Say goodbye to maggots in your food waste bins with these top tips from a viral binman! With hot weather making the perfect conditions for flies, dealing with a bin full of maggots is a nightmare no one wants. Thankfully, a savvy binman has shared his simple steps to keep your bins maggot-free.
Step 1: Double bag your smelly food waste and squeeze out the air before sealing it tight. This keeps the odour in and the flies out!
Step 2: Avoid placing your bin in direct sunlight. Flies love warmth, so keep your bin cool and in the shade to avoid attracting them.
Step 3: Always keep your bin lid closed. If flies can’t get in, they can’t lay their eggs!
Step 4: Freeze your food waste until collection day. This way, it stays fresh and odourless.
Bonus Tip: Sprinkle a bit of salt in your bin to deter those pesky maggots!
