Original Indoor Insect Trap: Bug, Fruit Fly, Gnat, Mosquito Killer - UV Light, Fan, Sticky Glue Boards Trap Even The Tiniest Flying Bugs - No Zapper (Decorative)

This thing actually works. Our cottage is in a wooded area and the bugs that come in when you open the door are a big problem. With Katchy turned on the bugs didn't bother me. I am ordering a second one for the guest room.

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.

I really do like this Flying Insect Trap! I definitely works! We had a huge problem with Fruit Flies as we always keep a good supply of fresh fruits in the house over processed snacks. Most fruit does better kept at room temperature and out in the open vs. in the refrigerator. We especially have to do this because certain fruits like Pineapples, Mangoes and certain Berries. Setup was done in less than five minutes. It's basically Plug-and-Play. Drop in an adhesive trap disc, fill the bait resevoir with Apple Cider Vinegar (it holds about 3-4 cap-fulls). Choose your On/Off setting (Manual or Auto, and the fan speed (This depends on the size of flying pest you're trying to capture. The larger the pest, the higher the fan speed you'll need to pull it into the trap. I watched it closesly, and at a medium fan speed, they were getting sucked into the trap when they came within an inch of the top of the trap.I found it very easy to maintain as the adhesive discs that trap the insects are very easy to change with no mess. If you run it for long periods, you will find that the vinegar will evaporate faster, and you will need to top off the resevoir a bit more frequently, but I didn't find that to be a problem.When we purchased this unit, we had a SERIOUS Fruit Fly problem! They were everywhere throughout the house. Both downstairs and upstairs because, well, THEY FLY! :-D I set it up the first night. By the end of the next day, the trap had captured so many flies that I had to change the adhesive trap. By Day 3, we were Fruit Fly FREE (and also down a couple of other unlucky passers-by).Why I'm Only Giving It Four StarsThe trap works! No Question about it! We are still using it with success after nearly a year. However, I did find that the LEDs are probably not the best quality. Initially, they were quite bright after dark. However, I noticed them becoming more and more dim after a couple the first two weeks of use. Now, they are still lit, but practically invisible. I tried to take a few photos for this review. However, the Ai photo enhancing capability on my phone keeps enhancing the light it does pick up, and makes it appear to be much brighter than it actually is.Other than that, I have no complaints. And, I do recommend it if you have a flying insect problem. Probably not your best choice if your "guests" are much larger than mosquitoes given the small size of the disc traps (4" dia.),

Worked fairly well and runs quietly. My complaint is being gouged for the specific stickies for this model which are a smaller size yet double the price.

Doesn't work!
