The Skeeter Defeater™ works very well in most outdoor settings. Hang the Dispenser six feet above the ground, out of reach of children and pets, or place on a sturdy flat surface five to six feet above the ground. The Skeeter Defeater Dispenser hangs easily from shepherd's hooks, fence posts, awnings and other similar hardware. And because it has a flat base, you can also set the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser on high ledges, columns and other high surfaces.
Important: when the Dispenser is set to "DUSK/DAWN
+ Remote" power setting, the unit must be placed in direct sunlight
to perform at an optimal level. The DUSK/DAWN sensor is a highly
advanced device that measures even the smallest changes in light. 
By
placing the unit in direct sunlight, you allow for the Dispenser to receive
the best possible information when determining dusk and dawn each day.
With this in mind, it is best to not place the Dispenser in heavily shaded
areas.
Direct the Nozzle to spray toward the target area, and away from swimming pools, water bodies, and eating and cooking areas. One Skeeter Defeater Dispenser effectively treats up to 300 sq. ft. Even though the Skeeter Defeater sprays in one direction, the insecticide will disperse and actually cover 360 degrees around the Dispenser when used in proper weather conditions. The diagram above shows a typical yard and the possible coverage areas for one Skeeter Defeater Dispenser. Multiple Dispensers may be used to treat an entire outdoor area (and can be controlled by a single Remote Control), but do not use more than one dispenser for every 300 square feet of space. To reduce wind exposure, some people point the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser toward their house, and then allow the insecticide to rebound off the walls and cover additional areas in the yard.
