Why Maggots Are a Serious Problem
Maggots are the larval stage of flies, most often blowflies or houseflies. They hatch from eggs laid on decaying organic matter and feed on waste until they mature into adult flies.
They can cause:
- Severe odours and contamination
- Rapid fly outbreaks
- Health risks for pets and humans
- Food spoilage and hygiene breaches
- Infestations in bins, compost, kitchens, and even living spaces
In some cases, maggots may even appear inside walls or drains, depending on where the flies gained access.

Signs of a Maggot Infestation
You may have a maggot issue if you notice:
- White, wriggling larvae in bins, sinks, pet bedding, or compost
- A sudden increase in flies, especially large blowflies
- Bad smells from rubbish bins, drains, or floor grates
- Larvae in dry food, pet bowls, or near food waste
- Flies circling low in kitchens or near windows
If maggots are spotted once, they will likely return unless the entire breeding site is found and removed.
Our Maggot Control Process
At Detecta Pest, we offer a complete treatment system that removes the visible maggots and addresses the source of the infestation:
- Inspection and Source Identification
We locate the origin of the infestation, whether it’s inside a bin, compost heap, drain, or pet enclosure. Identifying the source is essential to prevent further outbreaks. - Targeted Treatment
We treat the infested zone with safe insecticidal sprays and disinfectants to eliminate larvae and any remaining eggs. We also treat surrounding areas to prevent reinfestation. - Clean-Up and Waste Disposal
We advise or assist with proper clean-up, including disposal of waste material, disinfection, and fly-proofing bins and food areas. - Fly Prevention Strategies
Because maggots always follow flies, we may apply a fly control solution in high-risk areas — especially if bins or drains are involved.
Ongoing Monitoring Advice
You’ll receive tailored advice on keeping future infestations at bay — from food waste management to fly-proofing techniques.
