Maggots are the larvae of flies. If you want to use chemical agents, any pesticide that will kill flies will kill maggots. But you are likely to get a fresh crop of maggots unless you remove all traces of the decomposing material in which flies like to lay their eggs. It's amazing how quickly flies will find a piece of unnoticed garbage that has fallen behind a counter or elsewhere, and lay eggs that soon turn into maggots. |

This question brings back a memory of many many summers ago...Eeek I left a green garbage bag in my foyer and went away on vacation for 2 weeks. Upon my return, I picked it up to take it out and thousands of maggots fell out of the bottom of the bag............ewwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeee I used an insect spray to eventually kill them all off....but it took many weeks as they tend to crawl into tight, hidden spots...argh........ Thats the last time I ever foolishly left any garbage out in the heat. Learned my lesson big time.... |

I work in a funeral home and one of our worst fears are maggots, fortunately we just keep flies out, so basically an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure. Formaldehyde doesn't really slow them down either. One would have to use kerosene if i remember correctly. Or course I think the best course of action would be to just call an exterminator. |
