I'm not crazy about the idea of using the larvacide but thanks for the tip. I'm giving our bin a chance to build its worm population before I begin adding to it regularly.<BR/><BR/>Casey,<BR/>Even in my garage the little bugs drove my husband crazy!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911065931537643607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-80481551675338127492007-03-02T11:56:00.000-05:002007-03-02T11:56:00.000-05:00I solved my problems by putting the bin into the g...I solved my problems by putting the bin into the garageCasey Kochmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074213539857972743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9602464.post-37562249179645976912007-03-02T11:27:00.000-05:002007-03-02T11:27:00.000-05:00That's how I was going to solve the problem for yo...That's how I was going to solve the problem for you, too! That's the kind of bin I have. Bins, actually, as I've grown to three of them. I can't believe you only have one with a larger vegetarian family. DH (non-veg), me (veg), and daughter (only 2), easily are feeding two separate bins. The third could probably be used, but I tried it without a bottom container and it got too wet, so it's just composting now. Anyway, I put so much in that I use one for about 2-4 weeks then switch to the other one. And if you get the fruit flies back, as I did with a vengence, Garden's Alive sells a product that kills them. It's a larvacide and comes with all sorts of nasty warnings, but it didn't kill the worms. I wouldn't use it around the kids and dogs, however. But I was ready to give up before I found it (it's sold elsewhere, but in much larger quantities that say to use it up in 2 weeks; GA was about $20, and is still working a couple months later--I'm putting it on once a week for maintenance. But now I have some little worm-like infestation. sigh. And mine gets pretty smelly too. :( so I keep it in our unfinished basement where no one else goes.AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.com
