You can get them to go anywhere. The only thing you have to be careful of is not being around too many tall trees so they can take off without running into anything. We set a couple off at our house before the event (no water around) an they went up perfectly and cleared the surrounding trees.

I haven't had any problems with them trying to escape. As long as the water parameters are healthy, they should be very happy to stick around. :)

They seem to be. Ours are mounted under the overhang of our roof...no issues as of yet. It's rained, etc and I am sure the rain has gotten on them as the over hang is not that large. They are still working.

They are very cushy, and have ties at the back. But I don't think the fabric is made for outdoor use. That said, it is tightly woven, slick fabric, so I would think they'd be fine as long as they're put away at the end of the day.

Yes, they work well outdoors as well as indoors. They are sturdy too....good quality and serve their purpose.

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. It's made to work for both in and outdoors. Just make sure you're supervising them if needed.

These are not warerproof, so no. They do make ones that are waterproof for outside use.

Common problem as I understand. Unless they are in a place that gets good sunlight they will stay on.

Yes they are. I have them on my tree. They won't stay on all night. Maybe on for 5 hours depending on much sun they get.

Hi,Actually most people that purchase these do keep them indoors, during the summer you can even leave them on your patio.

I don't think so. They are fairly sturdy, but if there is major (gale force) wind, you might need to weigh them down with something. But just regular breezes won't be an issue.

Yes they can. They sit on bars that are connected to the upright frame members.

We too lived in the UK for about three years and our only concern is the wind (caused by the cars movement) somehow started them to separate from the car there would be no stopping them. Since they are made of a fairly substantial vinyl material I am sure the rain or water would not hurt them. I think if you could find a place on the boot or bonnet where the wind was not real bad they would be fine.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to place these outside. The units are sealed and placed upside down, and the ant response was immediate. however, I did not place them outside. Good luck

If released outdoors, they will leave if there is not food(bugs), when they have taken care of all the pests, they will go where there is food, you can make a home for them, but I didnt have any luck keeping them in it
