Yes, for optimal performance, the solar panel needs to be placed in an area that receives direct sunlight throughout the day. While it may still gather some charge in partial shade, its efficiency and battery life will be significantly reduced.

Yes, the device features an IPX6 waterproof rating, which means it is designed to withstand heavy rain and splashing water. You do not need to bring it indoors during typical outdoor weather conditions.

The built-in sensor detects ambient light levels. It automatically activates the zapper grid when it gets dark in the evening and turns it off when daylight returns, ensuring you aren't wasting battery life during the day.

While the high-voltage grid is effective against insects, it is designed for outdoor use and should be placed out of reach of children and pets. Always install the unit in a location where it won't be accidentally touched or knocked over.

To maintain effectiveness, you should periodically clear away debris and dead insects from the grid. Because it is IPX6 waterproof, you can generally use a soft brush or a gentle spray of water to clean it, but ensure the unit is powered off first.
