house, as there is a persistent problem there. I don't think it will catch sewer flies but those tend to respond to hot vinegar flushed through a running disposal with hot sink water, then follow with a cut up lemon and some icecubes run through the disposer. I will let you know if I get those little buggers back and if it can catch one or not. On both I am turning them off during the day and on after dark, as that is when the UV light seems to be the most visible to the little winged pests. I also want to see if the kitchen one will draw spiders. There are a few kinds that are drawn to dead prey, and though I have sticky traps for them, if this will be able to stick one down or not if it comes to check it out. Another thing I will update. Edit update. Plant area one is catching mostly gnats, vatloads of them. Kitchen has only a few, but is getting the fruit flies from the bananas. I put spider traps near both and the kitchen catch is up. Could not be happier with both Katchys. Have spring bedding and flower starts going and a new grow in the tent. I’ve put one in the tent a few times and no gnattie problem (last time will be day/ night 18 so as not to mess up auto blooming). No chemicals. Still worth the price. Replacing the sticky pads is super easy too. Edit: very late fall. We are the house servants of two mixed breed part Persian purries. The grey and white one in particular has very fine hair and a very full coat despite daily brushing/grooming. So we have slightly pre-used fur all over. Plus lots of house dust-joys of where we live. 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). Still catching the tiniest no-see-ums, fungus gnats and fruit flies. With fall garden harvest, the fruit flies moved in. I added a capful of apple cider taped off with a few holes next to the kitchen one, and it was literally carpeted with fruit flies in the bottom. The plants that came in brought micro buggies, and those numbers are quickly dropping as well. A Katchy doesn’t instantly get your population but in days you should have a disgusting collection on the bottom pad… I purchased a no- zap UV/sticky pad catcher meant for houseflies and installed over the toilet at the ceiling. It also does the job with a little time. So. Katchy do their job well, are easy to use and maintain, and paired with a true flycatcher, really helps keep you unbothered. $40 well spent.

I've had this for just under 5 years. It is amazing. I will provide my opinion on some of the things I have heard people complain about. 1. Too bright at night- NO IT'S NOT. The light is there to attract the little gnats. If the light is too bright for you at night, don't put it where it will disturb you. 2. Sticky pad not sticky enough. YES IT IS. I can literally open the door and see the gnats trying to free themselves from the sticky pad. The pad is so sticky, just by them landing on it, they can no longer move. Imagine their tiny little legs, probably the size if a hair strand, can get so stuck to the pad and try to escape without success. Yes, once in a blue moon, a gnat might be able to break free but then they just die from not eating. They can't get out once they are in. On rare occasions, one will fly away if you open the door and he hasn't landed yet but I can say that the entire bottom is covered in dead gnats and that is when I change the "board" as they call it. One pad can and will last for months. The stickiness doesn't go away as time goes on. Nothing dries up. 3. Too expensive. NOT IT'S NOT. I paid $6 more for this unit then it cost today. The price has literally gone down. Depending on how important it is for you to control the fruit flies or fungus gnats, will determine what it is worth to you. MY ONLY COMPLAINT: The manufacturer needs to make this unit easier to clean. You can take it apart to get to the fan but it is probably a good 45 minute job to break the unit down to the fan area. I've cleaned mine once. No matter how dusty the fan blades get, it still always works and always attracts the gnats. It will even suck in a big house fly or moth on occasion. Summary - I'm not sure why this is labeled as a "frequently returned item". Define frequent. When there are 17,000 reviews with an average of 4 starts, seems like some really hate it and some really love it. It really depends on your situation. I just purchased a 2nd one yesterday. If one works great, 2 will be phenomenal! I am giving 5 starts because of it's effectiveness. Based on what I paid and how long it has lasted, so far it has only cost $.02 cents per day. WELL WORTH IT!

I live in an area where, apparently, flies and fruit flies/gnats are just part of life. I HATE them!!! I'm trying all the things, including this. After 2 weeks, it caught a good many of these annoying things (see pics). However, this is not "the answer" to the entire issue. Has it reduced the number of bugs? Yeah. Has it eradicated the issue? No. There was a situation that gave a sudden rise to these things in my house and I've been fighting them for days. I also put bleach in/on all the water source areas (sinks, bathtubs) in my house. Anytime someone leaves a door open, flies get in as well, so I'm always fighting those. In the first week I had this, it didn't catch flies at all. The ones it caught were just in the last couple days, so I guess it works on them as well. But I've also been killing a TON of them - way more than this machine caught. The gnats are not *gone* and there are still the occasional flies. I end up doing most of the work to get rid of these things and they are STILL not gone. Does it catch some? Yeah, and that's nice. But don't buy this thinking it will solve the problem. The pics are after a couple weeks of leaving this thing on ALL day long! I have put it in kitchen and near a window. Both were about the same number caught. I'm glad to have help in the fight against these horrible things, but it has not solved the issue. It does seem to be more directed at gnats, than other bugs. Which is fine. But don't expect this to catch any and all bugs, or to get rid of them entirely. I'm told I don't have a lot of these bugs in my house (the pics beg to differ!), but I honestly don't see a massive difference. Less? Yeah. But get a hot day and suddenly there is zero difference. They're still thriving, somehow, no matter how much I clean and bleach and make sure nothing is left out, change the rubbish bins often, even keep food in the fridge well and tightly covered/wrapped. I don't even buy fruit for my counter any more. I'm not mad, just a little disappointed that it hasn't solved the issue I bought it for. But I'll accept the help in this war on these vile bugs.

