Yes, diesel fuel can kill maggots due to its toxic properties. When applied directly, the chemicals in diesel can suffocate and poison these larvae. However, using diesel fuel for pest control is not recommended, as it poses environmental hazards and can contaminate soil and water. Safer, more effective methods are available for dealing with maggot infestations.
