Rotting organic matter is the preferred food source for maggots. Obviously, your trash bins are filled with all sorts of organic waste in the form of food scraps, etc.

Warmer weather will cause the interior of your trash bins to become hot and humid. These higher temperatures, especially during summer months, enhance the odor of food remnants inside your bins. This makes it even more appealing for files to enter the bins and lay eggs. From there, it's not long before your property is polluted with maggots along with the terrible odor of dirty trash cans. In a short time, these disgusting maggots hatch, growing into adult flies who then continue the breeding process. Just a few of these tiny maggots will eventually turn into a disgusting trash can infestation.
