Most pest problems come from food left exposed or the wrong materials.
Tips
- Bury food scraps under browns
- Use a bin with a lid and a solid or wire mesh base
- Keep meat, fish, dairy and greasy food out
- Fruit flies: cover scraps and keep the kitchen caddy closed
- In bear country, follow local wildlife guidance
