You're not alone, I've had them on & off for a fortnight. they turn my stomach. Problem is the little bu88ers crawl out of my bin & curl up underneath it???? Yuck yuck youck yuck:p

i am dreading going home 2nite to deal with it! well at least it is helping the diet as I cant even bare to eat i feel so sick!

loopyloulou_3

does salt kill them? i know it kills slugs!! was wondering if it did the same for maggots!!

also, once i have poored boiling water everywhere, what should i do with the bin bags? i was thinking of double, triple or quadruple bagging them (there is no way i can get to a tip before friday (when my bins are collected anyway)), but obviously there are maggots in the bags (yuck yuck yuck) can they chew their way out?!????

Beats what you're likely to find hanging round an Aussie bin eh Aussielass?
Heading for Aus myself on 5th September, not too far from you!

And Loopyloulou, you're doing better than I would be, in that you haven't actually thrown up.
Don't worry, they're not olympic atheletes, nor do they have the combined intelligence to invade via the cat flap and conquer. And boiling water really will do the trick.

loopyloulou_3

cool

the throwing up will begin as soon as i have to move the bin bags! then i will have that to deal with too!! i was tempted to be wimp and call my dad over to come help me! but im going to put some old clothes on, rubber gloves and go for it. Typical this happens when my OH is away

who needs men eh?!

It could be worse! dd's 1 & 2 went to their dads for a week and left bedroom in a mess i refused to tidy it on principal! dd1's cat sleeps on her bed, when they got back i insisted they tidy their room, I heard dreadfull screams! they had lifted a pile of dirty clothes up from the floor to reveal a dead mouse that the cat must have brought in it was crawling with maggots!!! i fled to get fly spray to kill them b 4 i could bear to brush them up but could only find furniture polish!!! sprayed them with it! they didnt like it and it seemed to slow them down whilst i swept them up and threw out of back door into field! now am real pleased i insisted on laminate flooring in their bedroom!!!!
