Suffocation?

But isn't that a good thing, because Maggots are decomposers?

I think you are meant to have these ugly creatures in it to decompose the stuff

[Saarath]

Ask them if they have any spare change.

[MechaFrieza]

Napalm

[Violeta]

What about drowning? By keeping the bin flooded.

I think he is right. We used to have a compost pile, and never worried about what insects were in it. Still makes good compost.

Do you know that they help speed up the decomposing process?

Some medical clinics still use them to treat wounds.

I have heard of that. The maggots just eat dead tissue.

They help break down the compost, just like worms do.

You should be more selective on what you put in the compost. Not everything should be put in the compost. I would not suggest meats as they can draw pests like flies, rats and others. They can also produce pathogens and harmful bacteria.

Yep, they eat around living flesh and only eat the dead flesh. A good way for doctors to remove the dead flesh and minimize the amount of healthy flesh that would need to be removed.

Leaches are another one that modern medicine brought back, though used for a different reason. They help promote circulation in severed limbs and such.
