Bleh. Just dealt with something really unpleasant and lost my appetite.

I hope I got the last of them and they don’t return. Never had this problem before.

Hope vinegar and water does the trick.

It's a maggoty year for some.... don't ask how I know.

Might have been because of my bin getting a bit smelly but they didn’t come from the bin.

Oh man, I had to deal with some when I got home last week. Dog bowl had been left out and doggo didn't finish this raw meat. One day in the sun and it was a bowl full of wriggles 🤮. I could smell it from the street.

Roaches? Flies?

Moths? White vinegar works great for killing insects, I hope whatever it was you killed the all!!

NOOOOOO 😭 I've dealt with those, because Mickey didn't eat all his food and some flies got in. They're quick about it ugh! So sorry!
