The litter tray

Maggot soup! (don't read if about to have supper)

I was almost single-handedly responsible for bringing a plague of flies!

How gross is this? If you look at the second photo, you can see some of the more enterprising wrigglies trying to escape over the side.

I keep a litter tray in the garden, which they've never used once. Been there through the wet, then sunny weather with compostable litter. Took the lid off, and found a foamy, crawly maggot gravy! Envy

Dumped a load of bleach in there, but DH's gone out for more. I'm currently keeping watch for any escapees, armed with a trowel. Then down the drain would you reckon?

Savoury Gravy, those vile little things STILL weren't dead after 2 bottles of bleach, and a liberal helping of sulpur, and basically any other chemical in the house!

Shan't be eating prawns for a while... Sad

I'd have tipped the lot on a flower bed in the full light of day - the birds would have made short work of them.

Yeuch though!

Ah the birds would have loved them. I buy them by the half pint Wink

Birds don't come in our teeny tiny dank dark space courtyard, patrolled by 2 cats though. I forgot how much birds love them. Back in the day when I used to go fishing, a little Robin would follow me along the river, screaming at me for maggots. More I fed him, the bolder he got. Smile
