Why Do Maggots Infest Your Central IA 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 Central Iowa 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.

The 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.
