What about springtails? They multiply like wild fire. I put some in with my fruit beetles that i was hoping to breed, to keep the substrate clean. I am now over-run with springtails!!

i bought my culture from livefoods uk, and then made my own cultures from there, I used a recipe online for the media and so far it's worked a treat!

you can just create your own kits. I use a home made recipe, jam jars with tights stretched over the top with cotton wool or straw. I have loads of flies and they are doing real well.

I use empty cricket tubs, hole cut in the lid, then a bit of fine mesh net curtain between that, hey presto!

I have a recepie that was given to me by a friend, it is
1 part white sugar 2 parts powdered milk 4 parts instant mash 0.5 part yeast then mix with pure fruit juice and a tiny splash (literally 2ml) of vinegar. When it has been mixed it should be like a wet paste. Not a liquid. Leave it to stand for a day or so then add about 30-40 flies and some wood wool, straw or cotten wool and your away. This is only my 4th week into it but so far so good....

Right, brilliant. Cheers.
Will root around for some old jars tonight and see what I can find.
