Suggest effective ways to kill fly maggots or pupae?

1 Answer

Answer :

Vacuuming them up was probably sufficient. Meticulously clean the area around the floor and cabinets where the maggots were. Empty the the vacuum outside in the dustbin. The few that may escape the vacuum will probably be bludgeoned to death by the beater bar or brushes on the vacuum. Maybe a couple of flies may make it out alive, but that’s about it. We occasionally steam clean the kitchen floor under the cabinets and stove and move the fridge and clean the floor under there. But that may be considered a bit excessive.
