How do you get rid of maggots in your sink??????

Question

We left for vacation last Mon. AND..... APPARENTLY I didnt make sure the disposal was clear SO.... now we have little maggots in our sink. We just walked in the door a coulple of hours ago. I have dumped straight clorox down there, and left the scalding hot water run for a long time, I've rinsed the sink with dawn as well, but these little "s.o.b.'s are not moving!!!!! Please Please someone tell me that this very thing happended to you and you have a really good remedy, Thanks!!

Answer 1

Umm never happend to me, but I would turn on the disposal and chop them up and pour more chemicals down there.

Answer 2

I was going to mention that you could tell your in-laws to go home, but decided you were probably not in the mood for lame jokes right about now. The problem is not the bleach, which will work outside, but not in the environment you have in the sink, mainly dark, moist and with constant liquids keeping the little critters alive. I assume by now you have discovered the root of their appearance and dealth with that.  

hOWEVER THEY GOT THERE, YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE SOURCE. If it was a bad piece of mewat that got stuck in the disposal, etc. make sure that problem is corrected first. Then you go to the home store and get some muriatic acid. Then you get some rubber gloves, just in case. Then you pour some in the drain. If you have two sinks, clog up one side with a towel first. Pour in at a good pace so it will cause them to be flooded down to the U trap under the sink. Give it about 10-20 minutes to destroy the varmints. Then flush a bunch of water through. Then remove the U trap and remove any comatose or dead maggots found there. Put the thing back to gether and you should be good to go.
