When maggots attack!

Helium_Junkie · 14 Sep 2006 at 00:32

There are currently ~5,000,000 maggots trying to invade my house

W cant find the source, they appear to be coming from underneath the front brick doorstep... they climb up, then creep through the doorframe and into the front hall.

How the hell can we stop them overnight, ready for some professional maggot annihilator to do the honours tomorrow? :/

Its making me feel sick to think how bad it could be by morning...

this happened to me and my friends! basically we had a BBQ and i put a piece of meat in a bag on the side fro one of them, some silly pratt put the bag by te side of the fridge and there it stayed for 3 weeks... we only knew something was up when the house was full of hundreds of flys *vomit*

my guess is something has died either right next to or under your house. get digging as you reeeeealy dont want them to hatch into flys!

I had the same problem a few years back with ants.... several liberal coatings of thick bleech in boiling water down the cracks soon sorted the buggers out. If the boiling water doesnt kill them the thick bleech will.

Failing that, try bleach.

High a gang of mercenary Tench and get them to suck the area clean.

duh, they do wear tiny little "reverse" diving suits with 45 mins of water.

Helium_Junkie · 14 Sep 2006 at 10:05

Well, we tried bleach and hot water, but they kept coming. Albeit in smaller numbers. This morning I can't see any.
Sickening :/

The counting was done "Kill Count: x" style, a'la Hot Shots Part Deux as I covered them with bleachy death fluid.

I swear someone shouted "M-M-M-Monster Kill!!!"at one point also.
