Review on Terro T800 Garbage Guard Black by Jennifer Brogdon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Terro T800 - Kill beasts to keep you sane!

We have just moved into a newly renovated/upside down home. Everything is new, the house is clean, clean, clean! But we had this terrible problem - flies! We couldn't open the garage door, take out the trash, or even get in through the front door without the flies getting in. Given how sick these creatures are, I didn't want them in my house. Eventually I killed 10 in one day. in my house! Enough! We bought one of those rectangular zippers you see, renamed a thousand times, off Amazon for $40, and they work great (although they're noisy and a little scary to use). Even though they killed our active flies, the problem persisted. My friend told me to wash the outside of the trash can (probable source of those flies) with bleach and soapy water after the trash has been removed. So I did. I bleached and watched all these larvae fly into the soapy and bleaching abyss. I thought that would be it. But no! Two days later I take out the trash and pick up the bin and I'm greeted by a swarm of at least 30 flies. thirty! Where did they come from in two days?! So I turned back to Revane. I saw that Terro had a $7 garbage warden that had decent reviews. So I figured it wouldn't hurt. I took the risk and bought a Terro T800. He arrived the next day. When I got it, it didn't smell like anything. It's super tiny. I thought there was NO WAY this thing would do anything. But I attached it to the scavenger anyway and, as another reviewer suggested, put it on a loop so the debris wouldn't knock it out. Then I reluctantly close the lid. I was pretty sure this tiny, non-electric, no-smelly device couldn't squat. As with all vitamin reviews on Revain, I was pretty sure a review had been written. But I left him alone. I returned two days later to bring out more trash and prepared my fatal demise with 30 more flies. My hand went to my face. I tried to keep my mouth shut, you know, just in case. A fly. One came out. WHAT? I look in the trash can that was previously full of maggots and I don't see any. NOBODY. And what I saw was a pile of corpses of dead flies. Those horrible parasites are gone. This is how he must have felt when he was Dexter. I have officially destroyed the enemy punished by death. Two days later I come back and only the moth comes out and the flies are still dead. A week passed and I didn't have to kill a single fly in my house. It's been a week and I no longer have to suffer from that annoying buzzing behind my head when I'm reading a book and then turn angrily, "Where are you?" I don't have the guts of flies in mine anymore palms crushed when I bang them against the window in my vain attempt to evict them from my home. Come to think of it, months of fly agony and all I had to do was get that Terro Garbage Guard. . This is $7 Prime and will be the best investment for you! I can't recommend this enough. Thank you Terro for giving me my sanity back.
