A trash bin is an enticing object for flies. A bin attracts flies if food items, such as meat products or sugary drinks, are placed inside it. Getting rid of the problem involves killing the pests you see and taking steps to ensure that no more flies are attracted to the bin. You can use a few household products to accomplish these tasks.
