Stop Maggot Infestations Before Heatwave | Leeds News

With UK temperatures soaring toward 36°C, authorities are warning residents to tackle their wheelie bins now—before maggots hatch and multiply in the heat. Experts recommend cleaning bins with boiling water and bleach on Tuesday or Wednesday to prevent infestations, especially since flies love laying eggs in warm, food-stained rubbish. If maggots are already present, pour boiling water over them, then sanitize thoroughly. Simple steps like sealing food waste, composting, or shading bins can also help keep flies away—and your neighbourhood maggot-free.
