Bin bug

Okay kiddo, a bin bug is a tiny insect that likes to hang out in your house's bin or trash can. You know how we put all our trash and food waste in there? Well, bin bugs love all that yummy stuff! They crawl into the bin and start eating away at the scraps and leftovers.

Now, sometimes these bin bugs can be a problem. They can multiply really quickly and start to take over the bin. They can also crawl out and start wandering around your house, which can be super gross! Nobody likes to see bugs running around their home.

But don't worry, there are things we can do to prevent bin bugs from becoming a problem. We can make sure to clean the bin regularly, and keep it closed when we're not using it. We can also try using a bin liner or putting some lemon or vinegar inside the bin - bin bugs hate the smell of those things!

So remember kiddo, bin bugs are tiny insects that like to eat our trash and food waste. But if we take good care of our bin and keep it clean, we can prevent them from taking over our house!
