Ridding Soil of Root Maggots

Question

Our home is on what used to be a plum orchard. It was suggested that we may have root maggots. We have lived here for 21 years. What can we do to get rid of them before planting another tree in the front yard? We do have two fruitless mulberries in the back that are doing just fine.
