the maggots do not smell....the garbage in your can thet they are eating is what smells.
I say that after the can has been emptied by the truck and there is water in the bottom and stinky maggots
maybe they aren’t maggots maybe they are are stink worms, but whatever they are there is nothing like that smell I have ever smelled before, thank God. btw, the trash is in trash bags.........
