It sounds like a fly got into your worm farm and laid eggs, hence maggots maybe? Ummm…I’d probably start over and try to keep flies away with mesh netting.

You are going to have to replace the soil. Its too badly contaminated to get rid of the problem. If you tried a chemical you would just hurt the worms.
Its easy enough to replace the soil. Check the worms over well before putting into the new clean environment. Denise http://www.thegardenersrake.com
