Non-myiatic flies (such as the common housefly) can be responsible for accidental myiasis.

Worms have been able to survive in/under grub bins with bottoms that open into the ground. Redworms can live in grub bins when a large number of black soldier fly larvae are not present. Worms can be added if the larval population gets low (in the cold season) and worms can be raised in grub bins while awaiting eggs from wild black soldier flies.
