TERRO T800 Garbage Guard – Kills Insects and Prevents New Infestations,Black

The product isn't working as it was shown. The package seal was loose. The double side tape was missing. The flies wasn't seen for a day or two after that the product seemed disappeared for flies or may be the flies were using some kind of mask to avoid the smell. It's been over a month and not happy with the results.

I bought this product because occasionally flies will get in the kitchen garbage and spawn maggots which are disgusting. Yesterday there was another maggot infestation. Many, many had died and they leave a gooey mess to clean in the garbage pan. So the clean up takes time. But there was one live one which crawled out of the device while I was cleaning. And three or four on the top of the lid inside still alive. 20 or 30 dead in same place. Maybe it only works with some of them. In any event, the clean up takes time and is disgusting.

Reading the previous reviews, I was a bit skeptical byuing it. But I can tell you that it works well the day I put it in. Flies are still around the bin but always ended up dying. No more maggots and bad smell. So happy.Back to buy a couple more.100% recommend this products.

These trash guards work great and kill flies and maggots as advertised. The main downside is the tape: one side is difficult to peel, can be easily damaged, and may loosen from the vibration when the trash hauler empties the bin (if you do manage to peel the difficult side off). To secure mine, I used two machine screws with nylon-insert wing nuts. It takes very little time and effort to drill the holes and fasten them properly, and it is worth it because the trash guards work so well. I started with a clean receptacle and used this cleaner: https://a.co/d/03vdpyXc. I sprayed it on, let it sit, and then rinsed it off with a strong jet stream.For materials, I used two #10-24 x 1" black flat-head socket-head screws (https://a.co/d/0gwEcyvm) and two 10-24-inch nylon-insert wing nuts (https://a.co/d/05aviDVH). The nylon insert it to prevent the wing nuts from loosening from vibration. I also placed small O-rings under the screw heads to help keep out moisture, though they probably were not necessary. The hole was snug, the flat head had enough surface area, and tightening everything down firmly likely would have sealed it well enough.I drilled the hole with what I believe was a 5/32” bit, though it may have been 11/64”. Start with 5/32” so the screw fits snugly and requires light pressure to install; mine threaded in, which should also help with sealing. Use the trash guard on the inside as a guide and drill outward through the top. See the pictures for reference. I tightened good and snug, if you use too much force, you may crack the trash guard, so don’t try to get it as tight as you possibly can. Finally, if the lid or other areas have wear holes, seal them if possible. I had a small hole in one corner of my lid and covered it with gaff tape on both sides. I'm so thankful to know about these things!

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.
