Would the food waste container smell and attract maggots and flies?

0

We recommend that you keep the container closed and in the locked position. Whether you store it indoors or outdoors, you should try to put it in a cool area out of direct sunlight. Flies only lay eggs on food if it is left out unprotected. Keeping the lid of the container closed would prevent this from happening. Because the food waste container has a lockable lid you could leave it outside without risk of it being broken into by vermin such as foxes or rats. Wrapping food waste in paper prior to putting it in your container will help soak up any liquids. Regularly cleaning the container will also help to prevent smells.
