You might opt for better flies. Different strains grow faster. In my
experience wild (winged) fruit flies reproduce so quickly that the medium is
consumed before any mold can start, and plain instant potato flake is all you need .
I set the winged flies in the refrigerator to knock them out, but as soon as
warm air reaches them, they revive, so you have to be quick and get them
soaked before they can fly away. If winged flies are not for you, try several
different wingless or flightless strains until you find one or two that work
best.
A friend of mine uses regular wild flies, traps them in a bag and freezes
them. She says it works very well. I will try the potato flakes with my
flightless flies. Perhaps microwaving the flakes and using boiled distilled water
would help with the mold problem.
