How can I accurately identify maggots found in my home or garden?

To accurately identify maggots found in your home or garden, you can observe their size, color, and movement. Maggots are typically small, white or cream-colored, and wriggle or crawl. You can also look for any nearby decaying organic matter, as maggots often feed on rotting material. If you are unsure, you can consult with a pest control professional for proper identification and treatment options.
