How to get rid of maggots?

Question

I've tried everything sources on Google has said to try, from pouring water down bleach on them, pouring salt on them, and to spraying them with an ant killer spray, but nothing seems to kill them. They are all on the kitchen floor and I saw a few in my brother's room (which is connected to the kitchen).

I've tried sweeping them up, but when I came back from dumping them outside there were more of them. It was like I haven't even swept them up. How do I get rid of maggots?

You must have a food source somewhere in your house. Maybe in the wall, floorboards, trash receptacle, cat litter box, somewhere. You must find this, to get rid of the maggots, wet some toilet paper, wipe them up and flush them down the toilette or put them in a plastic bag that has a tight seal and toss. Good Luck!

They have to be coming from somewhere,  Complete cleaning of both rooms including mopping the floors.  Check shoes, bedding, window sills.  Maggots come from fly eggs, think like a fly, where would you lay those eggs?

Maggots survive on eating organic material, especially meats.  Check your kitchen thoroughly for any food waste and also check around and under your house for any dead animal.
