I heard that they eat any organic matter but not sure if they'll consume oily foods...we do have lots of oily food refuse around here...
The only problem we've got here is the rich ecosystem and the myriad of lifeforms in malaysia. I've tried attracting bsf before but the whole thing turned into a carnival for every species of flies. Due the rising threat of health hazard I had to call it off...
One good thing about bsf is that they could destroy the life cycle of common houseflies by taking away their source of food and breeding. Hopefully we could get rid of this pest altogether with the introduction of black soldier fly.
