Can this product get wet? I want to put it outside by my garbage cans.

Missy,This product is awesome! yes, it can get wet, I also put it right outside our kitchen door and has survived really bad storms etc, the flies just fly right by our kitchen and go to the Fly Trap. Since we live next to a horse farm, we probably get 100 flies in it over 15 days. It works amazingly well. For garbage cans, 1 might last you 2 months.

I think it would be fine as long as you do nit submerge it. The package has dry contents that you need to add water too. This makes the product STINK to high heaven. It will attack flies, which is what your garbage can does anyway without buying an extra product. Not sure you want it in your garbage can. It will literally "gag a maggot". BUT, on the up side, my dog thought it smelled pretty darned good, pulled it out of the tree and ate and rolled in it...

Probably not a good idea. I imagine if it's wet, it's raining, or how are you going to use it? This product is designed to work with direct sunlight. So if it's just getting sprinkled wet occasionally that's probably not a problem, but a deluge of water? No.

Yes I put mine out side and there is no trouble. Rain or sprinklers are no problem. I found they work best in shade. As they fill with flies, you will find they do smell from dying flies. Remember, use to draw fly's away from an area. Fly's will find it. Promise!

Yeah, you probably don't want to put it directly under the water though. I took it kayaking and it got splashed a few times and still worked fine.

I wish I could answer with authority. I've used the product outside for over a year, now. The problem is that, while it is outside, it is also sheltered from rain. I don't know if water would hurt the product or not.

I've never had it get wet, but I think it would be ok as long as you allowed it to dry before folding & storing it.

it's just about 8 inches and it could certainly get wet. only a cord and metal ring that can be replaced at the hardware store if it ever got rusty

that could possibly work.. but I don't see how you could keep it from getting wet... our away from the elements

The motor is totally enclosed, so I can't see how it could get wet. I would take precautions with the battery pack. I keep mine away from water, but if you get caught in the rain you should be fine.

There is nothing on the package that says not for outdoor use. However I don't think I would let it get wet. Maybe use it under a patio or garage

Thanks for your question. Yes, it can take a little moisture on the surface, but shouldn't be submerged. Hope it help you.

The manufacturer says no. Mine is on an external pipe but it is essentially sheltered from any rain. Works great, easy to install, but I wouldn't put it anywhere wet.

This product is not designed to hold water. It has zippers that allow it to unfold in to a reserve area for garbage. When lined with a proper garbage bag it is wonderful. Considering it as a water reservoir is not very bright....perhaps one should read the product description??????????????????

I wouldn't put it in water. It is an inexpensive little item that is just bare bones and doesn't look waterproof to me.

Yes the panel can get wet, but works best in bright sun not clouds. I had to move/tilt panel to keep in direct sun.

It's not waterproof. You could only use it outside if it was completely protected from the rain .

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

I placed mine on an enclosed porch area...It would not ever get wet due to the enclosure...If you can place without rain hitting it I think you will be fine!

No it can't get wet. It's not water tight at all. It's made only for indoor use.
