Think twice about conventional zappers, because for every skeeter they kill they also kill several bugs that eat them. The ONLY kind proven to be effective against just mosquitos are the ones that emit CO2 (carbon dioxide) the same thing that attracts the mosquitos to YOU. And yes, it may be placed at or near ground level, but this limits their effectiveness. Instead, put them about chest-high, so everyone "gets an invitation."

Since mosquitoes live in ground foliage, the zapper should be placed at ground level. Find an area in the yard that is shaded with dense foliage and is blocked from direct sunlight and wind gusts. This area should be approximately 50 feet away from the outdoor gathering.

The ground will be fine but keep in mind this. Mosquito's can fly as high as 10 feet. Thats why they always recommend to hang it. Maybe you should get another and do both. Just a suggestion.

If the bottom is level enough that it won't tip over, it will be fine.
