Title: Maggots.
Post by: Pesky Wabbit on August 11, 2008, 01:46:17
I found a dead bird on my plot yesterday. I went to move it & found it more maggots than bird.

Can I just leave nature to dispose of this corpse, if so how long will it take ?

I would shovel it onto a fire.  It will take ages to get rid of the maggots, possibly as late as the end of summer!  Also.  the longer maggots are there, the more chance of attracting other pests.

if you haven't got anywhere to burn it, you could also bury it in an out of the way area.
