TerroT800 Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer - Kills Flies, Roach, Maggots, Beetles, and Insects in Outdoor Garbage Can

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Where have you been my whole life? This product got mixed reviews so I was skeptical. But after installing it I saw the difference.Almost immediately I could see the flies did not like this thing. The trash can had almost no flies in it. After a week they were nonexistent. Granted, there are still some hovering around the can lid, but none inside. Just to be clear, I pick up dog poop from the yard and put it in the can in bags. Even with that I’m still not seeing flies. Don’t waste your time with an adhesive strip. The heat here in the Carolinas loosens that right up and it ends up in the trash. I just drove a small screw through the top and into the plastic. Works like a dream!! I have also noticed fewer flies in the house. It’s June and we call this “fly season”. This thing is a life saver!

We had some maggots last summer and as soon as this summer started I started seeing them again in our trash can. Tried few options like washing off every time after garbage pickup and sprinkle with Baking soda where it would last for 3-4 days and finally on the 5th or 6th day they come back again, especially if the weather gets hot. Tried some repellent near the lid to keep the flies\bugs off and it did not work. Finally tried this after reading about it and it is very effective from the first time of use. Kills bugs and flies that get inside the trash can and as I can see them dead. No Maggots at all.Make sure to follow all safety instructions on the label. This product should be kept out of reach of children at all times.

Update... I had originally given this 5⭐ but after just about 1 months need to lower my rating. These are supposed to last 3-4 months but just after 1 month theounting tape has failed and both of them have fallen off and ended in the trash truck!I will order more and give it another go as they did work well while they were attached . Until the company comes up with a better way of attaching them to the trash can plan on getting repeat delivery and replacing everyonth.These are amazing!I get so grossed out when I take out the trash and it is swarming with flies and covered in maggots! I always feel so bad for the trash collectors that have to deal with it.I purchased these and immediately stuck them inside the lids of my trash cans. Within 2 days there were dead flies on the bottom of the can! This little tiny thing killed all of them!I will definitely buy more for my other can! The can that didn't have it was full of flies and maggots but not the cans with it. It did make a huge difference.There is no smell, it is easy to install, sticks well and is very effective,(Says it lasts 3 months so I will be watching and update my review if it does not.)

I bought this to use in my dog poop bin. I clean poops from the yard on a daily basis with baggies and put them in a bin meant for specifically for dog poo. I was having issues with a horrible amount of flies and one day, noticed maggots in the bottom of the pail below the bag. I went on the hunt for something to help avoid this. I found this product and thought "its really pricey but I'll give it a shot" (I was desperate. Its been out there for a month and IF there is a fly there when I open the pail, ITS DEAD! There has been absolutely nothing live in the bin anymore. It attaches well and stays adhered, even in Texas heat. I haven't noticed an odor from the product itself, even when I removed it from the package. I will be purchasing another one for our larger bin that we use for entertaining and pool clean out purposes, and I plan to set this up as an auto delivery so that I'll remember when it needs to be changed.

I have no more maggots! For two months, I’ve been washing out my trash can because of the hundreds of maggots that would appear between weekly trash pickups. After just one week of using this device, there wasn’t a single bug or maggot.Now, about the controversial adhesive patch that comes with it. Obviously, that thing isn’t going to hold up to a trash truck slamming the can around. I didn’t have any zip ties, so I used fishing line leaders to secure it instead. The device has plenty of holes that make it easy to rig something up, just like I did

I purchased the Terro T800 Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer hoping to eliminate the persistent problem of flies, gnats, maggots, and roaches that kept invading our outdoor garbage bin during the warmer months. The product seemed promising with its claims of odorless, deep-penetrating vapor, controlled-release technology, and a lifespan of up to 4 months. Unfortunately, while it helped to reduce the number of pests, it didn’t entirely solve the issue.Pro Tip: If you decide to use this, make sure to clean the garbage bin thoroughly beforehand and always close your trash bags securely. You can also pair this with fly-repelling sprays or essential oils for added effectiveness.

IT DOES NOT STICK TO LID. I even used 3 m tape? It fell off the lid for my compost container that is now a law in New York City. It's a small compost bin. that is 13 gallons. You have to find a better way to make your product STICK to the surface of the plastic lid. The tape you suppled is worthless. I purchased it because there were maggots in my pail. Which I looked into and found Flies left eggs when the sanitation left the pail open for pick up. Hope to hear from Terro. I love their products but am VERY Disappointed for this item.Why did you pick this product vs others?:They have good products

I put this in my 95 gallon trash can to eliminate maggot infestation seen the prior week. Our town just switched to these cans. I also purchased a cover that goes over can lid. After 4 days of high heat and a full can of trash, no maggots and dead flies found in bottom of can!!The only down side as others noted, with the high heat, no matter what 2 way adhesive (3M) i use, it just melts away (90 degrees in northeast) and it falls into can.I have run a zip tie through can lid and it now holds firmly in place. 4 stars for this reason.
