Sorry, I don’t have pictures. I never thought to take any. I’ll try to get some later on and post them. When they’re alive they kinda have a cream/yellowish tint to them with a grey/black end, and when they’re dead they’re brown and kinda look like a grain of rice. I’m really puzzled about what they are/ could be. I could understand if maybe they were in the kitchen because of the trash and food, but not in our bedroom. My step-dad said that if the floor wast rotted then they could be grub worms, but when he looked at them he said they didn’t look like grub worms or your typical maggot. Of course the one’s he seen were dead too, so they had already turned brown. I’m really grossed out about this and it worries me that our animals may pick them up, or what if they spread from the little area they’re in now. It just grosses me out!!!!!!! If I had seen this before we moved in, I would have ran the other way…lol.

Hi Misty. I wonder if what you’re finding aren’t actually maggots but rather some sort of worm?

Any chance you have photos of these maggots?

I was wondering if maggots can be found on rotten wood, even if there’s no dead animals or rotten meat around? I have littls maggot looking things coming up through the carpet in my bedroom. I’ve been spraying them with bleach and sucking them up with the sweeper, but there’s just so many of them and they keep coming. We’ve only lived here for about a month. If this keeps up then we’ll have to move because I can not live with nasty maggots in my house, especially in our bedroom. Really, how gross is that!

I find that I get flies in my house as soon as I cook meat or fish.And i discovered this great fly swatter that is flexible.And i found out that once you kill a few the rest disappear.I hate those hanging in the ceiling thingys that the flies get stuck to.That is just gross unless youre going to replace daily

I had a huge influx of flies pestering my family this holiday and from sheer desperation I phoned a company called Rentokil pest control. They advised me to look in and around my home at what is feeding and harbouring these insects. To my utter disgust, I was inviting the flies into my humble abode through carelessness. They have all sorts of tips etc on their website and also a log that will help you to identify the insects that are bothering you. I hope this helps…

I would say no. Moths should be from caterpillars/worms, which I’ve seen CAN look like maggots.

Hi Tina. I’m afraid I personally can’t help you here. My best suggestion would be that you take the calf to the vet to get the wound cleaned and sealed so that it can be covered to prevent flies laying eggs in the wound.

Maggots tend to eat dead flesh, so the wound must be rotting, so I really would recommend a professional take a look at it.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Let me know what happens, if possible…
