Trash bins can be a dirty, bug-filled place – but they don’t have to be! TERRO® Garbage Guard® is effective against a variety of flying and crawling insects that are commonly found in trashcans. For your convenience, TERRO® Garbage Guard® is incredibly easy to use. Simply remove the backing from the adhesive strip and attach the pod to the underside of your trash can lid. Then just close the lid, and let the vapor do its work! This product is designed for use in outdoor or garage trash bins and dumpsters only.
Kills Insects and Prevents Infestations
The compact pod features an adhesive strip for easy and discreet attachment inside garbage cans, trash bins and dumpsters. Once inside, TERRO® Garbage Guard® releases an odorless vapor that deeply penetrates the enclosed space to kill visible and hiding insects, as well as prevent new infestations. No more maggots and no more flying or crawling insects in your bins!
Long-Lasting Protection
Garbage Guard® pods are designed with controlled release technology to slowly diffuse the deep penetrating vapor in enclosed spaces for up to 4 months. That’s a whole summer of insect protection with just one application of TERRO® Garbage Guard®!
How to Use Garbage Guard®
TERRO® Garbage Guard® is very easy to use. Just follow these five simple steps to get started.
Remove pre-assembled Garbage Guard® pod from the sealed bag when ready to use.
Peel off the adhesive backing of the adhesive strip.
Attach the strip inside the trashcan or dumpster and keep the lid closed. For superior adhesion, clean the surface before applying.
One pod will treat up to 100 cubic feet. If more than one pod is needed, space them evenly throughout the treatment area.
Record the date of installation and replace with a new pod after 4 months or when effectiveness diminishes.

Love all Terro products that I have tried.
Apparently the only problem with this product is not the ingredients nor effectiveness but the adhesive keeping it in place. Each time it is emptied you have to replace it because it sprang hold. Making it ineffective and expensive. Will have to find a way to make it stay in place.
Have now spent almost $20 on these things. I’ve tried everything except superglue to make it stick to trash can lid. Sometimes the whole thing falls, sometimes tape sticks to lid but the thing falls off the tape. Haven’t gotten it to stay on the lid more than a week.
We are so sorry to hear about this! Please give us a call directly for additional help! These are covered by a one year replacement policy and we would love the opportunity to make this right.

I bought the Garbage Guard ...

I bought the Garbage Guard from Amazon. I put it on my garbage can May 27, three days later it was gone. Apparently it came loose, fell into the can, and gone when trash company did the collection. So instead of having 4 months protection, I have none unless I buy a new one. Guess I’ll have to put it on with super glue. Bummed about it!
