Maggots crawling my kitchen floor.

Hi i m finding small maggots on the ceiling on my kitchen. Why do i have maggots on my kitchen floor. On the kitchen floor. The home is only about 7 yrs old w sound brick structure.

Dee on november 01 2017. Why are there maggots in my kitchen. House flies are considered filth flies and can transmit dangerous diseases to humans through their contact with food. This makes the kitchen floor an attractive place for maggots to go.

After hatching the maggots may wander around in search of food. Anything that has the potential of inviting flies is also home to maggots. The vinegar works at keeping the bubbles at bay as you don t want a ton of them over the surface of your floors or counters and it also has a natural antiseptic property too. You can t just use pesticides because they are loaded with toxic chemicals.

If you want to kill the maggots on the kitchen floor you need to be careful. Maggots and flies like to avoid peppermint and the peppermint oil also has the benefit of leaving behind a fresh clean scent which will cover up any rotten food smells. A reader recently found little white worms in his kitchen. The reader left dirty washing perhaps something like dirty plates or dirty rags on the kitchen floor over night and in the morning there were lots of little white worms on the kitchen floor directly underneath the washing we receive a lot of questions about little white worms and ironically these questions are rarely about.

Loose floor tiles and drains are also favorite places for house flies to lay their eggs. No signs of anything to feed off of on the floor under the windows or in the crawl space. Today i was walking in my kitchen maggots had covered my floor. You will also find them in guilty bins full of litter any food leftovers on the kitchen sink or carpets that are both dusty and damp.

I have no idea where they are coming from but i am finding them intermittently i e 1 to 4 at a time crawling across.
