:lol: So once again I show up late! That's cause I have to chase flies........................come back here you fuzzy black devil! ha ha gotcha ! opps, smached...hahahaha..... I thought I would never do maggots, but guess what! The no worms girl is now up to her elbows with magi's! I actually like them. Like Rick says just pop them out and they pupae and turn to flies, it is just hard right now timing them, any tips Rick? I know u told me , but I forget.... I love to do the setups like Phil does, but with time flying by so fast, I have settled to buy, seperate, fridge, set out, eat!

They take about a week for me to go from maggot to fly. You have to time it to know when to start a new batch that will turn into flies before you run out of the others. Figure out how long they take in your place and go from there.

Thanks Rick, they are taking about 8 days from magi to fly!

Since this is about flies and I'd rather not start a new thread I can get a free source of maggots people in the apartments here don't throw out their trash till it's maggot infested (honestly disgusting when you see it lmao) would raising those to flies be a good idea?

If you want too. Might save some money. Won't hurt anything. I wouldn't but that's just me.

 

[hibiscusmile]

I would, it shouldnt hurt anything, use them, they just gonna turn into flies and you will end up swatting them anyways

Well, you have two thumbs up from two experienced maggot people, so let me be sure what's involved.

You are going to pull bags of "disgusting" fly blown garbage out of the trash and sort the maggots from the used diapers, etc.?

Then are you going to keep them in a box outside or put them in your refrigerator like Rick and Hibiscusmile do?

Do you live alone? Does anyone ever visit you? Will you be eating the food out of the refrigerator if you will be keeping the maggots in it?

Have you checked the price of fly pupae on the SpiderPharm site?

Please tell us your plan!
