Let's face it, we all dislike the task of taking out our dirty trash cans. It's just one more thing we have to remember to do. The fact that the bins are not clean makes it all the more frustrating. During hot summer months, trash cans will be filled with all sorts of grim + debris that can fester in the heat. Food scraps, in particular, will create a perfect nesting ground for flies. Your hot trash cans filled with grimy trash is exactly where and when these maggots thrive the most.

But what exactly is it that allows these maggots to thrive inside of filthy trash cans + recycling bins and how does a professional trash can cleaning process eliminate the maggots and help prevent them from returning?

Why Do Maggots Infest Your Trash Cans and Recycling Bins?

When they’re searching for a place to lay their eggs, flies will seek out locations that offer warmth, protection and food. If not properly maintained, your hot, dirty trash bins are the ideal location for flies and their eggs to thrive since trash cans offer all of these things in abundance. Rotting organic matter is the preferred food source for maggots. Obviously, your trash cans are full of all sorts of organic waste in the form of food scraps, etc.

Warmer weather will cause the trash can interiors to become hot & humid. The higher temperatures during summer months help to enhance the odor of food remnants inside your cans. This makes it even more appealing for files to enter your cans and lay eggs. It's not long before your property is polluted with maggots (not to mention the terrible odor). In a very short time, these disgusting maggots will then hatch and grow into adult flies and continue the breeding process. Just a few tiny maggots will eventually turn into a nasty trash can infestation.
