Maggots in the Trash Bin? Here’s How to Prevent Them (For Good)

💡 Natural Repellents You Can Try:

• Bay leaves: Toss a few into the trash — flies dislike the smell.
• Essential oils: Citronella, peppermint, or eucalyptus on a cotton ball inside the bin can help repel flies.
• Diatomaceous earth: A sprinkle in the bottom of the bin dries out and kills larvae.

⚠️ Already Have Maggots? Do This:

1. Pour boiling water directly on them — this will kill them instantly.
2. Mix vinegar and salt and spray the inside of the bin.
3. Clean the bin thoroughly, then leave it in the sun to dry.
