Answer 2

Take your bin outside and clean it real good. While it is outside spray the area inside with a good pesticide. You may have to spray the entire house. Leave the house for a couple hours. When you get back open all windows and doors so the house will air out. After this you should be able to use a deodorizer and be okay. Leave the bin outside while gone and spray it before bring back in. Clean with bleach.

Answer 3

spray the house with flying insect spray and put some bleach down the kitchen sink p.s also get rid of any fruit in the fruit bowl
