"They are a total waste of money. Bug zappers will not control mosquitoes or other biting insects such as horseflies, dogflies or deerflies," said Jonathan Day, associate professor of entomology with the UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
"They simply do not work as advertised. In fact, bug zappers actually make things worse by attracting more mosquitoes into your yard, and they end up killing thousands of beneficial insects that don't bother people."

My yard is extremely dark 1 Acre and I positioned it near the backside. My surrounding neighborhoods turn off their lights at night as well during termite season. I will see a mound of dead termites on the the wood and various other insects. Moths, mosquitoes, house fly, and sometimes a fly.
So yeah if you sitting outside on a bright porch and you have this next to it. I agree it not going to do much of anything. Maybe kill some moths. For inside I also don't see point of this one. I have a smaller device about size of coke can. It rechargeable. I leave it next to fruits in kitchen at night. Again all lights turned off completely off. It kills the fruit flies and the rare stray moth I might get in my house.
If you use it properly it will do the job extremely well.
What's the confusion?
I will say putting it at the far end of your yard does have some use depending how many beneficial insects you also have. If you're killing bugs that eat mosquitos tho, you done messed up

General Attraction
Mosquitoes are not strongly attracted to UV light like some other insects, such as moths. While they may occasionally fly near light sources, light is not a primary factor in their attraction to hosts.
Effective Cues for Mosquitoes
Instead of light, mosquitoes rely on several key sensory cues to locate humans and animals:
