I'm going to guess that

I'm going to guess that section 4 of the Fly Eradication Regulations are what you're referring to;

"owner or occupier of any land or premises shall not place,

throw or leave, or permit or cause to be placed, thrown or left,

on the land or premises any waste food, manure, refuse,

garbage, waste matter or other matter whatsoever, which is

likely to attract or be a breeding place for flies, unless that waste

food, manure, refuse, garbage, waste matter or other matter is

covered, protected, treated or dealt with in such a manner as to

effectively prevent it attracting or being a breeding place for

flies."

 Used to grow my own wogs too. Haven't done it for a while though. Trick is to have plenty of pollard on hand.

cheers

Being a bird keep more

Wed, 2013-09-04 21:50

Being a bird keep more specificly a finch breeder myself we use maggots to feed to our finches as a livefood along with termites and mealworms so I atleast know a good 20 breeders with a good 2-3 fly boxes running come spring thru to bout  April so therefore we'd all be doing the illegal thing personally have never heard that u can no longer breed them. Ps maggots I breed are the bushfly so the maggots are to small and fiddly to put on a hook so sorry can't supply u some to start a colony

Fridge

After you've had them on pollard to clean them out make sure the container you put them in before refrigerating them has a good seal otherwise the missus is going to murder you if she finds Jack McTaggarts crawling round in the fridge
