Have you ever gone out to your garbage can early in the morning only to find it covered in maggots? It is pretty disgusting, and you might wonder what could cause it. It is good to be aware what the cause is since solving the problem will only be possible when you remove it.
As you probably are aware, maggots are the larvae of flies. They will eventually grow up and fly out of there, but how did they end up in your garbage in the first place? Well, the answer is pretty simple. A fly somehow made it into your garbage can and laid eggs in there. The problem with garbage is that you constantly put things in there that flies are attracted to. They can smell organic materials from far away, and once they’re in there, laying eggs near a source of food is ideal. Within a day the eggs will hatch and maggots will start eating their way through your garbage.
Usually, the maggots will disappear the next time you empty out the garbage, but if you want to play it safe, using boiling water can kill the maggots.
