Purpose |
They are specifically designed for use in enclosed spaces, such as homes and offices. |

Durability |
Indoor bug zappers are constructed with lighter materials, suitable for indoor conditions where there is less wear and tear. |

Tips for Installation and Maintenance
When setting up your mosquito zapper, placement is key to ensuring its effectiveness and minimizing disruptions. For an outdoor fly zapper, it's best to hang it near the perimeter of your yard, away from seating areas, at a height of about 5 to 7 feet off the ground. Ideally, 15 to 20 feet away from where you usually spend time outdoors.
This distance is important because when insects hit the wire grid, they often get vaporized, and you don't want little bug body parts flying around near your dining areas, outdoor kitchens, or seating spaces.
Another important consideration is access to a power source. Since your device needs to be plugged in, it's ideal to hang it near an electrical outlet. If you don't have a suitable spot near an outlet, you can use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect it to the power source. Just be mindful of where the extension cord runs, as it can pose a tripping hazard or risk being cut by your lawn mower.
Regular cleaning and maintenance is necessary as it ensure optimal performance. Periodically check for debris, dead insects, and malfunctions, and clean the units according to the maker's instructions to prolong their usefulness.
