Maggots in my WBS jars?

2 of my WBS jars have little yellow maggots in them, they are about 98% colonized and the maggots are showing around the uncolonized area in both. I used the search function and see conflicting reports on whether i should just toss them or just let them do their thing and deal with the flies that come with some sticky strips or whatnot.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5398503#5398503 http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8524457#8524457
So I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Right now i'm thinking of just casing them if they finish colonizing and see how that works out since i don't want to take the risk of spawning them to hpoo like i had planned (not all of my jars are showing maggots so i've still got some to work with for that )
Any input from the community would be greatly appreciated

Throw them out. This is before spawn so you have control. Don't let flys in your house.

Don't even keep the jars. Throw them out or you will regret having kept them lol.

Flies are one thing...maggots are another. I've never seen maggots unless there's some serious gnats and flies with a lot of shit that should have been thrown away a while back.

Thanks for the advice guys. I guess i'm going to err on the side of caution and just dump them out in the woods in a shady spot and see if mother nature wants to work some magic.

not a very good pic, my camera is kinda crap and didn't want to cooperate very well but you can see one in this pic, i've circled it in red so you can spot it. If you cant see it very well but have an LCD monitor try looking from an angle to increase the contrast

they are about twice the length of a piece of millet and just very slightly yellow with no markings that i can see (like how a lot of maggots you see have a black spot on the body or near the head area)
i kept them isolated and away from the other jars over night and the small area on both that wasn't colonized (also where the maggots showed up) has shown 0 growth even with some heavy rhizo in the immediate area

Would it be possible to spawn the un-infested portion?

yeah sorry about the pic it was the best i could do
definitely not pins though they are unmistakably some sort of maggot/larvae... i probably wouldn't have even noticed them if they weren't crawling around

They are crawling? I've had a bug before, but it was dead. How the hell did they survive PC??

I have no experience growing, but the yuck factor of having maggots all over something I plan to eat from would make me throw that out. Then again, maybe the maggots just want to see some pretty colors.

yeah it had to be this, although i don't really see how, its the only logical conclusion i can come to since i highly doubt they could survive the pressure cooking
my jars are set up with 2 holes in the lid, one just larger than the needles i use for innoc and one for GE with a sheet of tyvec between the opening of the jar and the lid.... the innoc holes i cover with electrical tape immediately after i pull the needle out, but that had to be where the problem happened i imagine
either that or i have some crazy ass mutant gnats/flies that can lay eggs through tyvek o.O lets hope thats not the case
as far as the yuck factor though i don't really have a problem with that aspect... just some added protein imo lol... but the prospect of giving them a nice home in my grow area doesn't really appeal to me even though my curiosity is nagging at me