I really like these. I was referenced to them by my leasing manager as she had one under her desk. And the only way I know that is because I was under the desk too. Wink, wink. I'm kidding. What I mean was she had several in her office and just recommended them because they worked. And so I bought them and I've never looked back. Mainly because my neck is injured and I can't look back. And now for some buzzwords, there's no odor of the dying bugs, it's fairly bright, although the black light portion of the higher setting tends to fade overnight. So don't always run it on high. Let's see, the other idea here I've been suggesting to talk about is removability, so removability is good, meaning you can change the bug sticky plate out fairly easy, I imagine. The value for the money, I think they're a little expensive, because it's just a fan, but in a light, but whatever, also safety. And you can have these around your kids because it's not going to electrocute them. Also the effectiveness, it's highly effective, sucks in all kinds of stuff, I got flies, mosquitoes, gnats, also my sister is stuck to it, so that was weird. I don't know how she got close enough to get sucked in like that, but I did get her off of the sticky pad easily, so very effective. Let's hope she didn't do it again.

TL;DR - IT WORKS REALLY WELL! Unbelievably well. If you have problems with small bugs, just get this! Because we live in Florida, my husband and I have to deal with fruit flies and mosquitos in our house, a lot. We keep the house pretty dark too, rarely turning on overhead lights, so the bugs are attracted to our computer screens, buzzing around our heads and in front of our faces. In the past, we dealt with this problem by making a "Fly Cup" - a Solo Cup with fly paper wrapped around the top, and filled halfway with apple cider vinegar and a touch of soap. It works well, but it's obnoxious to make (fly paper glue on everything), and you have to be careful to never let it touch anything (fly paper glue sticks to everything), or knock it over, and you eventually have to toss it once the fly paper glue drips down the side of the cup. So while it works, it's not a great solution. I didn't want a "bug zapper" either, because we have ferrets, and I wanted something that couldn't possibly harm them, should they manage to get up on the counter or desk. Additionally, because bug zappers basically "explode" the insects, they send pathogens into the air, and can also sometimes be a fire hazard. The Katchy Bug Trap is the best possible solution! The glue area is protected by the "cage" at the bottom of the device, you can't accidentally bump the thing and have it stick to you. It's safe, convenient, and easy to use. The instruction booklet said the device is "not for continuous use." It works so well, we wanted to keep one running for more hours per day, so we immediately turned around and bought a second one. We keep one running in either the kitchen or bathroom in the evening (from sunset until we go to bed at 2-3am), and then when we go to bed we turn the first one off, and turn on a second one in our office until we get up. As you can see from the photos, this thing gets to work fast, and keeps working for weeks! The traps themselves came with four glue pads each. The glue pad refills seem to disappear off Amazon from time to time, but then Katchy sells them again. So when they became available again, we got an 8-pack refill (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKG19MV/), which we haven't needed to use yet. We are still on the first glue pad for each, so we haven't even gone through what came with them yet. We also bought a 20-pack of Kensizer glue boards (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KRRJT5J/). I traced one of Katchy's glue pads onto some styrofoam, and then cut it out so I can use it as a pattern to make circles in the Kensizer pads. Again, I haven't had to do this yet, but other reviews here say the technique works just fine. The effect of having the UV light is noticeable. We're having repairs done on the house right now, so sometimes people leave the door open and a bunch of bugs make it in. My husband and I then notice them swarming our heads and computer monitors again. We turn on Katchy, and the UV light immediately attracts all of the bugs and gets them away from us. PLEASE NOTE: the area hit by the UV light is pretty broad. I do NOT recommend running Katchy while you're sitting right next to it. Do it for long enough and you are surely likely to start getting burned. It *is* a UV light, after all. Much better to put Katchy in another room that you don't plan to spend a lot of time in while it's running. I do sometimes prepare food in the kitchen while Katchy is running, but that's only for roughly an hour, and I'm all over the kitchen at the time, not sitting directly next to it. The one in our office is on my husband's desk, but we only run it after we both go to bed. Again, I cannot stress how well this thing works. I am SO GLAD we found it!

