| I have manure from my dog kennel. Would that be a better food for bsfl rather than say household kitchen waste? And does too much water kill the bsfl? |

| yep that the one. One of my bait station had no movement from the bsf larvae so I fed the pieces to the chickens and started that bucket over. I don't know what happened but no movement and they had not matured fully yet. My other had a lot of pest species in there so I watered it down and hope to k... |

| I have them started in my bait bucket but need to start transferring them to something they won't crawl out of. There was a big bin that I saw somewhere that was v shaped and very large to hold a lot of grubs. Does anyone know a link where I could build a large bin? |

I think ive got them. Is there any chance that a common house fly larvae would look the same as the bsfl? I ve got one or the other or both. But I definately have larvae whether itis bsfl Im not sure. I don't know how to post pictures of my larvae but I have them with my camera phone. |

| Jerry & others, The bait has been out several weeks. The corn has a sour smell and has seems to be mold on some of it. The rye and grain mixture has lots of gnats and some little white Larvae or maggots that I cant tell their species. The food scraps have some maggots but not sure if they are bl... |

| I also have manure that I would like bsf to convert to larvae. It attracts blow flies and other nasty creatures. I have used it as a fertilizer on pasture and it makes the grass grow but would rather convert it into bsf larvae if possible. It is very wet should i put it out with holes drilled in the... |
