I’ve left a bin….

[Lassh]

In the house for 9 days, partially uncovered and full of chicken, milk cartons, bits of cooked salmon, etc.

What will I find when I return tonight?! Bit worried but didn’t expect to be away this long!

Maggots?

Joking... just a bin full..

Totally maggots.
At the very least 1000 flies

House full of flies?

Probably just be a bit stinky but I wouldn't think maggots and thousands of flies inside your home.

Possibly flies

Your house will be full of flies and there will be lots of maggots.

You'll probably also be hit with a horrendous smell that will take a while to get rid of.

I reckon at best it will absolutely stink, at worst maggots. Good luck, update us when you get home

Maggots really!!!!

I once had a bin overflowing with maggots, it was like a horror movie. But it’s never happened since. Just bad luck.
It might just smell or you may have flies. But it’s all sortable, don’t panic!

Are people joking?

I’m not joking no.

It’s the last thing I need after the week I’ve had 😩

@Lassh

Are people joking?

Why would we be joking. A bin full of old food especially uncovered meat left for over a week is literally a flies perfect breeding ground.

@Galassia

House full of flies?

Urgh. I'd turn around and run straight out.

It just depends if any flies were in your house or not when you left. If no flies were inside then obviously you won't have maggots. Fingers crossed! And hope you are OK OP x

Maggots especially if house is hot too. We had in our wheelie bin the bag split. Loads of flies then maggots. Thankfully it was the week the bin cleaners came.

Thanks @Chocolatebuttercream x

Loads of flies, maggots and a big stench of rot.

You may or may not have maggots, they're not hard to get rid of, are you in a flat or house?

We’ve had maggots in our outside bin before when it’s been mega hot but never inside although I’m fastidious about emptying bins before I go anywhere!
I reckon it’ll just stink, I don’t think you’ll have maggots unless it’s an uncovered bin and you already had flies in the house but I’m probably wrong about that . Actually, after rereading your op you said the bin is partially covered (how?!), brace yourself!!
Good luck upon your return, please update us!

Try not to worry about it. Go in and deal with it straight away. It might not be as bad as you think! 💐 for your shite week

Stench, maggots, flies. Sorry!

Were there maggots, OP? 👀

Bless you, OP. I hope your week gets better I think it'll just stink. Put it out as soon as you get in, open the window & door. X

Even without bagged meat flies will smell it and lay eggs on the bloody bag
