The Quickest Way to Get Rid of Maggots
Step1
Kill all the flies with a common pesticide. While bug sprays have no effect on maggots (they actually seem to like it), they can effectively kill the parents so you can put an end to the procreation of future maggots.
Step2
Pour boiling water over all the maggots. This is one of the most efficient ways to kill these critters.
Step3
Sweep up the dead maggots and dispose of them in a sealed trash bag.
The Less Painful Method
Step1
Sweep the live maggots into one pile.
Step2
Scoop the maggots into a plastic bag with a seal and place them in the freezer. The extreme cold will make them drowsy and they'll eventually fall asleep permanently.
Step3
Dispose of the plastic bag in an outdoor receptacle.
