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: THE ULTIMATE FRUIT FLY TRAP - So, I had high hopes for this product. However, the sticky pads weren't effective against fruit flies, so it was a complete failure on the first day. On the second day, I decided to try a different approach. I took a small Tupperware lid, added some apple cider vinegar, and a drop of Dawn dish soap. BOOM! So many fruit flies disappeared. (I also lightly wrapped the mesh area at the bottom with a dish towel to ensure that the flies stayed trapped.) I believe I've created the most effective trap for fruit flies in the world! ## Features - Triple trapping power: a UV light, powerful fan, and sticky glue board combines to be an effective way for how to get rid of fruit flies, gnats, and other small bugs. No Zapper needed. - Use the trap indoors, close to insect-ridden fruit, plants or trash bin. Turn off the lights for best results. - No more ugly traps! Subtle and stylish; easily place in your home, kitchen, or office as a decorative piece. - Not effective on house flies. Is effective in killing fruit flies, gnats, and mosquitos. - Easy to use, choose between standard or low speed setting and leave it to work its magic, EPA Est.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Changed from 1 star to 5!

However, the sticky pads weren't effective against fruit flies, so it was a complete failure on the first day. On the second day, I decided to try a different approach. I took a small Tupperware lid, added some apple cider vinegar, and a drop of Dawn dish soap. BOOM! So many fruit flies disappeared. (I also lightly wrapped the mesh area at the bottom with a dish towel to ensure that the flies stayed trapped.) I believe I've created the most effective trap for fruit flies in the world! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by D***S on June 19, 2019* Arrived promptly, easy to use and easy to clean out. Fairly quiet operation-has the sound of a computer fan running on standard setting. We have an electric racket that we were using to take out the house flies but the drain flies were too small and flew through the wires for the most part. We have a large expensive bug trap but it is noisy and does not seem to attract the little flies, or they are too small to be zapped by it. Set up the Katchy bug trap and filled a glue trap within 24 hrs. from the greenhouse. Even got a couple house flies. The problem is not gone and we switched the sticky pad out when the numbers seemed to be increasing again. The sticky part wasn't 100% covered but it seems to max out at about 3/4 full. When I opened the machine several tiny flies flew out since they were able to hang out on covered areas. The new sticky pad immediately caught some but it has slowed down from the first round. Playing around with setting it under the overhang of a cabinet to see if a darker area is more effective. While the trap did not rid us of the problem it seems to be making a sizable dent in the issue. Most effective trap we have found for the tiny annoying things that are not attracted to fruit fly bait and are too small for a standard bug zapper. *Edit* Added a pic of the sticky paper after 3 days of 24 hr operation on standard setting. This amount of coverage is the point where new bugs fail to stick. Opened the trap outside to change the sticky paper. We put the trap back in the window, it seems to work better there for us. *2nd edit* still use two of these-one in the green house and one by the back door in spring/summer. This is particularly good for mosquitos, gnats, fungus flies, fruit flies and small moths. It will not lure 100% of them but does a good job taking down the population like in the greenhouse picture included. It is okay for house flies but many do not get stuck so if that is your biggest problem then this is not the trap for you. It will not hold anything bigger than a house fly for sure. The light began to fade the 2nd year so you might consider this a yearly purchase if you use it continuously like we do. Power outages will shut off the trap and you have to reset. ## Frequently Bought Together - Katchy Indoor Insect Trap - Catcher & Killer for Mosquitos, Gnats, Moths, Fruit Flies - Non-Zapper Traps for Inside Your Home - Catch Insects Indoors with Suction, Bug Light & Sticky Glue (Black) - Katchy Original and Midnight Glue Board Refills (8 Pack) - Indoor Insect Trap Glue Board Refills for Mosquito, Gnat, Moth, Fruit Flies - Non-Zapper Traps for Buzz-Free Home --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/60789016-katchy-manual-insect-trap-black](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/60789016-katchy-manual-insect-trap-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
