I can imagine the smell...OMG!!!
I thought I could too... until I actually smelled them. They're outside on the back deck (far side, downwind), and I can still catch whiffs inside the house by the door sometimes. Yesterday after I was done dealing with them for the time being, I washed my hands and arms and fingernails really well with soap and bleach water, lol. I could still smell them on me!! I think the smell was in my clothes or in my nostrils. Ughhh.... But at least out in the open air I didn't gag like I did when I opened them inside. The mailman had them in his trunk, btw... so he didn't have to smell them! He's really nice, but he told me he was awful glad to get rid of them! lol

Oh, I bought a screen and am going to try to separate them today. Wish me uhhh... luck.... and a strong stomach! :p

haha, sorry I missed the post , just got the grandkids off and back to the pc. Kat, my maggots are the same too, they are dying and half dead, nothing to do but throw them out, best to pupae what u can and then put in fridge, for later use, I hate the amoninia smell, u will have to take a soft washrag and wet it in warm water and put on some little soap and wash the inside of your nose with it, other wise it wont go away, probably burned off all your nose hairs! :lol:

 
So, I just stumbled across this while I was looking for another topic, but I'm curious if 1 year later you still have any from this OUTRAGEOUS batch? That video sickened me a little. You're a tough cookie!

wait... so did you receive this many on accident? If not, lol... why did you order 110,000 maggots?!?! LOL

I remember two times this happened, spiderpharm sent me an entire kilo of pupae without me ordering it! LOL.. i had fun with them lol

 
when there tiny all I can think about is one getting in the corner of my eye and setting up shop. :eek: :unsure: :sweatdrop: :no:
