Why Do You Get Maggots in Your Garbage Cans?
Have you ever opened your trash can and found it crawling with maggots? Yuck! These little wigglers love to feed on your garbage.
If you’ve got young kids, you’re probably throwing away a lot of food, wipes, and flies’ and maggots’ favorite delicacy of all - dirty diapers. All of those things are like a beacon for flies, and the vicious cycle begins.
Flies lay eggs in the trash, and when these hatch, you get maggots. They're especially common in warm weather. So, if you live in Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, or Paulding counties like we do, you might see them more often.
So here's the main question: How do you get rid of maggots in your garbage cans?
Why Maggots Are Bad News
Maggots aren't just gross. They can bring germs into your home and onto your property, putting you and your family at risk of getting sick. They also make your trash cans smell terrible.
And, if left alone, they turn into more flies, leading to more maggots. It's a never-ending cycle!
DIY Ways to Kick Maggots Out
Maybe you've tried pouring boiling water in your trash cans or using vinegar. These can work, but they're not always the best fix.
Using these or common household cleaning products is a short-term fix that goes right out the window next week when you reload the cans with more trash.
Plus, who has time to clean their trash cans every week? Not you, right?
It’s dirty work, takes forever, and involves getting soaked with the overspray from your hose, covered in whatever was living in your garbage can, and having to reach deep into the recesses of your cans with a scrub brush just to make sure you get everything.
No thanks.

How We Keep Those Pests Away

Extra Tips to Keep Your Cans Maggot-Free
Along with regular cleaning from GenieBins, here are a few things you can do to keep your garbage cans free of gross pests:
Always seal your trash bags tightly. This is especially true for the bags with food, diapers, and anything else flies or maggots would feed on.
Don't leave food scraps open in the can. We know how tempting it is to just walk by, open the lid, and throw in your fast food bags or Starbucks cups, but that’s what starts the whole process of flies finding your cans.
If you can, keep your cans in a shady spot. As food heats up in your cans due to direct sunlight, it spoils more quickly, gives off a stronger odor, and attracts flies more quickly.
