The zappers were placed next to two buildings. The bottom is a plastic "tray" that snaps over two "studs" that stick out about 1/4". The unit can be operated without the tray on it. The client (or me, whoever thinks about it first) throws the contents of the tray into the pond and the fish come up and hit the bugs really, really fast. Even RES get in on the action.
He also placed a couple of Executive Mosquito Magnets out and I am amazed at how well they work. In a months time there will be approximately 2+ cups of mosquitoes that are dead and dried out in the Mosquito Magnets. They only attract female mosquitoes, so that is a LOT of them that end up in the Magnets.

The Mosquito Magnets, the bug zappers, I also sprayed BTi as recommended into any standing water on the property (in the woods or in the grassy areas) and I also sprayed a chemical mixture on the non-flowering shrubs and long grass that was around the edges of the woods. He is approximately 12 miles from me, and the mosquitoes were almost absent all year. My place? You couldn't be outside within an hour of sunset and there were days that even at high noon the skeeters would drive you nuts.
