Hi,

A few months ago our local authority switched to bi-weekly refuse
collection.

One of the unpleasant consequences of this is that our bin seems to
have become permanent home to large numbers of unpleasant
maggots....and the bi-weekly collection ensures some of them become
flies.

Can anybody suggest an inexpensive way of controlling/killing them?

I thought a dribble of creosote over the bin contents would make the
environment pretty hostile inside the bin.

Maggots breed on meat, so scrub the bin out with bleach.
