How far can maggots travel?
Online Answer
In their quest to find a dry spot to pupate, maggots can venture 50 feet or more away from their food source. They are often spotted crawling across a floor, the ground, on garbage cans or even walls. They will be more prone to crawling on a wall if a garbage can is next to it.
