tiny little flies infesting dubia bin

[ohmybandit]

I have taken them out one by one, i have cleaned the bin and i have even replaced the egg crates and they're still infesting and breeding in the bin. What can I do to get rid of these disgusting little creatures? The little larvas are crawling the sides of the bins. I hate bugs.

Hi Oh, sounds like your humidity is to high. They breed well in humidity. People have made traps you just have to look around. But until then you just have to keep it drier and keep replacing the creates. Also make sure your food does NOT contain any meal or chicken mash. Don't put any fruits or veggies in for a week or two.

Also want to say the Terro fruit fly trap non-toxic is supposed to work well.

Ok thanks lance! I throw in kitten food and the chow I bought from you. Are those ok?

You can just use the food you got from me no need for anything else besides a bit of water crystals. Keep the bin dry for a few days. You wont get bugs from my chow. Hopefully I can get your bin cleared up for you.
