    #5941629 - 08/07/06 06:11 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

my jars are about 85-90% colonized now, but i noticed gnats flying around in the bin. one of the jars was infested with them and was thrown out, but i've now seen another jar with a few little maggots. ahhhhhh.

what do i do? is there any way to get rid of these pests? are the jars okay if they've been exposed to them?? :confused:

There is either a major flaw in your steaming, or pasteurizing.
  I assume PF steamed jars?

Or, a major flaw in your gas exchange provisions.

Because, either larva survived the steaming process, or gnats gained entry through the jar filters, and layed eggs in the substrate.

Which now are hatching inside those jars.

Gnats carry contaminates.
Jar content probably will go south. :mad2:

I would start over, and correct whatever the problem is.
