Things You’ll Need:

Pesticide

Boiling Water

Broom and Dust Pan

Trash Bag

Broom and Dust Pan

Plastic Bag with a Seal

The Quickest Way to Get Rid of Maggots

**************************************...

Step1

Kill all the flies with a common pesticide. While bug sprays have no effect on maggots (they actually seem to like it), they can effectively kill the parents so you can put an end to the procreation of future maggots.

Step2

Pour boiling water over all the maggots. This is one of the most efficient ways to kill these critters.

Step3

Sweep up the dead maggots and dispose of them in a sealed trash bag.

The Less Painful Method

******************************

Step1

Sweep the live maggots into one pile.

Step2

Scoop the maggots into a plastic bag with a seal and place them in the freezer. The extreme cold will make them drowsy and they'll eventually fall asleep permanently.

Step3

Dispose of the plastic bag in an outdoor receptacle.

Some methods recommend using carburetor cleaner or a mixture of Pine Sol, bleach and boiling water as an alternative. However, these substances aren't any more effective than regular boiling water. Dead is dead. Plus, you'll have less mess to deal with when you use plain boiling water.



Keep your trash covered to avoid infiltration by flies. Use a garbage disposal if you have one. The presence of rotting foods only rings the dinner bell for flies.
