Feeder doors keep closing when I walk away

its horrible at this time of the year isn't it. We have a big brown wheelie bin for garden cuttings and leftover food and no matter how much I wrap it up you can bet I'll get the horrible little things at least a couple of times during the summer. They really turn my stomach.

 

Would the men be wearing nice white jackets?

Yes, they would and the jackets have some lovely buckles on too. Glad to know I'm not alone in recognising these public spirited citizens

Try sprinkling some Stalosan or BioDry in your wheelie bins - works a treat and I've not had maggots since I started using it.

Thanks for that tip Claret, I'll give it a try.

 

Unfortunately it doesn't help that there are 3 identical bins and ES brings ours in as part of his pocket money chores. Think I might try and find one of those big bin transfer/sticker thingies.

[Seagazer]

Thanks Claret, I'll certainly give it a go.

ooooh my Dad used to do that, he & my Mom divorced years ago I dont think maggots in the fridge were sited specifically now he has his own fridge he leaves them in a covered tub outside the back door - funny that

Why do they dye the maggots in the first place

It is not so much that they dye them but that the feed them different, powdered food, to make them attractive to different types of fish.

 

I once opened a box, which I thought contained maggots, in the garage, as it seemed to be moving, and hundreds of green flies flew out. it was like something from a horror movie.

 

If the box is buzzing - take it outside!

OMG yikes !!!

We have a garage fridge too,almost exclusivly used for hubbys fishing maggots & beer

My dad ended up having the same, when my mum got completely hacked off with finding loose maggots in the fridge (and casters in the freezer). My dad was adamant they couldn't be his as they were in bait boxes with lids on (yeah, right).

 

He also used to breed his own maggots on dead meat in the garage. Yum.

My brother used to go fishing and Mum didn't mind the maggots being kept in the fridge, what she did object to was him and Dad taking them upstairs and racing them round the toilet seat!

Not sure how it got there from the fridge, but I've just found a maggot that has turned into a pupa INSIDE MY SHOE!

you know the forum is definately dealing with the more shall I say controversial topics, PC it ain't - maggots in fridge, BO and dogs eating chicken poo - suspect needs health warning and eating whilst reading to be discouraged - I often munch my toast in the morning reading and giggling at posts - I may leave it a bit longer in future - despite being a nurse and used to the "finer" things in life even I draw a line at eating and reading some of topics.

You brought up the BO in another thread!

 

Not sure I can handle to controversy of maggots in fridges. *shudder*

I once put my foot into my walking boot, and there was a dead mouse in it. Eeek.

Yup Christian guilty as charged - I do like a meaty subject to get the old nashers into- not sure I could get them into a maggot thou
