Looks like they are moths because we found 2 actual moths in the past two days. Looks like I am going to go vomit, then rescan the cupboards.

if they are moths, then freezing the foods they may have eggs in for 2 days kills them off.

We used to get them from the wild bird seed we'd buy in bulk. I learned to buy the seed in smaller amounts and store it in tightly closed metal containers.

The other thing to look for is they might not be maggots of flys, but worms of moths.

I saw a special with that one night, they figured out that came from the Civil war time. There were soldiers that had sores that were clean and healing because the maggots ate the decaying infected flesh.

Appreciate the suggestion. I know it was removed from sales .... mostly due to people being stupid and using it in non-compliant ways (i.e. not in accordance with the label).

I still believe that - if used correctly - it's one of the best pesticides we've ever had.

You can do some research into DDT as well. Not nearly as harmful as the tree-huggers would have you believe. But now it's a "dirty word" ...

Using maggots to clean slow or non-healing wounds (like with diabetics, and others with circulatory issues) is coming back into fashion... The maggots only eat dead/decaying tissue, and are VERY effective at cleaning the wound.

Plus might want to google "chlordane ban" for more info.

I'll have to go with moths also. Look to see if you have some type of nut laying around(behind a counter or fridge or some shelf up high). We own birds and the seed we buy have eggs all the time. You can't get away from it. Only way we found to kill off the eggs was to freeze the seed until we give it to the birds. If it is moths, they do have traps that work well for them. Took us about a month to get rid of them once we found and removed the source of food for them.

Good luck

Still gross as F_CK, though, in my personal opinion... ;)

Actually the maggots probably helped keep her alive longer... they would have eaten the infection in the bedsores.

said by PolarBear :

That was my first thought. I do this twice a year, whether I need to or not. I frickin hate bugs.

Woman found infested with maggots may not survive...
