Great vid! I've made a smaller version strongly based on this. The flies love it, the maggots arrive, but they prefer to climb the walls of the bucket rather than climbing up the outlet pipe! Is there something in particular about your irrigation pipe? This is soooo close to working for me! Thanks!

From personal experience I’ve found BSF larvae’s favorite foods to also include avocado (along with carcasses). There have been plenty of times when I didn’t have any carcasses or meat scraps to feed them, but their numbers exponentially grew while I had access to a ton of overripe avocados that I let them feast on.

Hi Ange, Rob Bob’s Channel has been a huge inspiration for me. Thanks for coming and checking out my channel also. There isn’t an odour while the lid is on however you do get a good hit with the smell when you open it up. My neighbours haven’t complained so far so I’m taking that as a good sign. No, generally speaking the smell is contained inside the bucket.

Hi Matty, thankyou for the reply. I shall endeavour to make your system. Been thinking of different ways to harvest maggots but I am very impressed with the system that you have made.
