Why is prevention important?
The maggots themselves are unpleasant, but they also indicate that flies are successfully breeding near your home.
Reducing fly activity helps improve hygiene, reduce odors and prevent future infestations.
Final thoughts
Maggots in garbage cans are a common problem in warm weather, but they are usually preventable.
By controlling humidity, bagging food waste, regularly cleaning containers and keeping bins cool and dry, you can dramatically reduce the chance of infection.
A few minutes of prevention a week can save you from having to deal with hundreds of unwanted visitors later.
