The two methods for killing maggots are by freezing for a few days but if you have not got the time place maggots in bait box and cover with cold water then slowly add hot water till the maggots stop wriggling this keeps them nice and soft, if you go straight on with hot water they tend to stretch out ond go a bit tough as the have been cooked, if you only want the odd one or two for the hook you can rub them between your hands or along your thigh the heat caused by friction will kill them.

dont have them too deep in the bait box try spreading them a bit, use a large cat litter tray or similar, it helps the temprature rise more evenly.
