The first ever AI helper for all the nasty pests
Buzzy is GotchaPest's friendly in-app AI Trap Buddy — the first of its kind in the market. Buzzy lives inside the app and becomes your helper for every nasty pest you're up against: flies, wasps, fruit flies, moths, and more. Think of Buzzy as the knowledgeable neighbour who's been trapping for years — warm, encouraging, and genuinely helpful.
Ask Buzzy anything about traps, bait, troubleshooting, or where things are in the app — or snap a photo of a pest and Buzzy will identify it for you. Every answer is grounded in GotchaPest's verified data, so you're getting real, NZ-accurate help — never guesswork.
What Buzzy helps with
From the first trap you hang to the tricky catches down the line — Buzzy's got your back.
Trap setup & placement
Which trap for which pest, where to hang it, how high, and what to avoid — like keeping wasp traps well away from beehives.
Bait & lure recipes
What bait to use for wasps, fruit flies, or house flies, matched to the NZ season — from the official Bait & Lure Guide plus community recipes.
Troubleshooting
