SavatheWolf | Ok, so I noticed there were maggots in the guinea pig cage, and I thought ‘Ok, no big deal, it won’t happen again, we’ve just been sooo busy, but next time we’ll clean it sooner’ So I clean it out and take the garbage upstairs, except that it thunderstorming outside, and lightning is almost touching the trees. So I set it in the garage. Big mistake. The maggots ate their way out. So I spent three hours cleaning up maggots. But the flies are back as soon as I cleaned out the cage. So I need help. What do I do that won’t hurt my piggy but will kill those maggots? |
James | Hmmm, if you’re having such a problem, you’ll need to clean it out and try and prevent the flies from getting in. Maybe put a fly trap of some sort near the cage? Or visit your pet store and see why the cage is being targeted. |
SavatheWolf | We’ve put fly paper up now, I checked piggy for infection. None so far, thank goodness. We are hanging up a fly trap outside as well, hopefully with both it will reduce the amount of flies. Any more advice? |
James | Wow, fly paper. Nice idea. No other ideas for now. Let me know how that goes though. |
