You open your trash can and find an unpleasant surprise: tons of tiny white larvae swarming at the bottom. Where do they come from? How did they invade this space so quickly? The answer is simple: flies. Attracted by decaying waste and moisture, they lay eggs that hatch within hours. If left unchecked, these larvae develop into adult flies, ready to continue the cycle. Fortunately, there are simple solutions to prevent this unpleasant invasion.
Top Tips for Getting Rid of Larvae and Preventing Their Return
Vinegar: A Powerful Natural Repellent
If you want to get rid of larvae quickly, start by thoroughly cleaning your trash can. Use a garden hose or a bucket of warm water to rinse the inside.
Next, prepare a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray generously inside and outside the trash can. The vinegar scent repels flies, preventing them from laying eggs again.
To enhance the effect, add a few drops of lemon or eucalyptus essential oil, which have proven repellent properties.
