    Thanks, that sounds like exactly how I do it now lol. This one is just super crazy full. I had to push the excelsior down a little because it was almost at the top probably adding to the problem. Anyway.... I will probably eventually venture into making my own from scratch. I have actually already started researching. But to start I was thinking of getting this kit... seems less daunting without so MUCH of everything lol.

    It's the same company/type I have been feeding it now, and it has great reviews. Amazon.com : The Fruit Fly Company Flightless Fruit Fly Starter Kit : Pest Controlling Insects : Pet Supplies

    I am thinking about getting some mite paper though.... I think I saw some on my original culture lid tonight. Don't really want them all over my house, and I haven't quite figured out the best place to keep the cultures yet. Right now I have them in a shoe box with holes cut for more venting and I just cleaned out a spot in my under the stairs closet for it. I wanted a place that would have good temps, but also a place not near other things I cared too much about because of mites and stuff rofl.

    The mites won't hurt anything else in your house. They are after the FF food. Mites are the enemy though. They will infest your cultures and out compete your FF for food causing the culture to crash.

    if you suspect one culture of having mites keep it away from the other culture or you will find yourself out of flies with a hungry frog!
