A smelly kitchen bin is among the worst household smells. A buildup of cooked and uncooked food, leftover kitchen scraps, and even animal food contributes to a stink beyond all stinks. And it’s all heightened in summer with the extra heat that ramps up bacterial growth and speeds up the decomposition of organic waste. What we’re left with is a bad smell emitting from our kitchen bin.
But, while we hold our noses, insects swarm in and feed on the goods, invading our homes and spoiling our summer.
