Maggots are frequently found in compost and they simply are a stage in the breakdown of organic wastes. Maggots are the larvae of houseflies which are attracted to the rotting materials and lay their eggs on it, thus speeding up the rate of decomposition. When the compost is ready to use, there will be no maggots because all of their food has been consumed.
