Fleas in rubbish collection

I've just put rubbish in my food bin and a massive load of fleas flew out! What can I do to get rid of them?

Fleas don't fly. They're not fleas. Do you mean flies? If flies you may have maggots/eggs in bin. A good rinse with Dettol should get rid.

Fleas jump. You'd know about it if they were fleas!!

It'll be fruit flies. Not really anything to worry about.

Sorry! Yes maybe they're flies, they are tiny however. We have egg shells in the bin. Will rinse with dettol. Christ I hate adulting.
