Hi All,
I hope someone can help identify & solve a horrible vermin problem I've just discovered!
I just moved a bed and discovered a little writhing mass of small maggots (~5mm) under a toy which was lost under there. There was no apparent food source. I lifted the carpet and discovered more maggots between the carpet and the unused stone hearth it was covering.
The room is on the first floor, floorboards, with a stone gable wall at the end where the maggots were. We have lots of mosquitos at the moment and a general tenancy for cluster flies in the attic - though I've no idea if either thing is relevant at all.
Can anyone identify what they are, where they might have come from, what I should do to find any more and how to make sure they don't come back?
Thanks a lot,
Adam
