Comments on: I hate maggots! http://www.spugbrap.com/blog/2007/08/i-hate-maggots/ This is a repository for my favorite scripts, regexes, commandlines, utilities, code snippets, tips, and other geeky things that might be useful to someone googling for an obscure solution some day. It's also a place to share my thoughts about companies I've dealt with, my favorite lifehacks, observations of interesting human behavior, clever and/or evil marketing schemes I've run across, and anything else I feel compelled to write about.

“Maggots”

Vile forms of Necros lie rotting my mind
Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
So left your ruined cortex behind
Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
[Chorus:]
Maggots! Maggots!
Maggots are falling like rain!
Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
The bowels of the beast reek of puke
How to describe such vileness on the page
World maggot waits for the end of the age!
[Chorus]
Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
Until those maggots began to fall
I gaped at God to receive my gift
Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
[Repeat chorus a lot]

I didn't want them on me when I pulled the bag out, and I didn't want them spilling out onto my garage floor, so that's why I initially tried to kill the ones on the edge of the bag and those just inside the top of the bag. Prevention. But that was before I realized that they were already on the floor.<br /> 2) I did stomp some of them, but I was worried that they would start climbing up my shoes/pants if I used my foot too much. While stomping one, another could easily hop on between my treads, and get a free ride into my house (or wherever I was headed next).<br /> 3) I'm not sure if they died. I didn't stick around for 30 minutes to find out, and I haven't opened the garage door yet today. If I find corpses within white blotches on the floor, next time I go out, I will let you know.<br /> 4) Whatever, you're just afraid to admit that you got all turned on thinking about me showering!<br /> 5) I didn't bathe in bleach. But the thought crossed my mind. I'd probably wuss out anyways, because of the potential for severe pain where the sun don't shine! Ouch!<br /> 6) Eh, we have some people come out regularly to treat our interior and exterior, and if we need them anytime in between, they come out for free. We could use a touch up anyways, because I'm seeing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spugbrap/226162615/">these bugs</a> downstairs more often than I'd like to (which is NEVER), anyway.<br /> 7) Yeah, we used to keep the BIG trash can in the garage, because it was convenient. But it got stinky in the summer, last year, so we keep that outside now. We just keep one trash can in the garage, which is pretty much just used when our car/van trash bags get too full. I'm thinking the vehicle trash bags will go in the kitchen trash, from now on, because that gets taken out like every day or two.<br /> 8) No, they're not roaches, but they're tiny, clingy, nearly invisible, and nearly invincible, too. I don't like them. I've never had to deal with roaches, so the only thing I have to compare them with is other bugs I've had in my house. Earwigs in our basement, at our old house, were worse than these maggots, I'll admit that much. But at least I could see them easier, because they were bigger and dark brown/black, on a light brownish (I think) carpet.<br /> 9) I thought about trying to lure them out of the garage with some food or something, but I figured I'd just attract MORE bugs from outside, so I didn't.<br /> 10) Nope, but I did say "maggots, maggots, everywhere!"<br /> 11) No, I didn't throw my clothes away. I just wanted some form of containment, in case any maggots came in with me, until I had a chance to throw my clothes in the laundry. I put my shoes in a separate bag, because they had squished maggots on them, as well as some poison cocktail that I didn't want to get on my clothes (or anything else in the house). I will throw the shoes in the laundry, too.<br /> 12) oh<br /> 14) Haha! Wish she'd taken a picture (and given it to you, and you'd posted it on flickr)!<br /> Who wrote 666 on your forehead, the maggots, or your parents? Or is that question redundant? Are you actually a human-fly hybrid, similar to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BrundleVeronica3.JPG">Brundlefly</a>? That would explain why you always vomit on your food before you eat it, and why you lack <a title="see section 'Plot', paragraph 5, sentence 5" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fly_%281986_film%29#Plot">"human reason and compassion"</a>. </p> @ClintJCL:

I'll have to call it #14, since I already said there is no #13.. 14) When I was 3, my mom let me play outside in the garden in front of our townhouse for a bit. When she came back to check on me, 3-year-old Clint was covered head-to-toe in maggots!! She screamed and had to hose me off... haha. They also wrote "666" in my forehead when I was in the crib.

Solution: Take trash out. Not your problem. Even if it's not trash day, I wouldn't bother to kill stuff that is in the TRASH.. It will just be carted away. News flash: maggots are everywhere and if something dies they will be on it within 2 hours. You can't kill all the maggots in your yard.. ever. Maggots will be in the trash dumpster, in the trash trunk, in the city junkyard. They're part of our ecology :) Hug that maggot!! :) Save the whales, too!! :) 2) 4 poisons to kill 40 maggots inside the house? It sounds like a job that could be done by about 20 stomps of a boot! Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose, since the poisons didn't seem to work. 3) I really thought bleach killed pretty much EVERYTHING. Surprised to hear them still crawl through it! Did they die 30 minutes later? 4) I don't like picturing you showering, but picturing you showering thinking every drop of water is a maggot is about as funny as that could be without introducing LSD into your water supply.. muahahahah! 5) Please don't bathe in bleach. You don't know what that could do to you. 6) You're actually calling pest control over maggots?!? They'll go away if you remove their food supply. They're everywhere, in every yard. But they wont hang out in site if they have nothing to feed on. 7) Trash in garage is a bad idea in my mind, because garage is semi-outside, so you are putting your trash outside in advance, attracting bugs. Although if I had a trash can INSIDE that was infected with maggots, the garage is probably where I would put it. If I had a garage... 8) It's not like they are roaches, man! 9) Maybe you should place some roadkill outside your garage, to attract all the maggots away. Please take pictures. MUAHAHAHAHA> 10) I hope at some point you said "My god, it's full of maggots!" Because that would be funny. 11) I hope you didn't THROW AWAY your clothes that you put in the trash bags. 12) There is no #13. hehe, i knew by the title this would be entertaining
