Some Types of Flies Lay Live Maggots
WouterOne way to kill maggots is to boil them with eggs in water. You can also use a garbage bag and sprinkle salt on it to kill them. Maggots can also live in carpeting and baseboards. To kill them, you can also use insecticides, either as a spot treatment or a broader spray. In addition, you should always use fly repellent to prevent future infestations.
If you are concerned about the safety of eating the eggs, you should know that some types of flies lay live maggots. Some flies lay hundreds of eggs. These eggs hatch after a day or two. Once the larvae hatch, the maggots will be pale white and about four to 7.5 millimeters long.
Once the maggots hatch, they feed on whatever they lay near. These creatures prefer dead animals, rotting food, and manure. They will eventually migrate to a place where they can develop in a dry environment. After developing and feeding, they will build a reddish-brown shell around themselves and stay there for three to six days. Then, they will begin to develop into flies.
Adult flies usually live for between fifteen and thirty days. Females can begin laying eggs as early as two days after hatching. Adult female flies will lay eggs throughout their life. To minimize your chances of catching the flies, it is best to keep your home clean. Avoid leaving leftover food or dirty dishes on your countertops, and always keep dog waste away from your house.
