Could zombies survive a maggot outbreak?

I had this discussion with Castro a couple of months ago one hungover morning in Cologne. The pair of us are obsessed with zombies and both spend much of our time plotting our plan of action were a zombie outbreak to occur at any moment.

I posited the theory that one way of defeating zombies is with maggots. I got the idea from an episode of House where they used them to get rid of all this burnt dead flesh off this kid. Maggots (as we all know) only eat dead flesh. Surely a zombie is reconstituted of dead flesh therefore sufficient quantities of maggots them used correctly would consume an undead creature completely.

Arguably the critters would not be able to work fast enough to consume all zombies, especially in a global outbreak. However, if a species of super-fast munching maggots could be developed with a high reproductive system the could be unleashed on a zombie horde and reduced to mere bones in no time. Castro and I even speculated that a range of anti zombie projectile weapons and bombs could be developed to disperse the maggots over a wider area. Then, the survivors could hole up somewhere safe while the the little fellas do their work.

Once all the zombies had been consumed the survivors could use the maggots as an ongoing form of pest control. Lets face it, public health is going to be a major issue post outbreak so when someone dies and is inevitably transformed into a flesh eating creature of the undead, Maggot Bombs could be used to dispatch it before it spreads its 'infection' to the remainder of the already dwindling population.

Wonderful creatures maggots. they make me sleep much better knowing they're around.
