[quote=Anonymous]Ok last June (2012) I was completely grossed out when I saw clusters of maggots in random spots around my house. At first it started with a marked increase of flies. I wasn't very concerened because I had opened the windows and doors for fresh air, so I thought they just flew in. But when I noticed on my hardwood floor what looked like spilled rice, and a few feet away another cluster but in the carpet and realized they were MAGGOTS ... it was everything for me not to vomit on the spot. As I vaccuumed them up, more SQUEEZED their way out of the carpet...as if I was disturbing their nest from the vacuum's vibration. They loved dark spots, so a purse I had put down on the carpet for a few hours had maggots underneath when I lifted it. As well, they were under papers, behind a shelf, near a plant....it was like a raw chicken MUST have exploded at some point during my sleep!!!! Hours later and literally vacuuming then combing my carpet with toothpicks ...I was satisfied I was done. I emptied the vacuum bag and said good ridence to that horrible experience....right??? No Exactly one year later, they are back. Less of them but really, anything more than zero is NOT TOLERABLE. So my thoughts on extra flies laying eggs in my carpet last year and (hardwood?) blah, blah, blah is incorrect as this appears to be "seasonal carpet maggots". I'm working on quotes to rip out my carpets and put hardwood or bamboo anyhow because of new found allergies and last years maggots....I'm super scared to see what's underneath......btw....I tend to shampoo my carpets with a company a few times a year and also own my own steam cleaner .... Help....what is going on????[/quote]
