What this larvae is?

I was cleaning one of my cages and there were dozens of them under the soiled hay where the bath dish sat.

That is what they are. I had an infestation of those flies this year. When I went to the Dollar General to buy some fly paper the cashier said it was a big seller this year. Everyone in Kentwood had an awful problem with them.

This has been such a hot and very humid summer, wet to so it is no wonder. Hope you get rid of them soon.
