4 effective tips for removing maggots in your outdoor trash can

 

Smart products for top cleaning

Cleaning your garbage regularly is the best prevention. No chemicals are needed for this: baking soda is an excellent air freshener, baking soda crystals have a degreasing effect, household alcohol effectively disinfects and washing-up liquid ensures pleasant freshness. A little homemade mix can even turn this task into a satisfying routine.

Stop flies before they lay eggs

The best way to say goodbye to maggots? Keep flies away! Various natural repellents can work wonders for this. White vinegar mixed with a few drops of lemongrass or eucalyptus essential oil effectively keeps these invaders away. A small bowl near the trash can or a spray that you can spray from time to time and you’re done!

 

Bonus tip: Remember to seal your trash bags tightly and secure them properly with a rubber band or a strong knot to prevent debris from escaping and attracting flies.

A little attention for a lot of peace and quiet

Finally, a few simple gestures are all it takes to keep your bins spotless and free of unwanted guests.
