Garbage does not turn into maggots. A maggot is a larva of a fly, basically a just-hatched fly egg. Since flies are attracted by smelly, rotting things, that's where they tend to lay their eggs and where the larvae can feed.

What do Maggot's eat?

Maggots eat any type of food, including rotten fruit, and dead bodies. Bleach alone will NOT kill them. Use boiling water; then the bleach.

If your food is rotting throw it away before it's infested with maggots....that's the last thing you need just make sure you follow these rules and you'll be fine.
