Maggots in the kitchen!

yerayeah

So I was there going to empty the bin, picked up the bag and it was absolutely crawling with maggots. I jumped about 10 feet into the air. The smell is putrid. And of course, as luck would have it we have a spot check tomorrow and I'm the only one in the house at the moment.

So what I want to know is does anyone have any knowledge in the field of maggots!:pac: How long do they take to turn into flies? Will said flies be able to fly out from under the bag? Could I chuck a load of salt or anything else that would be lying around the house down into them and take the whole lot of them down?

And most importantly should I be a man and do something about it myself or wait for someone else to come up tonight and spot it and let it become their problem?!

OP, nuke the bag from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

Are the maggots in the bin or on the bag?

Maggots normally have 10 nests in your home, if you've found one they you need to look for the other nine.

Your best bet is to move out for a month and it's going to get messy.

Salt won't kill them, maggots rely on a sodium rich diet to reproduce.

'Interaction between humans and maggots usually occurs near garbage cans, dead animals, rotten food and other breeding grounds for maggots. It may take 8–20 hours for maggots to grow.

A major problem also arises when maggots turn into flies and start the life cycle over again. Within a few generations the number of maggots grows exponentially and becomes a serious problem. Professionals can remove maggots or many over-the-counter bug sprays can be used to deter flies and maggots. Keeping rubbish in a sealed container and using a garbage disposal or freezing rotting leftovers until waste collection day helps prevent infestation. Sometimes introducing an environmental control, such as Histeridae, also help reduce maggot populations'

Take out the trash?

Why don't you put the bag inside another bag and chuck in some jeyes fluid.
Then put the bag out in the bin.

They're on the bag which I suppose means they're after eating through the bag.

Feck sake like, who'd have thunk it, there's a downside to laziness. This is what you get when instead of emptying the bin you just throw another black bag on the ground...

Their maggots, not slugs. Dont know if salt will kill them.

Grow up and take the whole can outside, put the bag inside of a fresh bag feck it into the bin and clean the can already. Hose and soap ought to do it.

Soon you'll be over run. Your only hope is to try and integrate yourself into their society and learn their customs, maybe you'll even fall for one of their women. In time your differences will be forgotten and you and your maggot brethren will look back on the whole 'bin incident' and chuckle fondly while sipping a fine brandy.

KCl?? I'm moving out in a couple of weeks so I'd say I'll forego the maggot hunt!

Wikipedia was my first port of call too:D I dunno bout just taking it out, best case you get maggots all over the carpet and kitchen, worst case you get maggots and old, gone off food in a big heap on the kitchen floor. The other thing is I've a bitch of an exam tomorrow so I wouldn't have time to clean up a mess like that!

Archeron

Feed them any decaying flesh you can find and raise them as your own personal army.

If you have to kill your room mates to get a fresh supply of decaying flesh, well, do you want your own personal army or not?

Your're not seriously going to leave it there?
I know time flies but not so quick that you can't clean it up by tomorrow.

Spose not. I'll wait for someone else to come up tonight I'd say and play rock scissors paper or something or else just take it out together so it's over with faster...

Gummy Panda

when in doubt, cleanse by fire.

I suggest covering said bin in petrol, igniting it and throwing it over the back wall into the neighbours garden. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.

yerayeah

I'm sure they'd see the funny side of it eventually:)

Au contraire Gummy Panda, the OP might not use enough petrol.

Make sure you use at least 5 litres of petrol, if you don't use enough you'll just piss off the maggots and they'll come after you.

Also make sure that you don't touch any of the maggots eggs (they're practically invisible).

If you think any of your clothes/belongings have touched their eggs you need to burn these too.

Actually might be better off getting 10 litres of petrol to be on the safe side.

BlackWizard

Fry them in oil on a pan. Dip each one in vinegar or lemon juice and then eat. Delicious.

ejmaztec

You could go out of your way to get bitten by the one that glows in the dark, and devote the rest of your life fighting evil as Maggotman. All this depends on whether you're any good at photography, or you won't be able to get a job as a newspaper photographer, which is essential to maintain cover.

And to be sure to be sure, I'd say I'll fire in a few cans of lynx to get rid of the smell as well before I light it up.

Ah now, that would be acting the maggot:)

Don't use Lynx.

Maggots are clever bàstards, they know all about the Lynx effect. They'll jut use it to attract more female maggots, turn them against you and attack.

You can use Old Spice though, they hate Old Spice.

Gordon

Ah maggots, reminds me of when I made chicken and rice soup one day and then realised that I didn't actually put rice in the pot, I left the chicken out a bit too long.. Suffice it to say - boiling water kills them. Can you not just take the bag to the skip? Or go to a fishing tackle shop and sell them, could make a bit of money!

Right, progress report. Got bin bags from the girls next door and covered the top and bottom of the bin then fucked the whole bin into the skip down the road.

I like to think they're in heaven on heart now with all manner of decomposing niceties in their new environs. I also like to think that as they grow up so fast, that whoever is next to go throw something into that skip could be getting a face full of flies!!
