| viking772003 | I recently left my basement window open, and when I went down there the following day I noticed a bird in my basement had gotten in through the window. I am really afraid of any living creature that isn’t human or a cat. So I closed my basement door until I could find someone to help me get the bird out. The next day I got help but we did not see/hear the bird anymore so I assumed it must have found it’s way out. 2 days later I went down to wash clothes and smelled an awful smell. I figured it had to be the bird dead somewhere, which it was. When I found it it was crawling with FAT maggots. I got help disposing of it and the maggots, then threw anything that was near it in the trash. I then washed that area of the floor with bleach. My question is, can/will the maggots wander away from the dead bird? Or do they stay near it? Do they lay eggs? If so how can I get rid of all the eggs? By disposing of the bird and every visible maggot, am I in the clear? If I bleach everything in the basement, will I be rid of them? Someone please help me I am a prisoner in my own home afraid to enter my basement. I can not afford to hire an exterminator. Thank you very much. |

| James | Hi Maggots don’t lay eggs. Don’t be afraid of them. If they wandered away from the bird, you would probably have seen them by now… I’m sure you’re all in the clear. |
