How to kill maggots
Gave my cat her usual bowl of cat food the other day, however with the heat, she didnt come and eat it
As a result, there seemed to be a few hundred tiny maggots in the food all wriggling about
As im not into fishing I didnt know how I could kill them, so I filled the cats bowls with parazone thick concentrated bleach, and almost instantly all the maggots frothed up and bubbled away
However I went back later on and the froth had gone, and a lot of maggots were still moving about, and appeared to be swimming away to their hearts content
Being a bit concerned that I had now created some mutant giant toxic hideous creatures that will attack me in the morning as green 20" flies, I used a blowtorch and set about frying them
They all starting popping, but it didnt half take some doing, and quite a while on a blue flame until they stopped moving and popped
Is there anything easier I can kill them with, as this way was long winded and didnt smell too good

I would have chucked the food out, but I wasnt around for a bit after putting her food out
The problem with leaving them out is that they dont take long to turn into flies, and then they lay more eggs and then more maggots
Do any of the garden places sell maggot killing stuff

Thanks Spoon, apparently most people on that site have tried bleach, and said it just seems to make them move faster
Boiling water or Kerosene seems to be the best way apparently
The blow torch was good, but the butane/propane doesnt last that long

I would eliminate the root cause, kill the cat and don't leave meat lying around for hours upon end so that the eggs hatch ... it's just scummy

As a fisherman's daughter, I have no problem with them. People used to put them in their mouths FFS!!!
Anyway, I usually just put them in the wheelie bin and let the binmen sort them out
