Grubhouse vs. a DIY Tote Bin: What Actually Goes Wrong in a Plastic Tub

Black Soldier Fly larvae turn food scraps into protein for chickens, reptiles, and fish. The Grubhouse is the complete habitat, built to order in Aurora, Colorado. Want to build your own bin? The Bin Kit is $59.95 with free US shipping.

Open the lid hatch. Coffee grounds, fruit peels, leftover veg, whatever you'd compost.
Larvae eat up to 2× their weight daily at peak feeding. Breathable walls keep air moving so the bin stays healthy instead of going anaerobic.
Mature larvae climb the ramps or the walls. The Grub Track catches both and drops them into the tub below.
Toss to chickens, reptiles, fish, birds. Pure protein, totally free.

Steel frame with wire shelves and two tubs. The colony lives up top; the tub underneath catches prepupae coming down the Grub Track. Built by hand in Aurora, allow 3 to 6 weeks. And while I build yours, I teach you how to run it.
