Dealing with flies and midges buzzing around your trash can? It's a common issue—they're drawn to lingering odors from food waste.
Skip the chemical sprays. This simple, time-tested home remedy using baking soda neutralizes smells effectively and keeps flies at bay.
Here's how it works:
Contents 1. Start by thoroughly cleaning your trash can.
2. Sprinkle two tablespoons of baking soda across the bottom.
3. Insert a new garbage bag.
4. Add two more tablespoons of baking soda inside the bag.
5. When odors start to build, sprinkle an extra spoonful of baking soda on top of the garbage.
No more flies swarming your kitchen trash can! It's a much fresher environment, especially during summer when pests are rampant.
Refresh the baking soda weekly to maintain effectiveness. This method scales easily for larger outdoor bins—simply increase the amounts based on size, with or without a liner.
