Maggots
This is probably the wrong place to ask. but I only visit 2 forums and the other one is awful, so I'll ask here.
My cat kills a lot of mice. It's pretty hot now, so as a result we have some mouse-corpses filled with maggots. I've read that sometimes they can be a danger to living animals and humans, and I really don't want my family or my cat to get any as a result of being outside. Any tips or ideas? |
The maggots aren´t harmful (I never heard that they are :-?), but the dead body is!
You should get disposed of them, before your cat accidently eats something of it. A lot of bacteria is on it and the foul meat can make your cat really sick! |

Maggots actually CAN BE harmful. They'll eat anything they can. One person nearly went blind due to 1 eating his eye, and I don't even want to think what it would do to a cat's organs.

Get rid of the bodies, stat! No need to have them just lying around. Ugh.

Rubber Gloves, a big plastic bag and a lot of Germicide.
Get rid of the bodies as soon as you can, put them in a bag (if the smell goes through it you need another layer) and disinfact the place where it was laying. When my cat killed a bird, I managed to burry it at once before someone noticed ;) |

Will still get rid of it though. But good god it's disgusting. |
Are you just collecting dead mice or what? Dispose of the bodies, you nut.
