Comment Section for How a Bag of Dead Rats Proved the Terro Garbage Guard Really Works | Reviews by Wirecutter

This New York Times Wirecutter article by Doug Mahoney reviews the effectiveness of the Terro Garbage Guard, a bug-killing device designed to stick to the underside of garbage can lids and emit insecticide vapor to eliminate pests. The device's effects are said to last for roughly four months. In a rather unconventional testing method, the author used a bag of dead rats from under his chicken coop to attract flies and other bugs into a trash barrel equipped with the Garbage Guard. After three days, the majority of the maggots that had covered the bag were found dead at the bottom of the barrel, leading the author to conclude that the Garbage Guard was highly effective. The article also includes links to other reviews and pieces on related products and topics.
