Is it safe to leave a bug zapper outside in the rain?

It is not safe to leave a bug zapper outside in the rain. Most bug zappers are not designed to be weatherproof, and leaving them in the rain can damage the electrical components and cause them to malfunction or even become a safety hazard. Additionally, the accumulation of water on the bug zapper can attract more insects, which can increase the risk of electrical shock. If you need to use a bug zapper outdoors, make sure to place it in a covered area or shelter it from the rain.
