Be sure the trap is placed where bugs can easily reach it and near bug entry points or activity. Don't place the trap where it will be blocked by doors, furniture, or curtains. For larger rooms or spaces, consider plugging in two traps on opposite sides of the room.
Don't place traps:
- Near competing light sources such as TVs or computer monitors.
- In places exposed to the elements where the trap may get wet.
- Directly next to a window or door since a bug’s natural path is to continue straight as it enters the home.
Good tips:
- Turn off other light sources near the trap at night as much as possible and before you turn in for sleep.
- Consider not putting it next to pet crates. In some cases, the light and bug activity could interfere with a pet’s sleep.
