Terro T800 Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer - Kills Flies, Roach, Maggots, Beetles, and Insects in Outdoor Garbage Can

I was SHOCKED how well this tiny thing works! I live in an HOA so our trash cans have to stay in the designated area which is just a couple feet from the front door and with a cat and dog to clean up after in the Florida heat, ew. After seeing maggot #482, I decided to try this. Idk what kind of witchcraft is in it but it doesn't really have a smell/odor yet keeps ALL maggots and flies absolutely away. Gone. No where to be seen. I did have an issue with it sticking with the included sticky things so I ended up cutting a command strip in half and using that instead with no further problems falling off. After about 8 weeks, I unfortunately knocked the device off when breaking down a piece of particle board furniture but the shoo fly power hadn't deminished any at that time so I feel very confident in ordering another.

I figured if one of these is good, two will be even better so I used some gorilla double sided tape to mount the two little containers of insect killer on the inside top of my garbage can lid. Before there were always flies buzzing around because it gets really hot here in the summer and when I looked into the garbage can I knew something had to be done. So after washing out the garbage can real good with some disinfectant spray cleaner I installed these and they are working great. I even see dead flies around the rim of the garbage can and some dying inside. This stuff works! Don't doubt it.I would however wear a face mask next time I install these because this is not a scented product and you can't tell if you are breathing any in yourself. I suggest they scent it slightly so you'd know! I advise only using this in an open area and OUTSIDE! This is not for indoor use!Now each time I got to put the garbage out I am not attacked by flying insects! It is great. I'd definitely get more of these next summer. I am using two at a time! They will last 4 months! Install them at the end of spring and you'll be good for the summer. I am not a doctor, nor is this review medical advice.

I placed the Terro Garbage Guard (T801SR, 2-pack) inside two outdoor trash can lids, and bugs dropped noticeably within a day.The sticky pod masks odors and attracts bugs away from garbage, and it's passive—no messy sprays or chemicals. Be sure to clean under it before mounting so it sticks better; mine popped off after a week and fell inside the lid.Adhesive isn’t the strongest— I ended up using heavy-duty double-sided tape. Without reinforcement, it’s easy for the pod to fall in or get dislodged.

high star rating, but do not yet know if it kills/killed any insects -- the 1" square sticky, sticks well, but was difficult to get the backing off of both sides -- I installed one under the lid of my "roller" garbage can -- the weather changed and I haven't seen any pests in the garage where the can is so... -- the directions are in tiny print and I have not yet taken a magnifying glass to them so I'm not up on the details other than to see that it kills a fairly large variety of bugs -- I had one thought while installing -- find a place where it won't get hit by the garbage when dumping -- the plastic caseing for the bait/poison is much more durable than I was expecting

It’s pretty hot here in Florida, and the garbage cans are prone to having hundreds of flys around them. This is the third ‘Garbage Guard Pest Strip’ I’ve purchased off Amazon, and over all I am very satisfied.They indeed solve the problem, work very fast, and flys are no longer an issue. Not sure if they last for the claimed four months though, because mine always come unstuck after about six weeks by the garbage truck when it shakes the garbage can to empty it. But for the price, six weeks is pretty good.A couple of little criticisms though. Removing both pieces of paper on the sticky thing that holds it onto the garbage can lid is a pain, and it takes me ages to do. Maybe add a tab or something, so they are easier to remove. Also, as mentioned above, they fall off prematurely. For me, they would be much better if a stronger adhesive could be used.

This product works great! The are no insects in my trash can anymore. However, the sticky tabs that came with the product were only sticky on one side and I am having to hot glue the strips to the top of my trash can lid. They fall off at least once a week. Please update your sticky tabs!!!!
