Ben,
You probably do this already.

In the summer the buildup of organic fertilizer can attract these things. A clean up of the top soil and replacing it with fresh gives a great look to your tree and a positive help for the maggots,etc.

Cheaper than insecticides, freshens up the look of the tree, opens up clogged soil, all good, no downside. Just a thought.
