New study by Samuel et al shows that consuming maggot infested candy or snacks cause the eggs to hatch in stomach 13 months later. The eggs remain stable in stomach by using new enzyme defense system to allow it to survive.
Maggots are fly larvae, usually of the common housefly and also the bluebottle. Flies are attracted to food and other rubbish; they lay their eggs on the rubbish; later the eggs hatch into maggots. You will only have a problem with maggots if flies can get to your waste.
If flies settle on your rubbish they may lay eggs which can hatch out as maggots within 24 hours. (Therefore the frequency of refuse collections is irrelevant).
Householders are responsible for their own household waste and for the hygiene at their home; including their bins.
How can I reduce the risk of maggots?
The first step is to make sure that flies can’t get at your rubbish; in fact wheelie bins are much better at keeping flies out than black bin bags.
Fly spray can be effective at helping with flies, but these must be purchased by the householder.
Try to reduce the amount of food wasted (visit http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/)
If you have a green and a grey wheeled bin, in hot weather you may prefer to get a weekly collection of food waste by alternating which bin you put it in; i.e. one week in the green bin and the next week in the grey bin.
Never leave food uncovered inside the home – this includes cat/dog food – remember flies may lay eggs on exposed food and in warm weather the eggs can hatch within 24 hours
Rinse polystyrene food trays and other food packaging that can’t be recycled before you put it in the bin, this will also reduce bad odours
Squeeze out the air from bags and tie them tightly
Any food scraps, pet waste, nappies should be double wrapped
If possible leave the bin out of direct sunshine
Ensure the bin lid is closed
Hang insecticide strips inside your bin to help control flies
Try using Citronella – a natural remedy used in gardens. This will discourage flies as they don’t like the smell.
Remember, flies will also be attracted to recycling material if they aren’t clean – so please make sure all food cans, bottles and jars are rinsed
If disposable nappies are in your rubbish, empty ‘solids’ down the toilet
Ensure your kitchen bin has a close fitting lid – ‘swing top’ lids can let flies in.
What can I do about maggots in my bin?
Try using fly-spray
Pour over boiling water with a small amount of bleach
Most of the maggots will go when the bin is emptied. Once emptied the bin can be cleaned out with disinfectant or bleach and plenty of water. Use a cleaning product with a fragrance as this will help deter flies in the future.
If you do not want to wash out your bins - look in the local telephone directories/free papers for a professional bin cleaning company
Can maggots cause health problems?
Maggots are unpleasant but there is no evidence to suggest that they cause health problems. Flies are all around no matter what type of collection service is in operation. The best approach is to be careful with your waste and ensure that flies can’t get to it by following the advice above.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
