They can be used as an amendment as well as used in an IPM program. I do not use them equally but rather based on those categories.

I recently got into this subject when I found them in my compost heap. They looked revolting all wriggling around in a big mass.
So I started reading up on it and it seems there is no need to be revolted at all. They are highly beneficial. The 'flies' actually look more like black wasps, both the flies and the larvae are very hygienic.
So far as well as composting they are providing an excellent chicken feed. I also found a site that advocates them as human food, but I'm going to pass on that for now.
I heard somewhere that within a few days u can't detect pathogen microorganism in a soliderfly bin. Could this antibiotic effect have negative influence on the soil life?
Please tell us more about the use as ipm.
Teaspoon to tablespoon (depending on pot size) in a ring where the plant meets the soil. It was suggested to me that proximity stimulates SARS. I haven't done a side by side but I notice less problems / better expression when I maintain it as a practice.
