Maggots in Wounds

Some flies will deposit eggs on wounds or cuts and the maggots will develop in decaying flesh. Dilutions of Co-Ral 11.6% EC or 25% WP can be mixed with water and applied directly to wounds and surrounding areas. Follow label directions. Caron IV (permethrin) can be used on wounds to kill or repel flies.
