Goodbye to Worms in Garbage Cans: You Only Need a Spoonful of This Ingredient That You Enjoy So Much

By Lesia

In this article, I will show you how to permanently get rid of the worms that infest your trash can. No one knows this method.

How to Keep Your Home Trash Can Clean

To keep your trash bin clean, it is crucial to carry out separate waste collection. This way, you will only have to deal with wet waste.

Separate collection involves using different containers and distributing them as follows:

  • Grey container: intended for organic waste and waste that cannot be disposed of in other containers. It also includes electrical and electronic waste.
  • Yellow container: for plastic and aluminium containers such as bottles, tubes, bags, plastic cups, etc.
  • Green container: for glass bottles and jars. Light bulbs, mirrors, ceramics or tableware are not accepted.
  • Blue container: paper and cardboard without staples, plastic or dirt.
  • Brown or orange container: in some cities it is used for organic waste, in others it is used for waste that must be taken to special collection points.

However, this separate collection may not be enough. That is why I propose a more effective method to keep your trash clean.

The Ultimate Remedy to Get Rid of Worms

One of the most effective ways to prevent worms from invading your trash can is to add an ingredient that you use every day.

First, wash the trash can at least once a week to prevent the build-up of food residue. Then, let it dry before pouring in this solid but easily soluble substance. We are talking, of course, about table salt. Pour it generously to create a thick layer and then add the trash bag.

The salt absorbs any liquid that leaks from the bag, preventing the decomposition that leads to the appearance of worms. This way, no insects will breed in your bin and it will always be clean!
