How to Place Your Zevo Flying Insect Trap for Maximum Effectiveness
Jun 11th 2025
Few things ruin a peaceful evening like the relentless buzzing of house flies or a sudden swarm of fruit flies near your kitchen sink.
If you’re tired of constantly swatting bugs or dealing with pesky fruit flies indoors it might be time to try a smarter solution: the Zevo Flying Insect Trap.
Our plug-in bug traps are an effective way to manage indoor insect problems— but for the best results, placement matters.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to place Zevo insect traps in every room of your home—from the kitchen and bathroom to the living room and garage—so you can finally enjoy a home without always worrying about flying pests.
Where Fruit Flies Feast: Targeting the Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most common places for flying bugs to make their appearance, and if you’ve ever battled fruit flies or house flies, you know how quickly they can gather here!
Let’s put it this way, the kitchen acts as a home base for flying insects. They are naturally attracted to food scraps, spills, and moisture—making your kitchen a prime location for activity. Luckily, with a little strategy and some help from Zevo, you can keep the bugs at bay!
Start by placing your Zevo Flying Insect Trap next to areas where flies are most active, such as fruit bowls, compost bins, and trash cans. Fruit flies are especially drawn to ripening food, so keeping a trap nearby can stop them before they ruin your fruit and your day!
Secondly, make sure not to overlook the areas around your sink. The moisture around sinks and dishwashers is a magnet for gnats and flies so by positioning your trap a few feet away, you’ll intercept pests before they start hovering near your dishes.
For best results, try to avoid placing traps near vents or fans. Instead, opt for a corner near your compost or trash bin and keep the trap discreet and functional. One of the most effective ways to ensure your entire space is protected is by using more than one trap. Doing so can help cover all the zones where bugs are most likely to appear.
If you regularly cook with fresh produce or have kids who snack at the counter, a well-placed Zevo Flying Insect Trap becomes an essential kitchen companion.
The Secret Bug Breeding Ground: Your Bathroom
Bathrooms often get overlooked when it comes to pest control, but they’re also a common hotspot for gnats, drain flies, and other flying insects. The combination of moisture, standing water, and organic buildup creates a perfect place for insects to breed.
If you're wondering how to keep bugs at bay in the bathroom and have struggled with other methods, we have the solution. Unlike traditional sticky insect traps, Zevo uses Blue and UV light to attract flying insects and provide continuous 24/7 protection. Zevo attracts and traps bugs before they can multiply without the use of chemical insecticides that have a harsh odor. The discreet curved design keeps trapped bugs hidden, so your room looks clean every day.
For best results, place our insect trap near high-moisture areas like sinks, by the toilet, or next to the tub. These locations tend to harbor the most pests.
You can also position a trap near the bathroom trash can or in a quiet corner where bugs tend to gather. These damp, humid areas are ideal for catching insects early before they spread further into your home.
The best part? You don’t need to overhaul your routine, and you can put away the fly swatter. Just plug in the trap and let Zevo do the work. Whether you’re facing a problem with drain flies in the bathroom or just want to ensure future pests won’t have the chance to multiply, Zevo makes bug control effortless.
Keep It Chill: Living Rooms Without the Buzz
There’s nothing worse than trying to relax on the couch only to be interrupted by a buzzing fly circling your head. Unfortunately, living rooms—especially those with open windows or patio doors—are often easy entry points for flying pests.
These unexpected guests can be annoying, especially when you’re trying to unwind or entertain. That’s where Zevo comes in. The trap’s discreet, odorless design makes it perfect for your main living spaces without drawing unwanted attention.
Place your Zevo trap near doors or windows where insects are most likely to sneak in. Since flying insects are attracted to light, Zevo’s Blue and UV Light technology is especially effective in these high-traffic zones.
Gnats are also drawn to houseplants because their soil provides an ideal location for laying eggs. To manage this issue early, position your trap near houseplants.
Thanks to the sleek, modern look, Zevo traps will fit right into your décor—whether you tuck it by a side table or near a window sill. It works silently in the background, catching bugs without the mess.
With just a few strategically placed traps, your living room can stay peaceful, stylish, and buzz-free. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or settling in for a movie night, Zevo helps create a more comfortable environment for everyone.
Your Garage, the Bug Front Door
Last but certainly not least, don’t overlook your garage. While it might not be the first place you think of for pest control, the garage is a common gateway for bugs to enter your home.
With trash bins, recycling, pet food, and even piles of leaves or grass clippings, your garage can easily become a breeding ground for flies and other flying insects. Add open doors or cracked windows into the mix, and pests have a direct line into your living space.
Zevo Max Flying Insect Trap is the ideal solution because the cord allows you more freedom when finding spots to place your trap. Place it near garage doors or windows to stop bugs before they get inside. Since insects tend to follow predictable flight paths, positioning your trap near entry points boosts your chances of a good catch.
It’s also smart to set your trap near hotspots like trash cans or pet food containers—common areas where insects gather and lay eggs.
With Zevo quietly working in the background, your garage stays clear of flying pests—leaving you free to use the space however you want, without the constant threat of bugs.
Making sure your garage is protected can help prevent bugs from migrating into the rest of your home, saving you even more cleanup down the line.
