“Maggots” are actually the larvae of a few different fly species, which includes blow flies, house flies, and fruit flies. A mature maggot’s size will depend on the type of fly it is, but the largest can grow up to 20 millimeters, or about ¾ of an inch, in length. Their body colors include white, off-white, light brown, pale yellow, or even red. They have pointed heads, blunt tail-ends, and no legs.

Maggots don’t just show up out of nowhere. They show up for a reason. If flies can access rotting material or spoiled food, they’ll use it as a breeding site to lay eggs. The maggots that hatch will eat the surrounding material, eventually maturing into more flies where the cycle repeats and the infestation grows. If you’re dealing with a fly infestation, search your property for potential maggot breeding sites. Common spots include where food is prepared and eaten. Also, check the pantry and nearby trash bins for any spoiled food and produce. When inspecting outdoors, be sure to check in and around the garbage bin for possible fly breeding sites. Consider that potential breeding sites may not always be in plain sight. Look underneath the trash cans, under appliances, in crawl spaces or attics, around clutter in garages or sheds, in gardens or landscape beds, or within tight cracks and crevices for any fly or maggot activity.

To get rid of maggots, the first thing you can do is utilize proper sanitation. By eliminating food sources, you’ll inhibit the pests’ ability to reproduce. Address all sources of decaying food and matter you’ve found during your inspection. The key thing is to remove any decaying material that the maggots and flies are feeding on. Once that’s done, you will want to use spray applications for further control of maggots and flies.

Start with pro-grade pesticides like Flex 10-10 with Martin’s I.G Regulator. Flex 10-10 is a liquid insecticide concentrate that’s labeled to treat flies and many more insects, and Martin’s I.G.R. is an insect growth regulator that will prevent eggs from hatching and prevents maggots from developing into normal adult flies. We recommend you use a hand pump sprayer, since you’ll be making localized indoor & outdoor applications. When spraying for maggots and flies indoors, you’ll focus your treatments around fly resting spots and entry points. Outdoors, you’ll spray ornamental plants and landscape beds where you’ve seen fly or maggot activity.

To treat tighter spaces or structural voids, you’ll need to use an insecticide aerosol that’s labeled to control flies like Pyrid. Pyrid does not have a residual and is instead used as a contact spray that delivers a quick and lethal knockdown of flies and many other pests. Simply attach the straw to the can’s nozzle, and press down to apply the product. It can also be used without the straw applicator as a space spray to treat open areas like above the trash can.

To monitor for fly activity around your home, you can install a fly light such as our Professional 1 by 2 Fly Light Fly Trap. As the trap stays powered, flies will be attracted towards the UV light bulbs and get stuck on the glue board that’s set up in the rear. Installation is easy. You can set the trap up to stand on its own or hang on a wall, and it will fit in any standard U.S. plug outlet. This is great to use in garages, backyard porch areas, or mud rooms.
