How Do Flies Come From Maggots?

If you have a flies problem, it’s important to understand how to deal with maggots. Maggots are tiny creatures that live in rotting food and other organic materials. They often infest garbage cans that are not sealed properly. Maggots can be easily identified by the small white worms they look like. The first step to getting rid of maggots is to eliminate the food source.

Unlike blowflies, fly maggots live for a longer time. They feed on dead animals and are often found in houses with unused animal waste. However, in the wild, most carrion is found by blowflies within minutes of death. Getting rid of them is much easier than dealing with flies.

Unlike adult flies, maggots aren’t harmful to humans. They will live and feed for several days before they migrate to another food source. They will then enter their pupation stage. When the pupa stage is complete, the maggot will turn into an adult fly.

Flies belong to the family of Calliphoridae. Most of these creatures benefit from light through photosynthesis. This is why you might see them in a well-lit room. Some flies also seek out company, so they can breed.
