Maggots in pipe that flushes into toilet...

Maybe you have sewer flies? And cute little baby sewer fly maggots?

I first saw them just in the toilet bowl so I don't know where they're coming from for sure. There isn't a horrible smell, but it ain't perfume.

I typed my situation incorrectly. I don't know that they are maggots but they are definitely larvae and I flushed out the black tank yesterday just w water, then I saw more larvae in the overflow pipe of the toilet.

I want to do whatever I need to do to cover my bases...I live in NE florida...maybe it'll freeze? Jk

Your problem here is that the pipe from the toilet to the black tank is not "clean". You need to buy a Toilet Wand. Run it up and down the inside of the pipe to clean all the "stuff" that is sticking to it. you are probably experiencing an unpleasant odor too.

Good luck

Do I understand this correctly? Do maggots get flushed into the toilet bowl when you flush the toilet? I might be wrong, but as I recall for my piping, the water flowing to the toilet comes right from the same lines that supply water to the sink and shower/bath. So sanitizing your overall system will also sanitize your water supply to the toilet. Something is VERY wrong if you've got maggots in there. The big question is how did they get in there, and WHY did they get in there, as BuckBarker said, they gotta be eating something. And that ain't good, because it means that the rest of your water line (supplying water to sink and shower) is also contaminated. I would sanitize repeatedly and use a stronger than normal chlorine mix. Yuck!

Jeebus!!! You have flies in there munchin' on something.

Typically by running diluted bleach through the system.

Maggots in the fresh water system go beyond just sanitizing though. You may need to disassemble or ever replace lines and fixtures to get them out.
