I swept them up and put them in the garbage can and sealed the bag. I then spent the next 4 hours cleaning the entire floor. I lifted everything off the floor and moved the couches etc... washed all the floors with floor cleaner and hot water. Then I sprayed with fly spray all over. I guess we got lucky because 15 minutes after my husband put the garbage out, the garbage truck came by and took them all far away. There were a few strays for the next few hours which I killed by putting a paper towel down on them then stepping on them. have seen a few flies since then, but have become expert at killing them. TIP: flies can not see behind them, so wait till they land, then sneak up on them and THWAK with a dishtowel or newspaper. I have not seen any maggots since.

It looked spoiled and I didn't want him to eat it so I threw it and a lot of magets started crawling out. It creeped me out and now I think magets might be anywhere so I'm going to throw boiling water on them I don't want them to suffer or anything I just want to make it safe for my dog to go outside so he won't lick or get any poison in his system. Hopefully I changed his food before any maggots got on him or in his stomach. He's suffered enough he has a broken leg and he already keeps taken the cast off.

I was going to wash the wifes car and discovered maggots on the hose. I looked next to the hose which happens to be our garbage can and that was covered as well. I went to the garage and grabbed some old 87 octane gasoline. At $2.30 per gallon it is alot cheeper than any insect killer. I used about 1/4 gallon on the patio and it worked wonderfully. I let it all evaporate then washed the patio. Problem solved. I suggest using common sence and not do this by anything that can ignite the fumes / fuel. Be sure to be in a well ventalated area. I am not responsible for anyones mishaps. Short Answer: Gasoline

My ten year old daught is a complete slob, and would roll her eyes, and ignore everytime she heard the same lectures, "clean your room, no food in the bedrooms, put your plates in the sink", ext... Last night she was completly freaking out because a turkey burger that I had made for her over a week ago; while doing by weekly clean routine, had magotts on it. She begged and insisted thatI once again come in and clean up her mess. I stood my ground and stated that this time she had to handle her own business. On her way to the kitchen to scrape her infested burger in to gargage, she "dropped" (threw) the plate and it landed all over my shaggy dinning room rug, tiled floor, and even onto the livingroom rug. What a mess!!! I gave in and assisted her with cleaning up the mess. About two hours later I thought I had got all the little suckers up....but then saw some wiggling up from the shaggy rug....well it was getting late and I had worked a 13 hour shift at the hospital, so I sprinkled some baking soda over the entire surface of the rug.....hopefully when i get home today, this would have done the trick and smoothered the maggots....I'd really hate to throw away my Shaggy Rug :( .... maybe I'll try a carpet cleaner? Here’s a good one….
