Does a Bug Zapper Have to Be Hung High? An In-Depth Look

Customers see best results when they match zapper height to where they notice the most bugs. Usually 4-6 ft for biting insects near seating areas.

Some mosquitoes actually fly lower when detecting CO2 (from humans). That’s why lower placements often work better for pest species that bite people.

we recommend 6 feet because our testing showed 72% more mosquito captures at that height versus 8 feet. @MouseHater22 is right about flight paths!
