With customizable settings and an automatic mode, it adapts to your environment and schedule, all wrapped in a sleek black design perfect for modern homes and offices. ## Description 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. Review: Works-note, houseflies will laugh at it but. The nitt-ees and gnat-ees, are GONE! (edited update) - 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. 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 :) ## Features - 2-IN-1 INSECT TRAP: Lures bugs in with a 360-degree ring light and removable pod for liquid bait.

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: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GKG19MV Sincerely, 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works-note, houseflies will laugh at it but.

Happy bug hunting :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for gnats, fruit flies, and drain flies *by B***. on August 9, 2023* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Katchy Duo Indoor Insect Trap with Scent Pod - Fan Powered with UV Light - Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors - for Fruit Flies, Gnats, Mosquitoes, Moths (Black) - Katchy Indoor Fly Trap - Catcher & Killer for Mosquito, Gnat, Moth, Fruit Flies - Non-Zapper Traps for Buzz-Free Home (8-Pack Glue Boards for Duo Model, White) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/371454011-katchy-duo-indoor-flying-insect-trap-with-scent-pod-day](https://www.desertcart.be/products/371454011-katchy-duo-indoor-flying-insect-trap-with-scent-pod-day) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
