What do Maggot's eat?
Maggots eat any type of food, including rotten fruit, and dead bodies. Bleach alone will NOT kill them. Use boiling water; then the bleach. Do not leave any food out of your fridge or you'll have a nursery of baby maggots. If you have a garbage disposal use it and put any the leftovers in there or feed stray animals. If your food is rotting throw it away before it's infested with maggots....that's the last thing you need just make sure you follow these rules and you'll be fine.
