BLURGGHHH - Maggot's outside my door!!! Help!!!

[tigertum]

Just taken the rubbish out and OMG there are about a million maggots outside my door. I was nearly sick! What are they doing there? How can I get rid of them??? I just poored loads of hot, soapy water on them and tried to sweep them onto the lawn but they are everywhere - climbing up my pots and everthing. The bin is a few meters away and thats bloody covered with them too. All wriggling around.

Don't have any bleach and the most chemically thing I have (being a hippy Ecover user) is bloody windowlene.

I'm so yucked out and I can't be doing eith this at 10 to bloody midnight.

just kidding

exactly same thing happened to me last week they were all crawling over a rubbish bag - i moved the bag and they crawled off somewhere. find it hard to believe the birds could eat every single one in such a short period of time. gross!!!!

Hot salty water us supposed to work.

do you not have pidgeons? they would clear them up in seconds flat. Otherwise maggots crawl away from light, as I once demonstrated to my class. Unfortunatley when I turned my back the autistic girl ate them all (yes I do know that she shouldn't have been in a science lesson with a class of 35 and no learning support - tell the LEA) which meant the next group had to watch a video.

I had this problem, and used boiling hot water and Jeyes Fluid, it worked a treat.

Also I bought some kitchen spray with bleach in it, and everytime I put something in the kitchen bin I spray it.

So far, so good.

I think my maggot problem is sorted. I flagged down a wheelie bin cleaning service van on the way into town today and they went and cleaned my bin for £1.80! My bin is a maggot free zone ! woohoo!!!

Do you put a bag in your wheelie bin before putting your rubbish into it?

In case anyone is still suffering from smelly bins and maggoty problems - I have found a solution!

I have recently tried out Bin Fresh - a wipe that you put in your bins on top of your rubbish daily and it keeps the flies at bay, and as a result means no nasty maggots. The bins smell far cleanere and fresher too - what a difference it has made!

(You can get them from www.bin-fresh.co.uk)

nothing dead out there, is there?? that would freak me out, i'd be looking for bird corpses for ever more! lol

This is so eugh. My house has a slim bin in fortnightly collection and it'd been constantly filled with maggots. Everytime the bins been emptied it's been bleached and washed with boiling water. Tonight I went out into the back garden ...which is a astroturf and concrete and it is..
COVERED.. with lively maggots. They are literally EVERY WHERE..even on the windows and doors. It's surreal.. wth. It turns out that this time they seem to be coming from den den deeeeeeen the recycling bin. No idea what to do. Tried salt..boiling water..bleach...washing products. They just dont care. The house is rented so couldn't put boiling water on astrotutf as it would probably melt. I also found out that one of my friends spewed in the garden previous to the maggot attack. And flies lay A LOT of eggs in one sitting. Could it be from that? Argh help :, (
