Green shortz DIY, living food webs, and “nature’s always right” are YouTube channels that have some pretty extensive information on black soldier flies. As well, the site”Galveston county master gardeners” has a page on black soldier flies with plenty of info. The general feeling I’ve been getting from my black soldier fly research is that they do not generate problems. When they turn into flies they don’t have mouths so they don’t
land or lay eggs on food. The worst problem I’ve seen is that there is a slight pathogen problem in the larval stage but they don’t travel too far and all you need to do if you touch them is wash your hands. As well you can control the population by only letting a certain number reach fly stage (you do this by placing them in the ground away from the
compost). Just don’t let the larvae reach soil until your feeding them to
water you are feeding them to to limit those that continue to the next stage. But
permaculture is all about sustainable cycles so do keep them breeding.
Though, I’m also still in high school and haven’t done any
gardening outside of pepper plants so take what I say with a grain of salt.
