Last summer, I started a compost heap for gardening purposes. Later on, I noticed quite an infestation of stable flies in an otherwise suburban environment.
I went on the Kansas State University entomolgy website, and discovered that stable flies like to lay eggs in piles of hay...and compost! Well, I didn't want to tell my neighbors who ws to blame but, just now I thought:
Could thermography predict which pile of organics would provide a favorable breeding ground, and could it warn of maximum sizes of compost heaps to (hopefully) prevent stable flies from moving in?
