can I leave the zapper out in the rain?

Like all electrical appliances it would be unwise to subject the zapper to direct rain. Due to the high voltages generated within the zapper it could become live when wet.

It is best to unplug it if it is a heavy rain. If it is just a light rain I usually let mine turned on. In heavy rain it will continually zap and could short out.

Yes,you can leave it out in the rain on, works fine. But you should put it away for winter before it freezes.

Ours is hung in the country and there is nothing stopping bugs from getting in. However we have it connected by a carabiner and just take it down at the end of the day and put it inside or in the garage. We leave it out some nights, but you really shouldn't leave it out in the rain, that is the only way it will become damaged. The kids love it and it stays very clean and comfortable.

I use mine outside every year. I would not recommend it being left out in the rain however as the water would get directly to the motor.

I don't think so. If it rains, it will damage the electronic. Plus, it can be stolen if you put it out door.

Depends on the weight of the "Zapper", but it should do just fine. Good Idea, tks. :)

The electric controller plug in is not suppose to get wet (rained on). So when not in use, it is best to unplug it and bring in under shelter. The unit itself stays out.

I saw a video on YouTube where a guy had it in a plastic container with a hole in the side where the opening to the Zapper was. Here's a link to the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz76MUR1SSk&feature;=related

Yes, use a small battery operated fan and you will be fine. The rain fly cuts down the air flow, so use a fan

Water will kill it, it killed mine. Will work outside but bring it in during the rain.

Oh yeah fer sure. It has a switch to turn it on and then you're able to press a button to actually zap. It won't switch it on AND press the button so it can't zap you

Yes you can but do NOT buy this piece of junk. It is made like a little kids toy - very cheap plastic that rattles. The buttons are not easily distinguishable from one another and there is no protection for the "zap" key to protect you from accidentally hitting it.

Not sure. I have never used it in the rain or around water. The instructions said when not in use, keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Due to the structure of the scope, I can see water being an enemy to it. If moisture was to get inside, it would fog the lens thus probably messing it up. Mold etc.. So I would say no. If a few drops of rain were to hit it while out scoping, just wipe it off and put the scope up nice and dried. I hope that answered your question.

I have not had a problem with rain. I do keep them closed during the summer since the humidity would be much higher outside than in the crawl space.

Yes, I leave mine on in the rain and storms. In fact, we have trees and it helps keep some of the debris out.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

The zappers are easily plugged into any electrical outlet to retain any lost charge. Hope that helps..
