1. Grab a kettle and fill it with boiling water.
2. Combine with a bit of disinfectant or bleach (remember, one part bleach to 10 parts water).
3. Scrub the bin, paying attention to corners and crevices.
4. Rinse it out well and let it dry completely.

If you’re too late and critters have already set up camp, pour boiling water on them. This will take care of the maggots quickly. Once done, clean the bin thoroughly with hot water and disinfectant to keep it fresh.

Maggots are especially attracted to food waste, which decomposes faster in the heat. Be sure to seal your food bags tightly. If possible, compost leftovers to keep your main bin maggot-free. A little shade for your bin can also deter these unwanted visitors.

Keep your bins clean, and let’s show those maggots they’re not welcome here! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงน
