fruit fly lids

Superior Enterprises - http://www.reptilepackaging.com/insectprice.htm

I really hate disposable. Those containers are made out of oil.

But I'm surrendering. I make about 40 cultures a week and I am so [email protected] tired of washing them.

I'll be expirementing with a different type of container a friend told me about.

Anyone know where to get foam plugs in bulk (don't say EDs - I'm looking for where they get them!)?

I think quality captives also sells the vented lids. Don't you have to buy 250 at a time from superior?

Foam Plugs

Anyone know where to buy the Foam Plugs in bulk? I'd rather get to the source rather than one of the retail places.

s

Instead of foam, why don't use fabric materials? Experiment with the ones that don't let the larvas out, but enough vent. to keep a large number of flies alive.

Because I'm going to use a cup that has a slurpee style dome on the top - perfect for a foam plug.

Just go to a fabric store and buy a peice of foam to cut up, works just as well...
