Maggots in the House? We Remove the Source, Not Just the Mess
Maggots don’t appear on their own. They hatch from fly eggs laid on waste, moisture-damaged materials, or decaying organic matter. Once active, they spread fast across floors, bins, skirting boards, and drains. Bugs Are Gone delivers Maggot Treatment Services that eliminate larvae, stop breeding flies, and clean up the conditions that caused the infestation.
We don’t mask the issue. We remove the problem where it starts.
What Causes a Maggot Problem?
Flies lay eggs on organic matter. Within hours, the eggs hatch into maggots. These larvae feed on rotting waste, meat scraps, pet mess, and anything with protein or moisture. Unsealed bins, food waste, and deceased pests are the most common causes.
Most infestations start small and grow quickly when left untreated. Warm, humid conditions accelerate the life cycle. One overlooked bag of rubbish can lead to hundreds of larvae in less than 48 hours.
Common Areas Maggots Infest
We inspect and treat every surface where maggots hide or feed. Common sites include:
- Inside kitchen and outdoor bins
- Under appliances and heavy furniture
- Skirting boards and floor gaps
- Wall and ceiling cavities
- Carpets with food or pet spills
- Drain pipes and overflow trays
- Garbage chute areas in apartments
- Dead rodents inside ceiling voids or subfloors
We locate the exact source of the infestation and remove the breeding zone. Surface cleaning alone will not solve the issue.
Signs You Need Immediate Treatment
Early detection prevents further contamination. Contact us if you notice:
- White or grey worm-like larvae near bins, drains, or floors
- A sudden increase in fly activity around food or rubbish
- A foul odor coming from hard-to-access areas
- Clusters of flies in ceiling corners, windows, or vents
- Liquid leaking from bin bases or under skirting
- Buzzing sounds in voids, ducts, or light fittings
Maggots often crawl away from the source before pupating. Seeing them in unexpected areas means the nest is well-established.
Our Treatment Kills Larvae and Prevents Regrowth
We use a direct method that eliminates visible larvae, hidden eggs, and adult flies responsible for the infestation.
Step 1: Locate and Assess the Source
We inspect the site for decaying waste, organic spills, and signs of fly breeding. This includes bins, pet zones, kitchen floors, ceiling voids, and under appliances. If a dead animal is the cause, we remove it during the visit.
Step 2: Kill Active Larvae
We apply a surface insecticide that kills maggots instantly on contact. This product is approved for residential and commercial use. It dries quickly and does not stain floors or surfaces.
Step 3: Insect Growth Inhibitor (IGR)
We include an IGR to block larvae from developing into flies. This stops the next generation and breaks the cycle. The IGR continues working after the visible larvae are gone and protects against missed eggs.
Step 4: Fly Control and Prevention
We treat entry points used by flies including doors, windows, and vents. We apply residual sprays or barrier products to discourage future fly activity in the same location.
Step 5: Waste Management and Cleaning Guidance
We assist in safe disposal of affected waste, soft items, and debris. We do not provide deep cleaning but guide you on what to remove, disinfect, or replace. This step is crucial to keep flies from returning.
Where We Apply Treatment
Maggots follow moisture, waste, and heat. We treat areas where these conditions overlap:
- Kitchen floor gaps and appliance bases
- Garbage bins and collection points
- Subfloors and wall gaps near waste pipes
- Dead animal locations (rodents, birds, possums)
- Garage or garden waste zones
- Drain pipes, grates, and overflow areas
- Rental properties post-tenant departure
- Shared bin areas in units and townhouses
We treat private homes, food businesses, and shared living facilities.
Safe and Fast Application
Our products are low-odor, fast-drying, and safe for children and pets once dry. We treat only the affected zones and avoid unnecessary over-application.
You don’t need to leave the home during treatment. We provide clear post-treatment instructions and drying time to keep the space usable.
Why Store Sprays Fail Against Maggots
Most retail products only kill what’s visible. They do not reach into the source of the infestation or stop eggs from hatching. Maggots return unless the breeding flies are stopped.
DIY sprays miss hidden larvae and risk contaminating food prep areas. We use targeted, controlled products that address the full cycle.
