Where to place your gecko

Tips For the Best Location

  • Position the insect killer away from barbecues and areas of human activity. If it is placed too close, insects may be drawn toward you before reaching the device
  • Place the unit away from other light sources, as competing lights can distract insects from the zapper.
  • Ensure the zapper is not obstructed by walls or dense furniture; it needs to remain visible to insects for optimal effectiveness.
  • Install or hang the unit at a height of approximately 2.5 metres.

Operating Guidance 

Mosquitoes are most active from dusk and become less active after sunrise. For best results, switch on the unit one to two hours before sunset. 

For improved longterm performance, consider running the device continuously (24/7) to catch insects active at different times and help reduce the surrounding mosquito population.
