I had a BIG 4th of July party and now i have maggots on my porch?

Question

I had a BIG 4th of July party and now i have maggots on my back porch. I placed the tables right at my back door to keep people from running in and out of my house. I put Sevin Dust down, didnt work. I sprayed Ortho Max, didnt work, i sprinkled Triazicide and the darn things are still crawling. I will spray bleach down if someone will confirm that my fear of blowing up something (house) wont happen with the heat and all. There were alot of flies for days and i found reading other questions/answers why i now have the maggots. I have a small dog and 4 kids and i dont want to get either of them sick.

Please advise

Answer 1

You're fighting a losing battle.  Unless there's a dead cat under your porch you're not going to be able to stop it. I've seen it before and it's just something to deal with. Be sure, though, that you have very good weatherstripping at any doors on that side of the house otherwise they'll pupate inside and then you'll be posting here asking how to get rid of flies.

Answer 2

Take a spray hose and wash your back porch off with a blast of water-then take some Pine-Sol/Water/Bleach combo and scrub the back porch-give another spray and your fine!

Now if you have a carpeted back porch-I dont know what to tell you!
