Katchy is a classy looking bug trap and works on killing fungus gnats as well as fruit flies and other flying insects. But does it work better than ugly yellow sticky traps? This video reviews the Katchy Indoor Insect Trap with and a side by side comparison of the Katchy indoor insect trap and Yellow Sticky Glue Boards.

Need to check mousetrap monday. Hahaha. Need a healthy amphibian and reptilian population. Lizards.
Great, thanks! Tired of all the yellow traps, but as you say, they do work!
I bought a Sundew (Drosera Capensis) to deal with a fungus gnat issue – worked a treat.
i use a circulating fan in my grow station. i wonder if it will interfere with katchy's ability to suck gnats in? any idea? tks.
Cool new to hydroponics. I'll give try it out.
Thanks Tikki O. Fungus gnats drive me nuts and I have a lot that came in with winter-forcing bulbs I have indoors. I have been using lots of the yellow stickies that look like butterflies. I will try the venus flytrap idea and maybe the Katchy if needed. Much thanks for the info.
I just bought this device via the link but mine does not have the auto setting but instead has a low or high setting. So, it will be a manual on/off, but no big deal. Just a head's up to others who order. You may get a different model/style than you expect.
good video. i thought about getting one before butt defiteley will get one now for my grow tent.
Thanks for telling us about this. Fortunately since I started growing veggies and herbs indoors I am glad to say I haven't had any trouble with gnats. But with the possibility I am glad you informed us here about this option to deal with them.
I’m sold!!
Thanks for the great review. Using both would be best: the Katchy at night and yellow sticky paper during the day.

Great for gnats and fruit flies and even mosquitoes. Terrible for the larger house flies.
Thanks for the video!
I’m so tired of using a fly swatter I think I’m gonna purchase one if these myself.
How much will you spend on sticky pads? And WHERE do you get them?
nice intro. im sold on the katchy. sick and tired of fungus gnats. and i want to keep my plants.
I've found sticky traps to work really well.
Thank you! What about the sound of this machine? Is it loud?
Has anyone here tried the yellow pads for catching (and holding) roaches that pass onto it?
I wonder if you put a uv bulb next to the yellow tape it would lure them toward the yellow tape?
