Frequently Asked Questions
Why did maggots suddenly appear in my trash bin?
Adult flies probably reached exposed or leaking organic waste and laid eggs. Warm temperatures can make the process happen quickly, which is why the larvae may seem to appear suddenly.
Does having maggots mean my house is dirty?
No. Even a well-maintained household can experience a garbage-bin infestation when flies gain access to decomposing food. The important thing is to remove the source and clean the container.
Will maggots disappear after the garbage is collected?
Many will be removed with the garbage, but some larvae, eggs, residue, or developing insects may remain around the bottom, lid, wheels, or surrounding area. Cleaning the empty container reduces the chance of the problem continuing.
