TerroT801SR Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer - Kills Flies, Roach, Maggots, Beetles, and Insects in Outdoor Garbage Can (Pack of 2)

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.

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.

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’m giving this product five stars for effectiveness— not for adhesion. I live in Georgia and have a trash bin in my backyard specifically for dog poop. I throw the bag out once a week. But spring through end of summer, the inside of the trash bag and the lid would be covered in maggots. I started using this product a couple of years ago and no longer have this problem. It lasts the entire season! I will say that the adhesive strip sucks. When I first purchased it, I stuck it on the underside of the lid, and it fell off same day right into a pile of poo. So I had to purchase another one. This time I jerryrigged a hook on the other side of the lid and hung it from it. Worked like a charm and I have not seen a single maggot since I started using this product.

This product is AMAZING. Over the years I have tried everything to keep the flies /maggots out of my cans. My garbage is double bagged and inside a garage and still I would get bugs within days. I did buy some Gorilla double back tape as many complained about it not sticking. I had no problem with it sticking to the lid. It has worked GREAT. Not one single fly or maggot and its now 2 months with temps well into the high 90s, heat index over 100. My garbage does contain super gross items, like empty cat food cans and dog poop. And NO BUGS. I just ordered 2 more !!

Hi All! We have been battling fruit flies off and on for several years. Backstory, our church has a food pantry and some times we bring home fresh fruits and vegetables. Anyhoo, this last time we got them pretty bad, started putting the trash can outside bad! Ordered this for our trash can for inside. A couple of days past a few were missing. 1 1/2 weeks later, I asked my husband do you see any fruit flies! No not a one! This works great highly recommend. It seems that what ever goes in the can does in the can. Awesome!

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 worked great but would not stay adhered. I lost it the third trash pick up day. The trash collectors were so impressed by the effectiveness that they even looked through my trash bags hoping to find it.There must be a better method for adhering them.
