4.Add Straw or Newspaper
Place a layer of straw or newspaper at the bottom of the bin to help absorb moisture and keep the bin drier.
5.Clean the Bin with Vinegar
After emptying the bin, clean the inside with cleaning vinegar. Flies dislike the smell of vinegar and are less likely to return. Many municipalities also offer cleaning services for trash bins, although there may be a fee. Contact your local council for more information.
Fighting Maggots with Ivy and Lavender
If flies have already managed to lay eggs in your organic waste bin, place a branch of ivy or lavender in the bin. Maggots dislike these scents and may even die from them. Another way to combat maggots is to cover them with sand or salt. The slimy creatures cannot move well in sand and cannot survive in salty environments. However, keep in mind that adding too much sand to an organic waste bin may disrupt the composting process.
By following these tips, you can keep your trash bin maggot-free and avoid unpleasant smells during the warmer months!
