Hi All, 
Just wondering in I could get the word out for some advice and possible help.
There is a nest box in Minooka Park one of five I've been monitoring, (I kind 
of just eusurped the trail, I never saw anyone monitor it or any maintenance 
done), since the beginning of April.

I had two blowfly larva in the front of the nest about half way up that were 
exposed when I opened the front of the peterson box. In my experience I always 
found them on the very bottom. I removed them but didn't want to disturb the 
chicks. There were no larva under the nest. 

I'm worried that I should have completely removed the nest to check, but the 
chicks are pretty big now.

If someone is near Minooka, would you like to take a look? 

What do YOU do to remove blowfly larva....!

Regards, 

John Stuckert
