This summer has been full of camps, travel, pool time, beach trips, and a whole lot of cold treats to keep us cool! The Icees and ice cream cones have taken a toll on our trash can and recycling bins as they do every summer.  

My kids and their friends are the kings and queens of the casual trash can toss as they make their way from the car to the house.  Did you know that August is the most active month in Florida for maggots, the larvae of flies?  This is when hot and humid conditions create the ideal environment for flies to breed and lay eggs, and for maggots to thrive on decaying organic matter, such as old ice cream and Icee cups. I know what you’re thinking… this is an absolutely disgusting article!  Yes, it is, and last August, we experienced a major problem with a maggot infestation in our trash can. 

This is when I met Nehemiah Harmon, owner of 352 Mobile Can Cleaners.  Since then, I’ve been on his schedule for quarterly cleanings of the trash can and recycling bin.  If you’re like us, with no time to power wash your trash cans, are concerned about keeping your home healthy, and have kids who casually toss their unfinished treats into the trash, you want to get your trash cans cleaned.  

Scan the QR code in the ad to schedule your first cleaning.  Nehemiah even offers FREE cleanings for first-time customers.  Avoid the maggot invasion and make the call. He can take care of your side walks and driveways as well.
