How a Bag of Dead Rats Proved the Terro Garbage Guard Really Works

Warning: This story is super-gross. But you probably already guessed that if you made it past the headline.

I’ve been testing gear since 2007, and in that time, I’ve done some pretty odd things. I’ve thrown tape measures off a roof, cycled 13 bidets through my house over the course of two weeks, and spent a day string-trimming over 12,500 square feet of a field. But in all of my years of testing and reviewing products, I’ve never done anything as extreme—or straight-up disgusting—as what I did to test Terro’s Garbage Guard.
