Maggots in my dustbin - how to get rid of em?

harry66 (Competent) posted this on Tuesday, 12th August 2003, 09:18

Any ideas on how to deal with the maggot colony at the bottom on my dustbin? Can I just wash them out or will I need to bleach the thing or something? If so will Domestos or other thick bleack damage my plastic outdoor bin?
TIA

Bleach should be fine, it isn`t acidic, though just emptying it would remove all the maggots as you need a fly in there to make more. :)

Cheers - I wasnt sure `cos I have memories of my old man lighting a fire in a Metal bin when I was a kid - something about that being the only way of killing the buggers.

Keep the lid on for a few days then at arms length take off the lid and let all the flies bugger off....problem solved and not one dead.
