New Idea: Wingless Fruitflies!!

20 years ago

Well, as some will know I had a fruitfly issue in my bin and now it's in the garage.

Since fruitflies are suppose to be great for breaking down OM, and don't pose a disease vector, the only issue is the fact they fly around and make the area look like a garbage dumpster.

Well a thought occurred, why not put in wingless fruitflies. One could still use fruitflies but without them flying around. As long as the bin is covered by no-seem-cloth, they can't climb out. This way one can have fruiflies in-doors (too late for me).

Also one can use the fruitflies to feed to pets like Bettas, lizards etc.

Anybody tried this?

What would happen if these wingless flies (can be purchased from pet store) mix with common fruitflies (genitically).

Hmmm...interesting...
