I don't need the flies.. just the media.
ASAP. before my culture die off. if possible, local pickup to save time and money.
I am not looking for the green/ blue one since they often become stink and moldy soon.

thanks
 
You can make your own easily.

one banana peeled and sliced
one peeled apple and chopped
1 tsp of bakers or brewers yeast
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4-1/3 cup of dry oats or potato flakes

Mix in a blender and you're set.
You can let it stand for 24 hours like some recommend,
but I don't and my flies never die.

This recipe gives me more flies than I can use.
 
somebody gave me a great tip last week it was to use cheap instant mash potato & bakers yeast & ive already got a few flies producing maggots.
half a pint of instant mash
1 teaspoon of bakers yeast
