Frequently Asked Questions
“How does an ZFITEI bug zapper work?”
The zapper lures insects with its ultra-violet light. Insects are electrocuted on contact with a high voltage grid surrounding the lamp. Dead insects will then drop into the in-built catcher tray.
“Can an ZFITEI Bug Zapper be left outdoors”
Yes, And Ensure any power connections are weatherproof.
“What insects are attracted?”
ZFITEI Zappers are primarily designed to attract mosquitoes. Moths and other insects commonly attracted to light will also be drawn towards the zapper.
“When should I switch my zapper on?”
Mosquitoes are most active from dusk and become less active again after sunrise. For best effect, switch on the unit an hour or two before sunset. Leaving the unit on overnight may help reduce any surrounding mosquito populations.
“Do ZFITEI Zappers make a lot of noise?”
When bugs hit the high voltage grid, a cracking noise will be heard. The noise level will generally depend on the size of the bug and also grid voltage of the zapper. The ZFITEI 15W model will generally have a louder “crack” than the 10W model.
“What’s the best position for my ZFITEI Zapper?”
A zapper is best placed away from human activity and also competing light sources. Preferably out of windy locations also. Ideally, hang at a height of around 2.5 metres.
“Does my ZFITEI Zapper require much maintenance?”
ZFITEI zappers are designed to require minimal maintenance. Before commencing any maintenance, ensure units are disconnected from any power. Zapper catcher trays should be emptied from time to time. It’s important to ensure Zapper high voltage grids are cleared of any larger “stuck” bugs, as these will affect the units performance.
“My zapper doesn’t appear to be zapping, it was working last time I checked, what should I do?”
A grid that’s clogged with dead bugs or debris may result in reducing its ability to generate a high voltage. Switch off and unplug the unit and clean the metal grid and horizontal bands thoroughly with the supplied brush.
