KATCHY Original Indoor Insect Trap – Fan-Powered UV Fruit Fly & Gnat Catcher, Black, 2-Speed Quiet Operation

The KATCHY Original Indoor Insect Trap is a compact, fan-powered UV light device that lures and captures fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes and other small indoor pests onto a sticky glue board—without zapping.

Designed for kitchens, indoor plants, offices, and other living spaces, this discreet black trap uses a combination of UV light, airflow, and adhesive to reduce small flying insects where they breed and gather. It’s cordless-friendly, easy to set up, and blends into modern interiors while offering two fan-speed settings for different infestations.

How does the KATCHY trap attract and capture small flying insects?

The trap uses a three-part approach: a UV LED to draw insects, a fan to pull them into the chamber, and a replaceable glue board to secure them. This method is silent and avoids electric zapping, making it suitable for indoor use around food and people.

• UV light mimics natural attractants for fruit flies, gnats, moths, and mosquitoes.
• Fan creates a steady airflow that pulls insects away from surfaces and into the trap.
• Glue board inside holds insects so they cannot escape or create a mess.
• Two speed settings adjust capture power and noise level.

Where should I place the trap for best results?

Position the trap near the source of the infestation—fruit bowls, plant areas, trash cans or sink drains—and turn off bright lights for maximum attraction. Place it on countertops, shelves, or near seating areas; the compact footprint fits most home and office spaces.

• Set within 3–6 feet of the insect-prone area for optimal capture range.
• Avoid direct sunlight and bright overhead lights to increase UV contrast.
• Keep it level and away from strong drafts that could reduce fan efficiency.
• Use multiple units for larger or multi-room infestations.

Is the KATCHY trap safe and easy to maintain?

Yes—there’s no electricity arc or chemical spray involved. Maintenance is limited to swapping out the glue board and wiping the exterior. The device runs quietly and includes an EPA establishment number for manufacturing reference.

• Replace glue boards as they fill—no messy cleanups required.
• Wipe the housing with a damp cloth; never submerge the device.
• Choose low fan speed in occupied rooms for quieter operation.
• EPA Est. Numb.: 93372-CHN-1 provided for regulatory tracking.

What insects will it control, and what should I not expect?

The KATCHY trap is effective against fruit flies, fungus gnats, small moths, and many mosquitoes indoors. It is not designed to eliminate larger house flies or address outdoor swarms—those require different solutions.

• Effective: fruit flies, gnats, small indoor mosquitoes, moths.
• Not effective: large house flies and heavy outdoor infestations.
• Best used as part of sanitation: remove breeding sources for long-term control.
• Works silently and without chemical sprays, suitable for kitchens and living rooms.
