Yes. *Non recycleables in black bag, securely tied........in wheelie bin,
lid closed, in shed, door closed. When opened a few days later, full of
maggots. *The latest is more worrying.........when I come home from work,
one kitchen window has 8 - 12 flies on it. I can see no reason why they
congregate there. They seem to be becoming imune to sprays, I nearly have to
drown them in the stuff! *What are your problems dj?

We have quite a big problem with flies here as we are in a National
Forest and next door is a farm. We have fly screens at the bedroom
window and our doors have mosquito nets on the outside, even though we
don't have mozzies, fortunately! I am just grateful that our bin is
emptied twice a week, once for plastic etc., and the other for
household waste.
