## Description

Trash bins can be notorious for attracting unwanted pests, but with the TERRO Garbage Guard, you can make sure each garbage can is an insect-free zone. This solution is great for outdoor trash cans with lids and wheels, keeping them protected all summer long. TERRO Garbage Guard tackles a variety of flying and crawling insects, such as flies, maggots, and roaches, which commonly infiltrate trashcan environments. By releasing a deeply penetrating vapor, the pod exterminates both visible and hiding insects, while also preventing new infestations from taking hold. Each TERRO Garbage Guard lasts up to four months thanks to its controlled release technology. Say goodbye to maggots and bugs swarming your trash can or garbage can. With the easy-to-attach adhesive backing, the pod fits seamlessly inside your trash can lid, providing discreet and uninterrupted protection. As you close the lid, the vapor begins its work, protecting your trashcan from common pests. Utilize TERRO Garbage Guard in outdoor or garage trash bins, dumpsters, and trashcans for an insect-free waste disposal experience. Keep your trash bins free of insects with this efficient, easy-to-use product that ensures a hassle-free, cleaner environment.

Review: Works great, secure with hardware. - 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!
Review: TERRO solved my fly problem! - I could not be more grateful for this product! I was ready to move due to our house having ongoing repeated fly infestations. I finally tracked the problem to the excessive flies that get into our garage garbage cans, then breed. It seems some maggots make it under the trim, resulting in flies in the house. I have lot of teenagers and people constantly going in and out of the garage, so perfectly contained trash management can be difficult. I cleaned the entire area, suspended the Garbage Guard from a zip tie inside the garbage can and closed the lid. The next day, zero fly activity inside and around the bins!! And better yet, zero flies appearing inside my house!! I believe this product helped solve a stumper of an issue that no one had been able to figure out! As others have mentioned, you must use wire or a zip tie to suspend inside the bins; don't bother with the adhesive. It was very simple to set up. I'm so happy!

## Features

- LONG-LASTING PROTECTION: Controlled release technology allows for slow diffusion of vapor in trash cans and provides up to 4 months of protection, keeping insects at bay, even in a large trash can with lid
- SIMPLE INSTALLATION: These sticky traps with adhesive are easy to use; simply attach the pod inside your trash bin, close the lid and let the vapor do its work
- IDEAL FOR OUTDOOR AND GARAGE USE: Great to use as outdoor roach traps and sticky traps in garage trash bins, dumpsters, and more

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I place this on the garage wall above my trash cans? I’m afraid they will fall off when the truck comes to pick up the cans.**
A: One important thing: It's not going to stick to a dome-shaped lid. Stick it to a flat surface.

OK. HERE IS HOW YOU MAKE IT STICK.

Supplies needed: Rubbing Alcohol, Coarse Sandpaper

Step 1:    Wipe your hands, and the area under the trash-bin lid with Rubbing Alcohol.

Step 2: With a piece of COARSE sandpaper, rough up the area you just cleaned. Make sure to move the sandpaper in all directions. You want a texture, like a cross hatch. You can't guarantee a good adhesion if the surface is smooth. Scratch it up.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SANDPAPER, USE ANYTHING WITH A POINTED TIP, LIKE A NAIL, A PUSH-PIN, A BOX-CUTTER BLADE, X-ACTO KNIFE, SCISSORS, EVEN A ROCK WILL WORK. 

Step 3: Wipe off the area again with Rubbing Alcohol. 

Step 4: After the surface is dry, stick the product on.

**Q: How many are in the package?**
A: There is one per package. I had for two weeks and it does what it says, kills flies, etc. So nice opening trash can and not having several flies coming out at you. Well worth it.

**Q: I have more than 1 outside trash can. Should I buy 1 for each trash can?**
A: We recommend using one guard per trash can.

**Q: Where is the adhesive strip? Neither of the two I purchased has one**
A: The adhesion strip will be inside the box.

### ⭐ Infuriatingly Useless Adhesive
*by W***H on July 21, 2026*

Allow me to paint a picture! Mississippi…in 111 degree heat. A slightly paunchy 50+ year old man in slides, athletic shorts and a t-shirt. His sweat-drenched body labors in the hot sun and oppressive humidity. He is on a mission to rid himself of the pesky flies that inhabit his garbage can. What stands in his way you might ask? Allow me to answer! A piece of raggedy, pain-in-the-butt adhesive! This maddening piece of garbage(no pun intended) has two sides. The plastic on one side peels off like a dream. The other? Well, the other requires the strength of Hercules himself to remove. In this case, a tired, sun-baked and out of shape retiree had no shot at removing this thing. I can only assume this is some type of sick joke perpetrated by the manufacturer. I can hear them all chortling in some far-off board room. “Let’s make one side super easy to remove and then make the other side nearly impossible!!” Anyway, fast forward to yesterday. With the creative language still hanging in the heavy, humid air, I FINALLY get the other adhesive backing off…at least what is left of it! The remnants of it were stuck to my shirt, a pair of needle nose pliers and my fingers. I carefully stuck the bait station to the inside of the can and hoped for the best! As for the effectiveness of the device, I will report back and amend this review. I can only hope the poison works better than the adhesive strip!! Update: Flies have established a colony in and around the garbage can. They are hanging out and living their best lives. They are undeterred by the bait station it seems. I’ll give it a bit longer but so far it seems the product itself is not working. Last Update: After another couple of weeks, I noticed only a slight decrease in the number of flies. I do believe the product helped but not in a meaningful amount. I caved and bought a bottle of Clorox cleanup (with no annoying adhesive) and sprayed the inside of the can and the outside of the can. So far, that seems to have helped more than the fly station did. I would not buy this again. Besides the frustration of the adhesive itself, the station just doesn’t appear to work well.
