Why must this be 25 feet away from people? One guy said to put it 50 feet away. Is it toxic or something?

The bugs swarm around it before it zaps them.. if you place it too close to where you sit you will be in the path of the insects going towards the light and it would defeat the purpose of having it so you can be comfortable in the area. Also.. there will be dead bug remains and if you're outside it would not be a good idea to have them around where you barbeque or sit.

I think they want us to place it far enough away because it really stinks. And the idea was to draw the flies away from the house. Well it does not do so. It does capture them once they find it. It catches alot but there were still many by the house. Putting it as close as you can stand the smell would work.

We use it when we go camping. It's about 700 feet away and it works perfect.

I WOULD NOT, do so. I WOULD NOT advise anyone to do this. This product contains mosquito sex pheromones. These fill the air in the area around their location. Even if it were removed before using the area for people the pheromones would remain in the air continuing to attract mosquitoes. NOT a GOOD thing!!!. Placing this product anywhere that you do not want mosquitoes is a very bad idea. This product is designed to be located near areas where people will be to attract the mosquitoes away from that area.

This may attract some flies from your next door neighbors, but not the neighborhood. Also, this should be hung approximately 30 - 45 ft from your home and the infested area.

It would need to be close to a window for ventilation. Its suggested to be no more then 4 feet away from the vent source.

Hey Jeremy! We've found that we can go as far as 20 feet from our unit, and it works fine, but that's the limit. If we go further, it cuts in and out. A safe distance would be 15 feet. Good luck! :)

Oh no, yuck. They are stinky in order to attract flies and once flies fly in and die it gets even stinkier. I put it about 30 feet from our house in the backyard at beginning of spring when flies are hatching and have to change it a month later due to smell (occupancy). They work to keep the fly population down, we don't have nearly as many anymore as used to be around here.

Not really sure! It fumes are really bad, your face would need to be at a safe distance from where you are spraying! It pretty toxic!

I have used it from approximately 90ft away without issue. You should be fine from 50 or 60ft.

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

I feel it is best to place it away from the house. You do not want bugs being drawn to the entrances of your residence. I had a problem with one of my Dynatraps, called the company and they refused to repair it. It is a "throw away" product. I will not purchase another one of their products. Worked well when it worked, but very short life. I would not recommend a person purchase this brand.

I can't possibly tell you the real distance and I flunked physics. However, this is a transformer reducing the current to 12 volts, which ought to be good for a few feet. If you want something else, like to light up your yard, maybe a regular transformer will be in order.

I would keep it at least 6-8 inches away. It actually gets pretty hot in my opinion.

I did not test for distance, but I would estimate it to be up to 25 feet.THE BIG PLUS for this device is that it eliminated false actuations from blowing shrubbery etc.

I've never used it at that distance, and before I would've bought it for an application of that distance I would've called the company. I have 2 of them at a normal distance of around 15 - 20 feet.

I don't believe it needs the chemical attractant. I think the reason it should be placed away from human activity is so you don't get bugs on you or in your hair. However, I have one placed under the outside patio. We just don't sit close to it.
