Use a mix of hot water, vinegar, and dish soap to clean your bin.
Disinfect with bleach spray or hydrogen peroxide for added protection.
Spray a mix of essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and citronella around the bin rim.
These are powerful insect deterrents and make your trash area smell much better.
Always seal your bin tightly to keep flies out.
Store it in a shady spot to avoid heating up the waste.
Use bin liners to reduce leakage and mess.
Before tying off your garbage bag, sprinkle table salt or white vinegar on top of the waste. It creates an unfriendly environment for larvae and reduces odor.
