There's an invasion of little white worms if you open the garbage can.The worms are not worms at all.The female fly hides her eggs in a meat source such as a dead animal on the ground or the trash can.Eggs hatch into flies.Nature's garbage disposers are crawly.They don't have their place in the trash can.The tips in this article will help keep those things out of the garbage.
Step 1: You can learn the species of fly that lays eggs in the trash can.
Not all flies lay their eggs in trash or rotting meat.Eggs are laid in apples by fruit flies.Bee fly larvae eat other insects.The flies that lay eggs in trash are called filth flies.The Calliphoridae are commonly referred to as bottle flies.Their coloring can be iridescent blue, green or copper.Within 3 days after being laid as eggs by the female, they can reach full size.They reproduce quickly in the warm weather.Some species like to eat flowers and leftover sugars on food containers, which is why they have an appetite for sweets as well.Musca domestica has a dull gray to brown body.Females lay 60 to 100 eggs in about 3 to 4 weeks.They reproduce less than blow flies and will cause problems.Fannia Canicularis is similar to the house fly.Their life cycle lasts 3 to 4 weeks.They rest with their wings together.Muscina Stabulans look similar to house flies but are smaller.The stable fly has a painful bite and also sucks blood from mammals, while false stable flies do not.Eggs can be laid in pet bedding and food dishes for up to 50 days.Eggs are laid in dead insects and bird nest to feed the false stable fly.Eggs can be used in meat products that have been found to be contaminated.
Step 2: Garbage cans that don't hold odors attract flies.
If you can, upgrade old trash containers to newer ones that don't stink.Some communities give residents a container.The resident of the home has to provide the container on their own.Number 5 plastic, which lets odor-causing juices slide off if your bags bust inside the can, is a good choice for plastic containers.High quality aluminum or polishedstainless steel should be used for metal cans.
Step 3: The garbage bags you choose should be better.
Consider a better bag if you can't upgrade the can.It's a waste of bags if you double them with low-quality bags.Bad-quality bags that break, bust and lose handles invite flies and other pests.You can find a high-quality bag by shopping around.Some people don't like the smell of the original fragrances in bags that have them.You can make your own natural alternatives.
Step 4: Methane gas can play a role in an insect's growth.
The gas is produced as living things rot.The female fly is attracted to the smell of gas.The smell of rotten food or a rotten houseplant is associated with this gas.The sources of methane gas/rot must be eliminated.
Step 5: Meat scraps can stay in the garbage for a long time.
The flies smell the garbage can and flock to it.Take note of the garbage truck day.The flies will smell your meat scraps if you don't dump them the night or day before.Place all your meat scraps into a zip lock bag and freeze them until that day if you can't use this timing.
Step 6: Save your raw meat for later.
The bones and fat can be seasoned in a pot of water.This is more delicious and less expensive than the prepared boxes in the store.The less meat smell attracts flies.Give your dog leftover meat bones.Dogs like to chew on meat bones.If the bones are too sharp, they can cut the dog's throat.If you talk to a vet, you can give your dogs boiled and cooked meat scraps as a treat.
Step 7: Remove all the meat juice from bags and containers.
Maggots don't need much meat or meat juice food to grow into flies, so cleaning up all meat smells will starve them and prevent them from turning your trash can into a buffet.The same techniques can be used to discard tools and equipment.Before tossing out the meat juice and newspaper clippings, make sure to clean the rags with hot water or in a tightly sealed bag or container.
Step 8: It's a good idea to rinse the can regularly.
A disgusting thing to smell for you and those who live in or visit your house is a smelly trash can.Even if it's every 2 or 3 months with plain water, you should rinse the trash can.
Step 9: It is important to properly dispose of animal and human waste.
Trash can be placed in sealed containers.Kitty litter, feminine products, leftover pet food, and dirty diapers need to have their bags tightly closed so the stable fly can't smell the methane gas and lay eggs in the trash can.Hay and straw can be used for animal bedding.Don't dispose of dead animals in the trash.Plants should not be put in the same can as household trash.You will have trouble with stable flies, blow flies and house flies if you do.Before tossing it into the trash can, put it in a landscape bag or sealed container.
Step 10: The time of the year when the flies fly is known as the maggot season.
Hot weather brings flies, but cold weather doesn't.If it's freezing outside, there won't be any flies to lay the eggs that hatch into maggots.If you live in a warm climate, you'll have to be extra careful in controlling the flies.
Step 11: A small amount of basil can be dropped into the trash bag.
Basil has a smell that flies hate.A whiff of basil will cause many flies to act crazy.It makes your trash smell better and you don't have to worry about allergies.You can use basil in a variety of ways.Oregano and lavender have the same effects.
Step 12: The evergreen clippings should be thrown in.
A thin layer of grass, leaves, or conifer needles will keep the smell of the meat in the trash can to a minimum, even if they aren't noticed by the garbage collector.Unless the garbage pick-up is the next day, don't place clippings in the trash can.
Step 13: The trash can, meat containers, and bags have wintergreen alcohol in them.
Many pests, including flies, don't like the minty scent of wintergreen alcohol.This substance can be used to keep pests out of the trash can.
Step 14: The meat should be sprinkled with Diatomaceous Earth in the trash can.
A kind of limestone consisting of thousands of micro-organisms which have sharp edges will cut the skin of any soft body insect and kill it.
