Can salt kill maggots

Yes, salt can kill maggots by dehydrating them. When salt is applied to maggots, it draws moisture out of their bodies, leading to desiccation and ultimately death. However, while salt is effective, it may not be the most humane or efficient method for dealing with infestations. Other methods, such as proper sanitation and removal of decaying organic matter, are often more effective in preventing maggot problems.
