T801SR Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer - Kills Flies, Roach, Maggots, Beetles, and Insects in Outdoor Garbage Can (Pack of 2)

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.

Works great but hard to keep in place

I purchased this product in August, it is now November and I belive this product is supposed to last 4 months and let me tell you how the last few months went: the day after gluing the pod to the lid, I noticed a few dead flies on the bottom of the trash can but still a lot of live ones. I gave it a few days but flies and maggots were still living in my trash can. After a couple of weeks I came to the conclusion that this product works so-so, it killed a few flies but not enough to fix my fly issue. At one point maggots even started crawling around and inside the pod like it was nothing! I left it alone as weather started to cool off ( I live in SC so by cool off, I mean below 80°) and I started seeing less flies but I think the weather change had more to do with it than this product. As weather fluctuated between a few cool days and warm days, the amount of flies also fluctuated. Two days ago, after trash was picked up, they left the lid open and I noticed the my trash can was FULL of flies and maggots, there were so many of them flying around that I couldn't even get close to the trash can. I finally decided enough is enough and I grabbed my garden hose and began rinsing off the trash can to get all of the nastiness off and the maggots. While I was spraying the lid, the pod fell off and fell on my driveway, I thought "oh well, its trash anyway" and continued spraying the trash can until I felt it was clean and moved on. Now here's the horrifying part: I dont know what about the pod getting wet caused this but a few hours later, I noticed flies gathering around the pod and seemed to be dying? The next morning even more flies were gathering around it, there's so many of them you can't get close and its really disgusting! There are so many flies and they're all coming to my driveway 😭😭 I'm attaching a video of what I'm looking at when I look at my driveway. This product definitely didn't work as intended and now I feel like the lord of the flies with all of these flies gathering and dying in my driveway and I dont know how many more will come but I don't want to get close and pick up the pod.

Works great at eliminating flys, I saw an immediate improvement after a day of use. Like many others point out, the adhesive included is not strong enough, and the unit will fall off (after a week for me); find another way to secure it.

Handy to ensure no insects get into or breed in your closed garbage can. Despite the lid being closed, we used to get flies, maggots and ants inside the can. Been using this for several years now and haven't had any bugs at all. Easy to attach to bottom of lid. Don't have roaches, so don't know about those. Does need the lid to be closed as it only handles a certain size of volume inside the can. If you leave the lid loose or open, this won't work for you. I use in our large garbage can in the garage. I doubt it's safe to use inside, especially in a kitchen.

I have purchased this Terro T800 several times for my Simply Human stainless kitchen trash can. The first application in 2023 worked well and kept tiny fruit flies and larvae from sticking to the inside and hatching almost overnight. This first one lasted about 5 months and was very effective. I found that the double sided adhesive tape held well and was even hard to remove it all for future applications. The problem now with the 2d and 3d units was that first, there was no adhesive included in the top half of the pouch that you have to cut off to use,it was not included!! I had to use a separate double stick tape for it to work. The 3d unit had very poor adhesive nand the expensive plastic insect killer fell off the lid and was lost in the trash where I did not see that it was missing until a week later. Besides being over priced, someone needs to make a better adhesive for this product. When it works it works fine for a long time and I now use a spray “ZEVO” can spray one a week with a new bag at quite a savings.

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.

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.

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.