Works better than expected! I initially only bought one Katchy, just to see how well it was going to work, and now I own 3 of them!!! Absolutely LOVE this product! I started off with the black “automatic” Katchy. This one is a little more expensive since it has an automatic setting that allows the machine to turn itself on when it gets dark at night and to turn itself off when it gets light out. So it’s basically only running at night when you’re sleeping and it’s off during the day. The fan noise is definitely noticeable, but not super loud. I also have 2 other Katchy’s that are a little less expensive than the automatic one, and they have to be manually turned on. However, a nice feature that I like with that version is that there’s a “standard” fan speed (and the light is brighter) and then there’s a “low” fan speed (and the light is dimmer). I definitely like the benefits of both models for different reasons. So you’ll want to figure out where you’re going to place your Katchy and what features are best for your situation. My automatic Katchy sits closest to my kitchen and sunroom where 90% of my plants live and most of the fungus gnats/fruit flies come from. My family room is open to this area too and the noise from the Katchy is barely noticeable. I leave all of my Katchy’s run 24/7, but I have and will use the automatic feature from time to time. The fan speed and light brightness is not adjustable with the “automatic “ version. Either it’s running all the time or it’s set to come on only at night. The other 2 Katchy’s that I have are the manual ones that you have to turn on and set the fan speed to “standard” or “low” and then turn it off yourself when you don’t want it running. I have 1 in my formal living room where I have a few plants and then 1 in the master bedroom where there’s also a few plants. The benefits to using the manual Katchy is that I can set it to the low setting and the fan noise and light brightness are significantly lower and not going to bother you if you’re relaxing or trying to sleep. The pictures provided show the sticky pads after about 2 weeks. The one with the most bugs is from the Katchy that sits next to my kitchen and sunroom where I have 20+ plants. And then the picture of the pad with the fewer bugs is from the Katchy in my formal living room. (Where I have 3 plants) I did not include a picture of the bedroom Katchy since I only got it just a few days ago. ;) I hope this information helps and I HIGHLY recommend this product. As you can see, it not only caught the pesky fungus gnats, but it also caught a few other things too. I am amazed at how many bugs this thing catches from week to week. I had an annoying gnat problem because of my house plants but I would have NEVER in my wildest dreams imagined that I would be throwing away pads that look like this every few weeks. It’s amazing!

I bought this because we've suddenly had tons of fruit flies in our kitchen this year and needed something to help get rid of them. I got this over some other options because I figured over time it would be cheaper to refill than some of the alternatives that cost less upfront and it looks a little nicer and has a similar look to some of our other technology items so I thought it wouldn't look as much like a bug trap. The first thing I noticed was that it was quite a bit bigger than I expected so it sticks out no matter what. Turning it on, the light felt too dim to have much of an affect and it was a little frustrating watching a fruit fly land on the side and then just fly away. Then reading through the instructions it specifically says that it's not designed to run 24/7 and really only works at night with the lights out. Kind of a big factor when comparing against some of the other options that work based on smell. It also has to be plugged in to work and the location of the plug is directly on the side in the middle of the machine so it sticks out like a sore thumb (especially the black cable that came with the white machine). If you look VERY closely at the pictures and videos you can see the plug but they go out of their way to hide the cord as much as possible in the marketing materials. This also limits your ability to put it close to whatever the bugs are attracted to if you don't have an outlet right there. I gave it 3-stars because I think I would choose another option if I didn't already buy this but if you follow the instructions and place it near whatever the bugs are attracted to and run it only at night when the rest of the lights are out, it does what it's supposed to do during that time period.

After my previous review, I decided to give the Katchy another shot, but this time I discovered a trick that significantly improved the results. I previously had the Katchy in open areas, and at night we would keep a night light on in the same area, but this time I placed it near a (darker) corner where the UV light can reflect off of the (light colored) walls. It also works better when I turn off the night light. After making the adjustment, it catches a lot more; gnats, mosquitos, and even the occasional may fly. ----- Original Review: I did not have much success with this product. I tried using it for a couple of months and caught a few gnats and one mosquito. I was hoping the ultraviolet light from under the handle would attract bugs, but I wonder if the light it isn't powerful or big enough, or maybe the light is the wrong frequency (so bugs aren't very attracted to it). It might work better if you place the product right next to a basket of fruit or an area that is already infested with small flying bugs. I set it in an open and highly visible area of our kitchen, but the bugs seem to avoid it. I even placed it in confined areas with multiple mosquitos over multiple nights, and it didn't catch any! When I did this test, I was traveling at an area where the mosquitos were slightly larger than typical, so I have to wonder if the intake grill is too small or the fan wasn't powerful enough for medium/large sized mosquitos - it seems like it would work best for very small flying bugs like gnats. Overall, I do like the size and elegant design of the product, it is also very quiet, but unfortunately it did a poor job at catching anything. Perhaps the other model(s) work better.
