Can you attach an image? It might help us determine if it is, indeed, a maggot, or some other kind of larvae.

If what you do have is maggots they are a symptom of a larger problem and are not the problem itself. You need to look deeper to find out what that problem is.

Can they be the larva from pantry moths, like the Indian Meal Moth? Have you checked all your dry goods and/or pet foods? Just a thought.

It was asked "Can they be the larva from pantry moths,"

Typically, such larvae move upward. Often the complaint is "they're coming out the back of the cupboard and moving up the wall."

That said, an image would help us guess more precisely.

Something is rotting somewhere. Call a thorough pest control company, if it happens same time each year- that is an indicator that they are termite larvae?

Grain moths will nest in light fixtures, and the larvae land on the floor.

Check your pantry, your pet food, and birdfood supplies.

We have them all in the living room bath room and our bedroom and we love in a appartment and i have clean and there is no food or garbage in the house but they still keep coming and i cant find the source of the problem please

Hi.. I just saw this post. I currently have the same problem. I am a clean freak and my house is definitely not rotting... I live in a small apartment next to a corn field. Don't really hace a fly problem either. I keep vacuuming the floor and when I'm done and turn around there's a new one right in the middle of the room!

Can they be falling from the ceiling or lighting? Although I don't see anything?...

Post pictures. Once a critter is identified, you have a better chance of figuring out where it comes from. Most insects don't have very interesting lives so you can learn a lot by just knowing what they are.

Heres what I'm dealing with in my apt. HeLP

Not sure if pics coming through

Background story. Last Saturday we found a whole bunch crawling, we vacuumed and killed. Then this weekend we tried putting living room rug back and we noticed few crawling. Idk how they survived a whole week in the rug??? So we thought this was finally over then I found another one crawling tonight. I seriously thought the remaining might've been the rug. we poured borax and diatomaceous last wk, they were still crawling........I haven't cooked in a week, I'm so grossed out.

Also they're roaming only in the living room. Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom clear. We flipped everything in the living room, we idk where they're coming from. I currently have tape strips to prevent them from roaming to the rest of the place. Seems like they're on a mission to do just that.

Ug. I'm thinking those look like genuine maggots. One of my least favorite critters. Totally devoid of charm. Do they walk pointy end first? Are they about rice sized?

It is likely that something died in the wall or under the floor and these guys grew up in it. They usually leave their childhood home to pupate and that might be what these are doing. If that's the case, they really will be gone soon, or at least they'll be flies soon. Look for the puparia (like a chrysalis but without the glamor) next. They look kinda like dark brown grains of rice...if you find those, put a few in a jar so you can take a picture of the adult. :)

Oh yes I have found lots of puparia kind of ruined rice for me. Just yesterday I found at least 10 flies chilling behind my window curtain. Since you think something died, do you think I'll be having this problem for a while? I dont smell anything funky. I'm undecided about getting the office involved. I'm so embarrassed.

Its crazy but i am having the same problems. how do we get rid if them?

Same things is happening in my house, they really seem to come out of nowhere. I cleaned the garbage an all the potential source of food but there is nothing. There were tons under the carpet but I don't get what attracted them. I first thougth they were moth larvae but I never saw so many.

I have had the same problem, I am a clean freak!!! Was so disgusted, found them in the edge of carpet by end of house where my girls bedrooms are. I cleaned for 5 hours, sprayed insect spray killed them and them brushed edges of carpet to get spray in and vacuumed, cleaned out my vacuum. Found them in laundry room between two rugs I have in there, I put rugs in large trash bag and disposed of the rugs. I have not seen anymore maggots, but now flies are in the house we are killing 4-5 a day for past 7 days. I am mortified, I never found a source, a large pile of them. I am thinking of tearing up carpet and getting new carpet. Help?????
